Abstract

In this paper, a new general identity for differentiable mappings via k-fractional integrals is derived. By using the concept of (h,m)-convexity, (α,m)-convexity and the obtained equation, some new trapezium-like integral inequalities are established. The results presented provide extensions of those given in earlier works.

Keywords: (h,m)-convex functions; (α,m)-convex functions; k-fractional integrals

Introduction

Let f:IRR be a convex mapping and a,bI along with a<b. The inequality

f(a+b2)1baabf(x)dxf(a)+f(b)2, 1.1

named Hermite-Hadamard’s inequality, is one of the most famous results for convex mappings. This inequality (1.1) is also known as trapezium inequality.

The trapezium-type inequality has remained an area of great interest due to its wide applications in the field of mathematical analysis. Many researchers generalized and extended it via mappings of different classes. For recent results, for example, see [17] and the references mentioned in these papers.

In 2013, Sarikaya et al. [8] established the following theorem by utilizing Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals.

Theorem 1.1

Let f:[a,b]R be a positive function along with 0a<b, and let fL1[a,b]. Suppose that f is a convex function on [a,b], then the following inequalities for fractional integrals hold:

f(a+b2)Γ(μ+1)2(ba)μ[Ja+μf(b)+Jbμf(a)]f(a)+f(b)2, 1.2

where the symbols Ja+μf and Jbμf denote respectively the left-sided and right-sided Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals of order μ>0 defined by

Ja+μf(x)=1Γ(μ)ax(xt)μ1f(t)dt,a<x

and

Jbμf(x)=1Γ(μ)xb(tx)μ1f(t)dt,x<b.

Here, Γ(μ) is the gamma function and its definition is Γ(μ)=0ettμ1dt. It is to be noted that Ja+0f(x)=Jb0f(x)=f(x).

In the case of μ=1, the fractional integral recaptures the classical integral.

Because of the extensive application of Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals, some authors extended their studies to fractional trapezium-type inequalities via mappings of different classes. For example, refer to [912] for convex mappings, to [13] for s-convex mappings, to [14] for (s,m)-convex mappings, to [15] for r-convex mappings, to [16] for harmonically convex mappings, to [17] for s-Godunova-Levin mappings, to [18, 19] for preinvex mappings, to [20] for MTm-preinvex mappings, to [21] for h-convex mappings and to references cited therein.

In [22], Mubeen and Habibullah introduced the following class of fractional derivatives.

Definition 1.1

([22])

Let fL1[a,b], then k-Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives Ja+μkf(x) and Jbμkf(x) of order μ>0 are given as

Ja+μkf(x)=1kΓk(μ)ax(xt)μk1f(t)dt(0a<x<b)

and

Jbμkf(x)=1kΓk(μ)xb(tx)μk1f(t)dt(0a<x<b),

respectively, where k>0 and Γk(μ) is the k-gamma function defined by Γk(μ)=0tμ1×etkkdt. Furthermore, Γk(μ+k)=μΓk(μ) and Ja+0kf(x)=kJb0f(x)=f(x).

The concept of k-Riemann-Liouville fractional integral is an important extension of Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals. We want to stress here that for k1 the properties of k-Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals are quite dissimilar from those of general Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals. For this, the k-Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals have aroused the interest of many researchers. Properties concerning this operator can be sought out [2326], and for the bounds for integral inequality related to this operator, the reader can refer to [2729] and the references mentioned in these papers.

Motivated and inspired by the recent research in this field, we obtain some k-Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of trapezium-type inequalities for (h,m)-convex mappings and (α,m)-convex mappings. The results presented in this paper provide extensions of those given in earlier works.

To end this section, we restate some special functions and definitions.

  1. The beta function:
    β(x,y)=01tx1(1t)y1dt=Γ(x)Γ(y)Γ(x+y),x,y>0.
  2. The incomplete beta function:
    β(a,x,y)=0atx1(1t)y1dt,0<a<1,x,y>0.

Definition 1.2

([30])

The function f:[0,b]R is named (α,m)-convex if, for every x,y[0,b] and t[0,1], the following inequality holds:

f(tx+m(1t)y)tαf(x)+m(1tα)f(y),

where (α,m)(0,1]×(0,1].

Definition 1.3

([31])

The function f:[0,b]R is called m-MT-convex if f is non-negative and, for all x,y[0,b] and t(0,1), with m(0,1], it satisfies the following inequality:

f(tx+m(1t)y)t21tf(x)+m1t2tf(y).

Definition 1.4

([32])

Let h:(0,1)JR be a non-negative function. A function f:IR is said to be h-convex if f is non-negative and

f(tx+(1t)y)h(t)f(x)+h(1t)f(y)

holds for all x,yI and t[0,1].

Definition 1.5

([33])

Let f:IRR be a non-negative function. A function f:IR is said to be tgs-convex if the inequality

f(tx+(1t)y)t(1t)[f(x)+f(y)]

holds for all x,yI and t(0,1).

Definition 1.6

([34])

Let h:(0,1)JR be a non-negative function. A function f:[0,b]R is named (h,m)-convex if f is non-negative and

f(tx+m(1t)y)h(t)f(x)+mh(1t)f(y)

holds for all x,y[0,b], t(0,1) and some fixed m(0,1].

Clearly, when putting h(t)=t(1t) in Definition 1.6, f becomes an (m,tgs)-convex function on [0,b] as follows.

Definition 1.7

The function f:[0,b]R is named (m,tgs)-convex if f is non-negative and

f(tx+m(1t)y)t(1t)[f(x)+mf(y)]

holds for all x,y[0,b], t(0,1) and some fixed m(0,1].

Note that, if we choose m=1 in Definition 1.7, f reduces to a tgs-convex function in Definition 1.5.

A lemma

To prove our main results, we consider the following new lemma.

Lemma 2.1

Let f:IRR be a differentiable mapping on Io (the interior of I) with 0a<mr, a,rI, for some fixed m(0,1]. If fL1[a,mr], then the following equality for k-fractional integral along with λ(0,1]12, k>0 and μ>0 exists:

Tk,μ(m,λ,r)=01((1t)μktμk)f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))dt, 2.1

where

Tk,μ(m,λ,r):=f(mλr+(1λ)a)+f(λa+m(1λ)r)(12λ)(mra)+Γk(μ+k)(12λ)μk+1(mra)μk+1×[kJ(mλr+(1λ)a)+μf(λa+m(1λ)r)+kJ(λa+m(1λ)r)μf(mλr+(1λ)a)]. 2.2

Proof

It suffices to note that

I=01((1t)μktμk)f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))dt=[01(1t)μkf(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))dt]+[01tμkf(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))dt]:=I1+I2. 2.3

Integrating by parts, we get

I1=[01(1t)μkf(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))dt]=f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))(1t)μk(12λ)(mra)|01+μk(12λ)(mra)[01(1t)μk1f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))dt]=f(mλr+(1λ)a)(12λ)(mra)+μk(12λ)(mra)×[01(1t)μk1f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))dt]. 2.4

Let x=t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am), t[0,1], equality (2.4) can be written as

I1=f(mλr+(1λ)a)(12λ)(mra)+μk(12λ)μk(mra)μk+1mλr+(1λ)aλa+m(1λ)r(λa+m(1λ)rx)μk1f(x)dx=f(mλr+(1λ)a)(12λ)(mra)+Γk(μ+k)(12λ)μk+1(mra)μk+1kJ(mλr+(1λ)a)+μf(λa+m(1λ)r), 2.5

and similarly we get

I2=01tμkf(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))dt=tμkf(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))(12λ)(mra)|01+μk(12λ)(mra)×01tμk1f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))dt=f(λa+m(1λ)r)(12λ)(mra)+Γk(μ+k)(12λ)μk+1(mra)μk+1kJ(λa+m(1λ)r)μf(mλr+(1λ)a). 2.6

Hence, using (2.5) and (2.6) in (2.3), we can obtain the desired result. □

Corollary 2.1

In Lemma  2.1, for k=1, we can get the result for Riemann-Liouville fractional integral.

Corollary 2.2

In Lemma  2.1, if we put λ=0, we get

f(a)+f(mr)mra+Γk(μ+k)(mra)μk+1[kJa+μf(mr)+kJmrμf(a)]=01((1t)μktμk)f(tmr+(1t)a)dt. 2.7

Similarly, taking λ=1 in Lemma  2.1, we obtain

f(a)+f(mr)mra+Γk(μ+k)(1)μk+1(mra)μk+1[kJmr+μf(a)+kJaμf(mr)]=01((1t)μktμk)f(ta+(1t)mr)dt. 2.8

Note that Jmr+μkf(a)+kJaμf(mr)=(1)μk[kJa+μf(mr)+kJmrμf(a)], it is easy to see that identity (2.8) is equal to identity (2.7).

Remark 2.1

  • (i)

    In Corollary 2.1, if we put r=b, then one can obtain Lemma 3.1 which is proved in [35]. Further, if we take m=1, then we obtain Lemma 2.1 in [12].

  • (ii)
    In Corollary 2.2,
    1. if we put k=1=m, then we obtain Lemma 3 in [11],
    2. if we put k=1=m and r=b, then we obtain Lemma 2 in [8],
    3. if we put k=m=μ=1 and r=b, then we obtain Lemma 2.1 in [36].

k-fractional integral inequalities for (h,m)-convex functions

In what follows, we establish some k-fractional integral inequalities for (h,m)-convex functions by using Lemma 2.1.

Theorem 3.1

Let h:JRR([0,1]J) be a non-negative function, and let f:IRR be a differentiable mapping on Io along with a,rI, 0a<mr, for some fixed m(0,1]. If fL1[a,mr] and |f|q for q1 is (h,m)-convex on [a,mr], then the following inequality exists:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|[2kμ+k(112μk)]11q[012((1t)μktμk)(h(t)+h(1t))dt]1q×[|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]1q, 3.1

where λ(0,1]12, k>0 and μ>0.

Proof

Case 1: q=1. Applying Lemma 2.1 and the (h,m)-convexity of |f|, we have

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|=|01((1t)μktμk)f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))dt|01|(1t)μktμk||f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))|dt01|(1t)μktμk|×[h(t)|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|+mh(1t)|f(λr+(1λ)am)|]dt=012((1t)μktμk)×[h(t)|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|+mh(1t)|f(λr+(1λ)am)|]dt+121(tμk(1t)μk)×[h(t)|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|+mh(1t)|f(λr+(1λ)am)|]dt,

where we use the fact that

121tμkh(t)dt=012(1t)μkh(1t)dt,121tμkh(1t)dt=012(1t)μkh(t)dt,121(1t)μkh(t)dt=012tμkh(1t)dt

and

121(1t)μkh(1t)dt=012tμkh(t)dt.

By calculation,

01|(1t)μktμk|[h(t)|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|+mh(t)|f(λr+(1λ)am)|]dt[012((1t)μktμk)(h(t)+h(1t))dt]×[|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|].

Case 2: q>1. Employing Lemma 2.1, the power mean inequality and the (h,m)-convexity of |f|q leads to

01|(1t)μktμk||f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))|dt[01|(1t)μktμk|dt]11q×[01|(1t)μktμk||f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))|qdt]1q[012((1t)μktμk)dt+121(tμk(1t)μk)dt]11q×{01|(1t)μktμk|[h(t)|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+mh(1t)|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]dt}1q=[2kμ+k(112μk)]11q[012((1t)μktμk)(h(t)+h(1t))dt]1q×[|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]1q.

This completes the proof. □

Now, we point out some special cases of Theorem 3.1.

Corollary 3.1

In Theorem  3.1, if we choose h(t)=t and r=b, then we derive the following inequality for m-convex functions:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,b)|2kμ+k[112μk][|f(λa+m(1λ)b)|q+m|f(λb+(1λ)am)|q2]1q. 3.2

Especially if we put k=1, we obtain Theorem 3.2 in [35].

Corollary 3.2

In Theorem  3.1, if we choose h(t)=t, m=1 and λ=0 or λ=1, then we derive the following inequality for convex functions:

|f(a)+f(r)ra+Γk(μ+k)(ra)μk+1[kJa+μf(r)+kJrμf(a)]|2kμ+k[112μk][|f(r)|q+|f(a)|q2]1q.

Remark 3.1

In Corollary 3.2,

  1. if we put k=1, we can obtain Theorem 2.3 in [12],

  2. if we put k=1 and r=b, we can obtain Corollary 2.4 in [12],

  3. if we put k=1=μ and r=b, we can obtain Theorem 1 in [37],

  4. if we put μ=q=k=1 and r=b, we can obtain Theorem 2.2 in [36].

Corollary 3.3

In Theorem  3.1, if we choose h(t)=ts, s(0,1], then we have the following inequality for (s,m)-Breckner convex functions:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|[2kμ+k(112μk)]11q×[β(12,s+1,μk+1)β(12,μk+1,s+1)+kk(s+1)+μkk(s+1)+μ(12)sk+μk]1q×[|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]1q. 3.3

Especially if we choose m=1=k and λ=0 or λ=1, we can get Theorem 7 in [38].

Corollary 3.4

In Theorem  3.1, if we put h(t)=1, then we obtain the following inequality for (m,P)-convex functions:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|2kμ+k[112μk][|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]1q.

Especially if we choose m=1 and λ=1 or λ=0, we have

|f(a)+f(r)2+Γk(μ+k)2(ra)μk[kJa+μf(r)+kJrμf(a)]|k(ra)μ+k[112μk][|f(r)|q+|f(a)|q]1q.

Corollary 3.5

In Theorem  3.1, if we take h(t)=ts, s(0,1), then we get the following inequality for (m,s)-Godunova-Liven-Dragomir convex functions:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|[2kμ+k(112μk)]11q×[β(12,1s,μk+1)β(12,μk+1,1s)+kμ+(1s)k(12skμk)]1q×[|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]1q.

Especially if we put m=1 and λ=1 or λ=0, we get

|f(a)+f(r)ra+Γk(μ+k)(ra)μk+1[kJa+μf(r)+kJrμf(a)]|[2kμ+k(112μk)]11q×[β(12,1s,μk+1)β(12,μk+1,1s)+kμ+(1s)k(12skμk)]1q×[|f(a)|q+|f(r)|q]1q.

Corollary 3.6

In Theorem  3.1, if we choose h(t)=t(1t), then we obtain the following inequality for (m,tgs)-convex functions:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|[2kμ+k(112μk)]11q[4k22μk(kμ+4k2)2(μ+2k)(μ+3k)]1q×[|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]1q.

Especially if we put m=1 and λ=1 or λ=0, we get

|f(a)+f(r)ra+Γk(μ+k)(ra)μk+1[kJa+μf(r)+kJrμf(a)]|[2kμ+k(112μk)]11q[4k22μk(kμ+4k2)(μ+2k)(μ+3k)]1q[|f(a)|q+|f(r)|2q]1q.

Corollary 3.7

In Theorem  3.1, if we choose h(t)=1t2t, then we obtain the following inequality for m-MT-convex functions:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|[2kμ+k(112μk)]11q[12(β(12,12,μk+12)β(12,μk+12,12))]1q×[|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]1q.

Especially if we put m=1 and λ=1 or λ=0, we get

|f(a)+f(r)ra+Γk(μ+k)(ra)μk+1[kJa+μf(r)+kJrμf(a)]|[2kμ+k(112μk)]11q[β(12,12,μk+12)β(12,μk+12,12)]1q×[|f(a)|q+|f(r)|q2]1q.

Now, we prepare to introduce the second theorem as follows.

Theorem 3.2

Under the assumptions of Theorem  3.1, the resulting expression exists:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|[012((1t)μkqtμkq)(h(t)+h(1t))dt]1q×[|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]1q, 3.4

where λ[0,1]12, k>0 and μ>0.

Proof Using Lemma 2.1, Hölder’s inequality and the (h,m)-convexity of |f|q, we have

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|01|(1t)μktμk||f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))|dt(011pdt)1p[01|(1t)μktμk|q×|f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))|qdt]1q=[012((1t)μktμk)q×|f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))|qdt+121(tμk(1t)μk)q×|f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))|qdt]1q{012((1t)μkqtμkq)×[h(t)|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+mh(1t)|f(λr+(1λ)am)|qdt]+121(tμkq(1t)μkq)×[h(t)|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+mh(1t)|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]dt}1q=[012((1t)μkqtμkq)(h(t)+h(1t))dt]1q×[|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]1q.

Here, we use (AB)qAqBq for any AB0 and q1.

Let us point out some special cases of Theorem 3.2.

Corollary 3.8

In Theorem  3.2, if we put h(t)=ts, s(0,1], then we get the following inequality for (s,m)-Breckner convex functions:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|[β(12,s+1,μkq+1)β(12,μkq+1,s+1)+kμq+(s+1)k(12μq+skk)]1q×[|f(λa+(1λ)r)|q+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]1q.

Especially if we put m=1 and λ=0 or λ=1, we have

|f(a)+f(r)ra+Γk(μ+k)(ra)μk+1[kJa+μf(r)+kJrμf(a)]|[β(12,s+1,μkq+1)β(12,μkq+1,s+1)+kμq+(s+1)k(12μq+skk)]1q×[|f(r)|q+|f(a)|q]1q.

Corollary 3.9

In Theorem  3.2, if we take h(t)=ts, s(0,1], then we get the following inequality for (m,s)-Godunova-Levin-Dragomir convex functions:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|[β(12,1s,μk+1)β(12,μk+1,1s)+kk(1s)+μ(12skμk)]1q×[|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]1q.

Especially if we take m=1 and λ=0 or λ=1, we have

|f(a)+f(r)ra+Γk(μ+k)(ra)μk+1[kJa+μf(r)+kJrμf(a)]|[β(12,1s,μk+1)β(12,μk+1,1s)+kk(1s)+μ(12skμk)]1q×[|f(r)|q+|f(a)|q]1q.

Corollary 3.10

In Theorem  3.2, if we put h(t)=t(1t), then we get the following inequality for (m,tgs)-convex functions:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|[2k2(12)μq+kk(4k2+kuq)(μq+2k)(μq+3k)]1q×[|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]1q.

Especially if we put m=1 and λ=0 or λ=1, we have

|f(a)+f(r)ra+Γk(μ+k)(ra)μk+1[kJa+μf(r)+kJrμf(a)]|[2k2(12)μq+kk(4k2+kuq)(μq+2k)(μq+3k)]1q[|f(r)|q+|f(a)|q]1q.

Corollary 3.11

In Theorem  3.2, if we put h(t)=1t2t, then we get the following inequality for m-MT-convex functions:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|[β(12,12,μkq+12)β(12,μkq+12,12)]1q×[|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q2]1q.

Especially if we put m=1 and λ=0 or λ=1, we have

|f(a)+f(r)ra+Γk(μ+k)(ra)μk+1[kJa+μf(r)+kJrμf(a)]|[β(12,12,μkq+12)β(12,μkq+12,12)]1q[|f(r)|q+|f(a)|q2]1q.

Now, we are ready to state the third theorem in this section.

Theorem 3.3

Let h:JRR([0,1]J) be a non-negative function, and let f:IRR be a differentiable mapping on Io along with a,rI, 0a<mr, for some fixed m(0,1]. If fL[a,mr] and |f|q for q>1 is (h,m)-convex on [a,mr], then the following inequality holds:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|[2kμp+k(112μkp)]1p×{01[h(t)|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+mh(1t)|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]dt}1q, 3.5

where 1p+1q=1, μ>0, k>0 and λ[0,1]12.

Proof

Applying Lemma 2.1, Hölder’s inequality and the (h,m)-convexity of |f|q, we have

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|01|(1t)μktμk||f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))|dt[01|(1t)μktμk|p]1p×[|f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))|qdt]1q=[012((1t)μktμk)pdt+121(tμk(1t)μk)pdt]1p×{01[h(t)|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+mh(1t)|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]dt}1q[012((1t)μkptμkp)dt+121(tμkp(1t)μkp)dt]1p×{01[h(t)|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+mh(1t)|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]dt}1q=[2kμp+k(112μkp)]1p×{01[h(t)|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+mh(1t)|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]dt}1q.

Here, we use the fact that (AB)qAqBq for any AB0 and q1, which completes the proof. □

Now, we point out some special cases of Theorem 3.3.

Corollary 3.12

In Theorem  3.3, if we choose h(t)=t and r=b, then we obtain the following inequality for m-convex functions:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,b)|[2kμp+k(112μkp)]1p[|f(λa+(1λ)b)|q+m|f(λb+(1λ)am)|q2]1q.

Especially if we put k=1, we obtain Theorem 3.3 in [35]. Further, if we put m=1, we obtain Theorem 2.6 in [12].

Corollary 3.13

In Theorem  3.3, if we choose h(t)=t, m=1 and λ=0 or λ=1, then we obtain the following inequality for convex functions:

|f(a)+f(r)ra+Γk(μ+k)(ra)μk+1[kJa+μf(r)+kJrμf(a)]|[2kμp+k(112μkp)]1p[|f(r)|q+|f(a)|q2]1q.

Remark 3.2

In Corollary 3.13,

  1. if we take k=1 and r=b, we can get Corollary 2.7 in [12],

  2. if we take k=1=μ and r=b, we can get Corollary 2.8 in [12].

Corollary 3.14

In Theorem  3.3, if we choose h(t)=ts, s(0,1], then we obtain the following inequality for (s,m)-Breckner convex functions:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|[2kμp+k(112μkp)]1p[|f(λa+(1λ)r)|q+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|qs+1]1q.

Especially if we put m=1 and λ=0 or λ=1, then we have

|f(a)+f(r)ra+Γk(μ+k)(ra)μk+1[kJa+μf(r)+kJrμf(a)]|[2kμp+k(112μkp)]1p[|f(a)|q+|f(r)|qs+1]1q.

Corollary 3.15

In Theorem  3.3, if we put h(t)=1, then we obtain the following inequality for (m,P)-convex functions:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|[2kμp+k(112μkp)]1p[|f(λa+(1λ)r)|q+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]1q.

Especially if we put m=1 and λ=1 or λ=0, we have

|f(a)+f(r)ra+Γk(μ+k)(ra)μk+1[kJa+μf(r)+kJrμf(a)]|[2kμp+k(112μkp)]1p[|f(r)|q+|f(a)|q]1q.

Corollary 3.16

In Theorem  3.3, if we take h(t)=ts, s(0,1), then we obtain the following inequality for (s,m)-Godunova-Levin-Dragomir convex functions:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|[2kμp+k(112μkp)]1p[|f(λa+(1λ)r)|q+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q1s]1q.

Especially if we take m=1 and λ=1 or λ=0, we have

|f(a)+f(r)ra+Γk(μ+k)(ra)μk+1[kJa+μf(r)+kJrμf(a)]|[2kμp+k(112μkp)]1p[|f(r)|q+|f(a)|q1s]1q.

Corollary 3.17

In Theorem  3.3, if we put h(t)=1t2t, then we obtain the following inequality for m-MT-convex functions:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|(π4)1q[2kμp+k(112μkp)]1p×[|f(λa+(1λ)r)|q+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]1q.

Especially if we put m=1 and λ=0 or λ=1, we have

|f(a)+f(r)ra+Γk(μ+k)(ra)μk+1[kJa+μf(r)+kJrμf(a)]|(π4)1q[2kμp+k(112μkp)]1p[|f(r)|+|f(a)|]1q.

Corollary 3.18

In Theorem  3.3, if we choose h(t)=t(1t), then we obtain the following inequality for (m,tgs)-convex functions:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|(16)1q[2kμp+k(112μkp)]1p[|f(λa+(1λ)r)|q+m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]1q.

Especially if we choose m=1 and λ=0 or λ=1, we have

|f(a)+f(r)ra+Γk(μ+k)(ra)μk+1[kJa+μf(r)+kJrμf(a)]|(16)1q[2kμp+k(112μkp)]1p[|f(r)|q+|f(a)|q]1q.

k-fractional inequalities for (α,m)-convex functions

Using Lemma 2.1 again, we state the following theorems.

Theorem 4.1

Let f:IRR be a differentiable mapping on Io along with a,rI and 0a<mr. If |f|q for q1 is (α,m)-convex on [a,mr] and fL1[a,mr]. Then the following inequality for k-fractional integrals holds:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|[2kμ+k(112μk)]11q{[β(12,α+1,μk+1)β(12,μk+1,α+1)+kμ+(α+1)kkμ+(α+1)k(12)μ+αkk]|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q[β(12,α+1,μk+1)β(12,μk+1,α+1)+kμ+(α+1)kkμ+(α+1)k(12)μ+αkk+2kμ+k(12)μk2kμ+k]m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q}1q, 4.1

where λ(0,1]12, k>0 and μ>0.

Proof

Using Lemma 2.1, the power mean inequality and the (α,m)-convexity of |f|q, we have

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|01|(1t)μktμk||f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))|dt[01|(1t)μktμk|dt]11q×[01|(1t)μktμk||f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))|qdt]1q[012((1t)μktμk)dt+121(tμk(1t)μk)dt]11q×{01|(1t)μktμk|×[tα|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+m(1tα)|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]dt}1q=[2kμ+k(112μk)]11q{[β(12,α+1,μk+1)β(12,μk+1,α+1)+kμ+(α+1)kkμ+(α+1)k(12)μ+αkk]|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q[β(12,α+1,μk+1)β(12,μk+1,α+1)+kμ+(α+1)kkμ+(α+1)k(12)μ+αkk+2kμ+k(12)μk2kμ+k]m|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q}1q,

which completes the proof. □

Theorem 4.2

Under the assumptions of Theorem  4.1, the following inequality for k-fractional integrals holds:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|{[β(12,α+1,μkq+1)β(12,μkq+1,α+1)+kμq+(α+1)kkμq+(α+1)k(12)μq+αkk]|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q[β(12,α+1,μkq+1)β(12,μkq+1,α+1)kμq+(α+1)k(12)μq+αkk+kμq+(α+1)k2kμq+k+2kμq+k(12)μqk]m|f(λr+m(1λ)am)|q}1q, 4.2

where λ(0,1]12, k>0 and μ>0.

Proof

By making use of Lemma 2.1, Hölder’s inequality and the (α,m)-convexity of |f|q, we get

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|01|(1t)μktμk||f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))|dt(011pdt)1p[01|(1t)μktμk|q×|f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))|qdt]1q=[012|(1t)μktμk|q|f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))|qdt+121|tμk(1t)μk|q|f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))|qdt]1q{012((1t)μkqtμkq)×[tα|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+m(1tα)|f(λr+(1λ)am)|qdt]+121(tμkq(1t)μkq)×[tα|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+m(1tα)|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]dt}1q={[β(12,α+1,μkq+1)β(12,μkq+1,α+1)+kμq+(α+1)kkμq+(α+1)k(12)μq+αkk]|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q[β(12,α+1,μkq+1)β(12,μkq+1,α+1)kμq+(α+1)k(12)μq+αkk+kμq+(α+1)k2kμq+k+2kμq+k(12)μqk]m|f(λr+m(1λ)am)|q}1q.

Here, we use (AB)qAqBq for any AB0 and q1. This ends the proof. □

Theorem 4.3

Let f:IRR be a differentiable mapping on Io along with a,rI and 0a<mr. If |f|q for q>1 is (α,m)-convex on [a,mr] and fL1[a,mr], then the following inequality for k-Riemann-Liouville fractional integral holds:

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|[2kμp+k(112μkp)]1p×[1α+1|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+αmα+1|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]1q, 4.3

where λ(0,1]12, k>0, μ>0 and 1p+1q=1.

Proof

Employing Lemma 2.1, Hölder’s inequality and the (α,m)-convexity of |f|q, we have

|Tk,μ(m,λ,r)|[01|(1t)μktμk|p]1p×[01|f(t(λa+m(1λ)r)+m(1t)(λr+(1λ)am))|qdt]1q[012((1t)μktμk)pdt+121(tμk(1t)μk)pdt]1p×{01[tα|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+m(1tα)|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]dt}1q[012((1t)μkptμkp)dt+121(tμkp(1t)μkp)dt]1p×{01[tα|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+m(1tα)|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]dt}1q=[2kμp+k(112μkp)]1p×[1α+1|f(λa+m(1λ)r)|q+αmα+1|f(λr+(1λ)am)|q]1q,

where we use the fact that (AB)qAqBq for any AB0 and q1. This completes the proof. □

Remark 4.1

If we take λ=0 or λ=1, we can deduce some new k-fractional integral trapezium-like inequalities from the results of Theorems 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 and their related inequalities.
