1. Introduction
The term Quantum Calculus in mathematics describes a form of calculus that proceeds without the concept of a limit. It is also referred to as
q-calculus and is essentially constructed around the concept of finite difference re-scaling. It was first addressed at the beginning of the 18th century. Euler first developed the
q-calculus and Jackson first presented the
q-integral and
q-derivative in Ref. [
1] (see also Ref. [
2]). There are many implementations of
q-calculus in physics and mathematics, including orthogonal polynomials, quantum theory, mechanics, number theory, combinatorics, fundamental hypergeometric functions, and theory of relativity. For examples, see Refs. [
3,
4,
5,
6,
7]. The basic understanding in addition to the underlying ideas of quantum theory are discussed and explored in the famous book by Cheung and Kac [
8].
Tariboon and Ntouyas [
9] created an entirely novel field of study, acquired numerous
q-analogues of classical mathematical objects, and presented the notions of quantum calculus on finite intervals. They have, for example, extended some prominent integral inequalities to the
q-calculus. This stimulated other investigators and, as a result, multiple innovative results via quantum equivalents of classical mathematical results were put forward in the literature.
In the domain of applied mathematics, fractional calculus encompasses the investigation and implementation of arbitrary order integrals and derivatives. Tariboon et al. [
10] investigated a new operator, namely
q-shifting operator
for analyzing new ideas related to fractional
q-calculus. In addition, since numerous inequalities are crucial for mathematical analysis, which depends on inequalities, Tariboon et al. examined and discussed some
q-integral inequalities in the frame of fractional calculus such as the
q-Korkine equality, the
q-Grüss, the
q-Hölder, the fractional
q-H-H, the
q-Polya–Szeqö, and the
q-Grüss–Chebyshev integral inequality on finite intervals. For details, see the monograph [
11].
The -calculus is an extended form of q-calculus. This calculus has a lot of importance and plays remarkable roles in physics and applied mathematics such as dynamical systems, mechanics, special functions, combinatorics, fractals, and number theory. In case of p this calculus collapses to the q-calculus.
Due to its numerous implementations in physics and mathematics, mathematical inequalities have significant implications in both of these fields. Convex functions are among the most important functions that have been utilized to analyze numerous intriguing inequalities, which is defined as:
Definition 1. A function is called convex, iffor all and Hermite [
12] and Hadamard [
13] first introduced and investigated the H-H inequality. This inequality is considered one of the most important concepts in applied and pure mathematics, with diverse and significant applications. It holds a prominent place in the study of convexity and is widely recognized for its geometrical interpretation. The H-H inequality has been extensively explored in the literature, highlighting its importance and unique properties. Numerous scholars have contributed various ideas in the field of inequalities. Due to its widespread perspective in the field of science, this inequality has become a dynamic and highly intriguing topic, and it has been extensively discussed in the context of convex functions. This inequality states that if real valued function

Let be a differentiable mapping on (the interior of an interval I), with If is convex on then The goal of this study is to provide an in-depth and current overview of H-H-type inequalities for various types of convexities in the frame of quantum calculus. In each part and subsection, we initially describe the fundamental definitions of various types of convexities and quantum calculus, followed by the results on H-H inequalities. We anticipate that compiling practically all current H-H-type inequalities in one file will assist new researchers in the field in learning about prior work on the topic before creating new findings.
This survey is devoted to reviewing the results on H-H type inequalities in quantum calculus, which is associated with a variety of classes of convexities. This review article is constructed in the following manner. In
Section 2 we introduce the reader to the basic concepts of
q-calculus and summarize quantum H-H inequalities for many classes of convexities, including classical convex functions, quasi-convex functions,
p-convex functions,
-convex functions, modified
-convex functions,
-convex functions,
-convex functions,
-quasi-convex functions,
-convex functions,
-convex functions,
-quasi-convex functions, and coordinated convex functions. Quantum H-H type inequalities via preinvex functions and Green functions are also presented. In
Section 3, we present H-H inequalities via fractional quantum calculus, while in
Section 4 we consider H-H inequalities regarding
-calculus. In
Section 5, we include results for
h-calculus and finally, in
Section 6, we present the results on
-calculus.
It is crucial to consider that the primary goal of this review paper is to provide insight into the current state of the field, address evident gaps, highlight essential research, and potentially establish consensus in areas where it has not yet been achieved. The goal of this review paper is to provide a concise overview of the most recent advances in a specific field, namely convex analysis in the context of quantum calculus. Overall, the present level of knowledge on convexity is summarized in this review paper. It helps the reader comprehend the topic by discussing the findings reported in current research documents. The incorporation of relevant results is essential to demonstrate the progress in the field, as our goal is to present a more comprehensive and accurate review. However, lengthy proofs are excluded from this paper, and readers are instead directed to the respective article for more detailed information.
