New integral inequalities involving \(m\)-convex functions in \((p, q)\)-calculus (Q2143761)

Some new Hermite-Hadamard integral inequalities for \(m\)-convex functions via \((p,q)\)-calculus are obtained. First let us define the \((p,q)_a\)-integral and the \((p,q)^b\)-integral for the function \(f\). Definition. Let \(f:[a,b] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) be a continuous function and \(0<q<p\leq 1\). The definite \((p,q)_a\)-integral for the function \(f\) is defined as: \[ \int_a^x f(t) \phantom{.}_ad_{p,q}t := (p-q)(x-a)\sum_{v=0}^{\infty} \frac{q^v}{p^{v+1}} f\left( \frac{q^v}{p^{v+1}}x+\left(1-\frac{q^v}{p^{v+1}} \right) a \right), \] where \(x\in [a,b]\). The definite \((p,q)^b\)-integral for the function \(f\) is defined as: \[ \int_x^b f(t) \phantom{.}^bd_{p,q}t := (p-q)(b-x)\sum_{v=0}^{\infty} \frac{q^v}{p^{v+1}} f\left( \frac{q^v}{p^{v+1}}x+\left(1-\frac{q^v}{p^{v+1}} \right) b \right), \] where \(x\in [a,b]\). Let us recall the notion of \(m\)-convex functions. Definition. Let \(m \in (0,1]\). A function \(f:[0,b] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) is called \(m\)-convex if for all \(x,y\in [0,b]\) and all \(t\in [0,1]\) the following inequality holds: \[ f(tx+m(1-t)y) \leq tf(x)+m(1-t)f(y). \] It is worth mentioning that if \(m=1\), then an \(m\)-convex function \(f\) becomes a convex function. The following result is the Hermite-Hadamard-type inequality for \(m\)-convex functions. Theorem. Let \(f:I^0 \subset [0,\infty) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) be a continuous function on \(I^0\) (the interior of \(I\)) and \(a,b \in I^0\) with \(a<b\) and let \(0<q<p\leq 1\). If \(f\) is an \(m\)-convex function for \(m\in (0,1]\), then \[ 2f\left( \frac{a+b}{2}\right) \leq \frac{1}{p(b-a)} \left\{ \int_{pa+(1-p)b}^b f(t) \phantom{.}^bd_{p,q}t + \int_{\frac{a}{m}}^{p\frac bm +(1-p)\frac am} f(t) \phantom{.}_{\frac am}d_{p,q}t \right\} \] \[ \leq \frac{pf(a)+m(p+q)f(\frac bm)+m^2q f(\frac{a}{m^2} )}{p+q} . \]
