Abstract

The aim of this paper is to establish some new fractional Hadamard and Fejér-Hadamard inequalities for exponentially \((h,m)\)-convex functions. These inequalities are produced by using the generalized fractional integral operators containing Mittag-Leffler function via a monotonically increasing function. The presented results hold for various kinds of convexities and well known fractional integral operators.

Keywords: Convex functions, exponentially \((h,m)\)-convex functions, Hadamard inequality, Fejér-Hadamard inequality, generalized fractional integral operators, Mittag-Leffler function.

1. Introduction

Convex functions are very important in the field of mathematical inequalities. Nobody can deny the importance of convex functions. A large number of mathematical inequalities exist in literature due to convex functions. For more information related to convex functions and it’s properties (see, [1, 2, 3]).

Definition 1. A function \(\mu:I\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) on an interval of real line is said to be convex, if for all \(\alpha,\beta\in I\) and \(\kappa\in[0,1]\), the following inequality holds:

\begin{equation}\label{34} \mu(\kappa \alpha+(1-\kappa)\beta)\leq \kappa\mu(\alpha)+(1-\kappa)\mu(\beta). \end{equation}
(1)
The function \(\mu\) is said to be concave if \(-\mu\) is convex.

A convex function is interpreted very nicely in the coordinate plane by the well known Hadamard inequality stated as follows:

Theorem 2. Let \(\mu:[\alpha,\beta]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) be a convex function such that \(\alpha< \beta\). The following inequalities holds: \begin{equation*} \mu\left(\frac{\alpha+\beta}{2}\right)\leq \frac{1}{\beta-\alpha}\int^{\beta}_{\alpha}\mu(\kappa)d\kappa\leq \frac{\mu(\alpha)+\mu(\beta)}{2}. \end{equation*}

In [4], Fejér gave the generalization of Hadamard inequality known as the Fejér-Hadamard inequality stated as follows:

Theorem 3. Let \(\mu:[\alpha,\beta]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) be a convex function such that \(\alpha< \beta\). Also let \(\nu:[\alpha,\beta]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) be a positive, integrable and symmetric to \(\frac{\alpha+\beta}{2}\). The following inequalities hold:

\begin{equation}\label{r} \mu\left(\frac{\alpha+\beta}{2}\right)\int_{\alpha}^{\beta}\nu(\kappa)d\kappa\leq \int_{\alpha}^{\beta}\mu(\kappa)\nu(\kappa)d\kappa\leq \frac{\mu(\alpha)+\mu(\beta)}{2}\int_{\alpha}^{\beta}\nu(\kappa)d\kappa. \end{equation}
(2)

The Hadamard and the Fejér-Hadamard inequalities are further generalized in various ways by using different fractional integral operators such as Riemann-Liouville, Katugampola, conformable and generalized fractional integral operators containing Mittag-Leffler function etc. For more results and details (see, [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21]). Next we give the definition of exponentially convex functions.

Definition 4.[9, 22] A function \(\mu: I\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\) on an interval of real line is said to be exponentially convex, if for all \(\alpha,\beta \in I\) and \(\kappa\in[0,1]\), the following inequality holds:

\begin{equation}\label{11} e^{ \mu(\kappa \alpha+(1-\kappa)\beta)}\leq \kappa e^{\mu(\alpha)}+(1-\kappa)e^{\mu(\beta)}. \end{equation}
(3)

In [23], Rashid et al., gave the definition of exponentially \(s\)-convex functions.

Definition 5. Let \(s\in[0,1]\). A function \(\mu: I\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\) on an interval of real line is said to be exponentially \(s\)-convex, if for all \(\alpha,\beta \in I\) and \(\kappa\in[0,1]\), the following inequality holds:

\begin{equation}\label{12} e^{ \mu(\kappa \alpha+(1-\kappa)\beta)}\leq \kappa^s e^{\mu(\alpha)}+(1-\kappa)^se^{\mu(\beta)}. \end{equation}
(4)

In [24], Rashid et al., gave the definition of exponentially \(h\)-convex functions.

Definition 6. Let \(J\subseteq\mathbb{R}\) be an interval containing \((0,1)\) and let \(h: J\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\) be a non-negative function. Then a function \(\mu: I\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\) on an interval of real line is said to be exponentially \(h\)-convex, if for all \(\alpha,\beta \in I\) and \(\kappa\in[0,1]\), the following inequality holds:

\begin{equation}\label{13} e^{ \mu(\kappa \alpha+(1-\kappa)\beta)}\leq h(\kappa) e^{\mu(\alpha)}+h(1-\kappa)e^{\mu(\beta)}. \end{equation}
(5)

In [25], Rashid et al., gave the definition of exponentially \(m\)-convex functions.

Definition 7. A function \(\mu: I\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\) on an interval of real line is said to be exponentially \(m\)-convex, if for all \(\alpha,\beta \in I\), \(m\in(0,1]\) and \(\kappa\in[0,1]\), the following inequality holds:

\begin{equation}\label{14} e^{ \mu(\kappa \alpha+m(1-\kappa)\beta)}\leq \kappa e^{\mu(\alpha)}+m(1-\kappa)e^{\mu(\beta)}. \end{equation}
(6)

In [26], Rashid et al., gave the definition of exponentially \((h,m)\)-convex functions.

Definition 8. Let \(J\subseteq\mathbb{R}\) be an interval containing \((0,1)\) and let \(h: J\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\) be a non-negative function. Then a function \(\mu: I\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\) on an interval of real line is said to be exponentially \((h,m)\)-convex, if for all \(\alpha,\beta \in I\), \(m\in(0,1]\) and \(\kappa\in[0,1]\), the following inequality holds:

\begin{equation}\label{15} e^{ \mu(\kappa \alpha+m(1-\kappa)\beta)}\leq h(\kappa) e^{\mu(\alpha)}+mh(1-\kappa)e^{\mu(\beta)}. \end{equation}
(7)

Remark 1.

  1. If we set \(h(\kappa)=\kappa\) and \(m=1\) in (7), then exponentially convex function (3) is obtained.
  2. If we set \(h(\kappa)=\kappa^s\) and \(m=1\) in (7), then exponentially \(s\)-convex function (4) is obtained.
  3. If we set \(m=1\) in (7), then exponentially \(h\)-convex function (5) is obtained.
  4. If we set \(h(\kappa)=\kappa\) in (7), then exponentially \(m\)-convex function (6) is obtained.

Fractional integral operators also play important role in the subject of mathematical analysis. Recently in [27], Andrić et al., defined the generalized fractional integral operators containing generalized Mittag-Leffler function in their kernels as follows:

Definition 9. Let \(\psi,\sigma,\phi,l,\varsigma,c\in \mathbb{C}\), \(\Re(\sigma),\Re(\phi),\Re(l)>0\), \(\Re(c)>\Re(\varsigma)>0\) with \(p\geq0\), \(r>0\) and \(0< q\leq r+\Re(\sigma)\). Let \(\mu\in L_{1}[\alpha,\beta]\) and \(u\in[\alpha,\beta].\) Then the generalized fractional integral operators \(\Upsilon_{\sigma,\phi,l,\psi,\alpha^{+}}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}\mu \) and \(\Upsilon_{\sigma,\phi,l,\psi,\beta^{-}}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}\mu\) are defined by:

\begin{equation}\label{a} \left(\Upsilon_{\sigma,\phi,l,\psi,\alpha^{+}}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}\mu \right)(u;p)=\int_{\alpha}^{u}(u-\kappa)^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi(u-\kappa)^{\sigma};p)\mu(\kappa)d\kappa, \end{equation}
(8)
\begin{equation} \left(\Upsilon_{\sigma,\phi,l,\psi,\beta^{-}}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}\mu \right)(u;p)=\int_{u}^{\beta}(\kappa-u)^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi(\kappa-u)^{\sigma};p)\mu(\kappa)d\kappa, \end{equation}
(9)
where \(E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\kappa;p)\) is the generalized Mittag-Leffler function defined as follows: \begin{equation*} E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\kappa;p)= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{\beta_{p}(\varsigma+nq,c-\varsigma)}{\beta(\varsigma,c-\varsigma)} \frac{(c)_{nq}}{\Gamma(\sigma n +\phi)} \frac{\kappa^{n}}{(l)_{n r}}. \end{equation*}

In [28], Farid defined the following unified integral operators:

Definition 10. Let \(\mu, \nu: [\alpha,\beta]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\), \(0< \alpha0\), \(\Re(c)>\Re(\varsigma)>0\) with \(p\geq0\), \(\sigma,r>0\) and \(0< q\leq r+\sigma\). Then for \(u\in[\alpha,\beta]\) the integral operators \(_{\nu}\Upsilon_{\sigma, \phi,l, \alpha^{+}}^{\gamma, \varsigma,r,q,c}\mu\) and \(_{\nu}\Upsilon_{\sigma, \phi,l, \beta^{-}}^{\gamma, \varsigma,r,q,c}\mu\) are defined by:

\begin{align}\label{sd} \left(_{\nu}\Upsilon_{\sigma, \phi,l, \alpha^{+}}^{\gamma, \varsigma,r,q,c}\mu\right)(u;p)=\int_{\alpha}^{u}\frac{\gamma(\nu(u)-\nu(\kappa))}{\nu(u)-\nu(\kappa)} E_{\sigma, \phi, l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c} (\psi(\nu(u)-\nu(\kappa))^{\sigma};p)\mu(\kappa)d(\nu(\kappa)), \end{align}
(10)
\begin{align}\label{sb} \left(_{\nu}\Upsilon_{\sigma, \phi,l, \beta^{-}}^{\gamma, \varsigma,r,q,c}\mu\right)(u;p)=\int_{u}^{\beta}\frac{\gamma(\nu(\kappa)-\nu(u))}{\nu(\kappa)-\nu(u)} E_{\sigma, \phi, l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c} (\psi(\nu(\kappa)-\nu(u))^{\sigma};p)\mu(\kappa)d(\nu(\kappa)). \end{align}
(11)

If we set \(\gamma(u)=u^\phi\) in (10) and (11), then we get the following generalized fractional integral operators containing Mittag-Leffler function:

Definition 11. Let \(\mu, \nu: [\alpha,\beta]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\), \(0< \alpha0\), \(\Re(c)>\Re(\varsigma)>0\) with \(p\geq0\), \(\sigma,r>0\) and \(0< q\leq r+\sigma\). Then for \(u\in[\alpha,\beta]\) the integral operators \(_{\nu}\Upsilon_{\sigma, \phi,l,\psi, \alpha^{+}}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}\mu\) and \(_{\nu}\Upsilon_{\sigma, \phi,l,\psi, \beta^{-}}^{ \varsigma,r,q,c}\mu\) are defined by:

\begin{equation}\label{1} \left(_{\nu}\Upsilon_{\sigma, \phi,l, \psi, \alpha^{+}}^{ \varsigma,r,q,c}\mu\right)(u;p)=\int_{\alpha}^{u}(\nu(u)-\nu(\kappa))^{\phi-1} E_{\sigma, \phi, l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c} (\psi(\nu(u)-\nu(\kappa))^{\sigma};p)\mu(\kappa)d(\nu(\kappa)), \end{equation}
(12)
\begin{equation}\label{7} \left(_{\nu}\Upsilon_{\sigma, \phi,l,\psi, \beta^{-}}^{ \varsigma,r,q,c}\mu\right)(u;p)=\int_{u}^{\beta}(\nu(\kappa)-\nu(u))^{\phi-1} E_{\sigma, \phi, l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c} (\psi(\nu(\kappa)-\nu(u))^{\sigma};p)\mu(\kappa)d(\nu(\kappa)). \end{equation}
(13)

Remark 2. (12) and (13) are the generalization of the following fractional integral operators:

  1. Setting \(\nu(u)=u\), the fractional integral operators (8) and (9), can be obtained.
  2. Setting \(\nu(u)=u\) and \(p=0\), the fractional integral operators defined by Salim-Faraj in [29]TOS}, can be obtained.
  3. Setting \(\nu(u)=u\) and \(l=r=1\), the fractional integral operators defined by Rahman et al., in [30], can be obtained.
  4. Setting \(\nu(u)=u\), \(p=0\) and \(l=r=1\), the fractional integral operators defined by Srivastava-Tomovski in [31], can be obtained.
  5. Setting \(\nu(u)=u\), \(p=0\) and \(l=r=q=1\), the fractional integral operators defined by Prabhakar in [32], can be obtained.
  6. Setting \(\nu(u)=u\) and \(\psi=p=0\), the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operators can be obtained.

In [33], Mehmood et al., proved the following formulas for constant function:
\begin{equation}\label{1*} \left(_{\nu}\Upsilon_{\sigma, \phi,l, \psi, \alpha^{+}}^{ \varsigma,r,q,c}1\right)(u;p)=(\nu(u)-\nu(\alpha))^{\phi}E_{\sigma, \phi+1, l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c} (\psi(\nu(u)-\nu(\alpha))^{\sigma};p):=_{\nu}\xi_{\psi, \alpha^{+}}^{\phi}(u;p), \end{equation}
(14)
\begin{equation}\label{7*} \left(_{\nu}\Upsilon_{\sigma, \phi,l, \psi, \beta^{-}}^{ \varsigma,r,q,c}1\right)(u;p)=(\nu(\beta)-\nu(u))^{\phi}E_{\sigma, \phi+1, l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c} (\psi(\nu(\beta)-\nu(u))^{\sigma};p):=_{\nu}\xi_{\psi, \beta^{-}}^{ \phi}(u;p). \end{equation}
(15)
The objective of this paper is to establish the Hadamard and the Fejér-Hadamard inequalities for generalized fractional integral operators (12) and (13) containing Mittag-Leffler function via a monotone function by using the exponentially \((h,m)\)-convex functions. These inequalities lead to produce the Hadamard and the Fejér-Hadamard inequalities for various kinds of exponentially convexity and well known fractional integral operators given in Remark 1 and Remark 2. In Section 2, we prove the Hadamard inequalities for generalized fractional integral operators (12) and (13) via exponentially \((h,m)\)-convex functions. In Section 3, we prove the Fejér-Hadamard inequalities for these generalized fractional integral operators via exponentially \((h,m)\)-convex functions. Moreover, some of the results published in [26, 33, 34] have been obtained in particular.

2.Fractional Hadamard inequalities for exponentially \((h,m)\)-convex functions

In this section, we will give two versions of the generalized fractional Hadamard inequality. To establish these inequalities exponentially \((h,m)\)-convexity and generalized fractional integrals operators have been used.

Theorem 12. Let \(\mu,\nu: [\alpha,m\beta]\subset[0,\infty)\to\mathbb{R}\), \(0< \alpha< m\beta\) be two functions such that \(\mu\) be integrable and \(\nu\) be differentiable. If \(\mu\) be exponentially \((h,m)\)-convex, \(\nu\) be strictly increasing and \(h\in[0,1]\). Then for generalized fractional integral operators, the following inequalities hold:

\begin{align}\label{yty} &{e^{\mu\left( \frac{\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)}} _{\nu}\xi^{\phi}_{\bar{\psi},\alpha^{+}}(\nu^{-1}(m\nu(\beta));p)\nonumber\\\nonumber &\leq\! h\!\left(\!\frac{1}{2}\!\right)\!\!\left[\!\left(\!_{\nu}\Upsilon_{\sigma,\phi,l,\bar{\psi},\alpha^{+}}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}e^{\mu\circ\nu}\!\right)\!\!(\!\nu^{-1}(\!m\nu(\beta));p)\!+\!\nonumber m^{\phi+1}\!\!\left(\!_{\nu}\Upsilon_{\sigma,\phi,l,\bar{\psi}m^\sigma,\beta^{-}}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}e^{\mu\circ\nu}\!\!\right)\!\!\left(\!\!\nu^{-1}\!\left(\!\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\!\right)\!;p\!\right)\!\right]\\\nonumber &\leq h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right){(m\nu(\beta)-\nu(\alpha))}^\phi\left[\left(e^{\mu(\nu(\alpha))}+me^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}\right) \left(\Upsilon_{\sigma,\phi,l,{\psi},1^{-}}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}h\right)(0;p)\right.\nonumber\\ &\;\;\;\left.+m\left(e^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}+me^{\mu\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m^2}\right)}\right)\left(\Upsilon_{\sigma,\phi,l,{\psi},0^{+}}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}h\right)(1;p)\right],\;\;\text{where}\;\; \bar{\psi}=\frac{\psi}{(m\nu(\beta)-\nu(\alpha))^{\sigma}}. \end{align}
(16)

Proof. By the exponentially \((h,m)\)-convexity of \(\mu\), we have

\begin{equation}\label{b} {e^{\mu\left( \frac{\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)}}\leq h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \left[{e^{{\mu(\kappa\nu(\alpha)+m(1-\kappa)\nu(\beta))}}}+m{e^{{\mu((1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta))}}}\right]. \end{equation}
(17)
Multiplying (17) with \(\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)\) and integrating over \([0,1]\), we have
\begin{align}\label{ad} &{e^{\mu\left( \frac{\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)}}\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)d\kappa\notag \\&\leq h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \left[ \int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p){e^{{\mu(\kappa\nu(\alpha)+m(1-\kappa)\nu(\beta))}}}d\kappa\right.\left.+m\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p){e^{{\mu((1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta))}}}d\kappa\right]. \end{align}
(18)
Setting \(\nu(u)=\kappa\nu(\alpha)+m(1-\kappa)\nu(\beta)\) and \(\nu(v)=(1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta)\) in (18), then again from exponentially \((h,m)\)-convexity of \(\mu\), we have
\begin{align}\label{c} &e^{{\mu(\kappa\nu(\alpha)+m(1-\kappa)\nu(\beta))}}+me^{{\mu((1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta))}}\notag\\ &\leq h(\kappa)\left(e^{\mu(\nu(\alpha))}+me^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}\right)+mh(1-\kappa)\left(e^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}+me^{\mu\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m^2}\right)}\right). \end{align}
(19)
Multiplying (19) with \(h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)\) and integrating over \([0,1]\), we have
\begin{align}\label{ab} &\notag h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\bigg[\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)e^{{\mu(\kappa\nu(\alpha)+m(1-\kappa)\nu(\beta))}}d\kappa+m\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)e^{{\mu((1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta))}}d\kappa\bigg]\\&\leq h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \bigg[\left(e^{\mu(\nu(\alpha))}+me^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}\right)\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)h(\kappa)d\kappa+m\left(e^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}+me^{\mu\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m^2}\right)}\right) \nonumber\\&\;\;\;\times \int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)h(1-\kappa)d\kappa\bigg]. \end{align}
(20)
Setting \(\nu(u)=\kappa\nu(\alpha)+m(1-\kappa)\nu(\beta)\) and \(\nu(v)=(1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta)\) in (20), then by using (8), (9), (12)and (13), the second inequality of (16) is obtained.

Corollary 1. Setting \(m=1\) in (16), the following inequalities for exponentially \(h\)-convex function can be obtained:

\begin{align}\label{yty*} & {e^{\mu\left( \frac{\nu(\alpha)+\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)}} _{\nu}\xi^{\phi}_{\bar{\psi},\alpha^{+}}(\beta;p)\leq h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\bigg[\left(_{\nu}\Upsilon_{\sigma,\phi,l,\bar{\psi},\alpha^{+}}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}e^{\mu\circ\nu}\right)(\beta;p)+ \left(_{\nu}\Upsilon_{\sigma,\phi,l,\bar{\psi},\beta^{-}}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}e^{\mu\circ\nu}\right)\left(\alpha;p \right)\bigg]\nonumber\\ &\leq h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right){(\nu(\beta)-\nu(\alpha))}^\phi\left(e^{\mu(\nu(\alpha))}+e^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}\right)\left[ \left(\Upsilon_{\sigma,\phi,l,{\psi},1^{-}}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}h\right)(0;p)+\left(\Upsilon_{\sigma,\phi,l,{\psi},0^{+}}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}h\right)(1;p)\right], \end{align}
(21)
where \(\bar{\psi}=\frac{\psi}{(\nu(\beta)-\nu(\alpha))^{\sigma}}. \)

Remark 3.

  1. If we set \(h(\kappa)=\kappa\) in (16), then [33, Theorem 8] is obtained.
  2. If we set \(h(\kappa)=\kappa\) and \(m=1\) in (16), then [33, Corollary 1] is obtained.
  3. If we set \(\nu(u)=u\) and \(h(\kappa)=\kappa\) in (16), then [34, Theorem 2.1] is obtained.
  4. If we set \(\nu(u)=u\), \(h(\kappa)=\kappa\) and \(m=1\) in (16), then [34, Corollary 2.2] is obtained.
  5. If we set \(\nu(u)=u\) in (16), then [26, Theorem 2.1] is obtained.

In the following we give another version of the Hadamard inequality for generalized fractional integral operators via exponentially \((h,m)\)-convex functions.

Theorem 13. Let \(\mu,\nu: [\alpha,m\beta]\subset[0,\infty)\to\mathbb{R}\), \(0< \alpha< m\beta\) be two functions such that \(\mu\) be integrable and \(\nu\) be differentiable. If \(\mu\) be exponentially \((h,m)\)-convex and \(\nu\) be strictly increasing. Then for generalized fractional integral operators, the following inequalities hold:

\begin{align}\label{lmo} &\notag{e^{\mu\left( \frac{\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)}}_{\nu}\xi^{\phi}_{\bar{\psi}2^\sigma,\left(\nu^{-1}\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)\right) ^{+}}(\nu^{-1}(m\nu(\beta));p)\\\nonumber &\leq h\!\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\! \left[\left(_{\nu}\Upsilon^{\varsigma,r,q,c}_{\sigma,\phi,l,\bar{\psi}2^\sigma,\left(\nu^{-1}\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)\right) ^{+}}e^{\mu\circ\nu}\right)(\nu^{-1}(m\nu(\beta));p)\right.\\&\nonumber\;\;\;\left.+m^{\phi+1} \left(_{\nu}\Upsilon^{\varsigma,r,q,c}_{\sigma,\phi,l,\bar{\psi}(2m)^\sigma,\left(\nu^{-1}\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)}{2m}\right)\right) ^{-}}e^{\mu\circ\nu}\right)\left(\nu^{-1}\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right);p \right)\right] \\&\nonumber\leq\!h\!\left(\!\frac{1}{2}\!\right)\!\! \frac{(m\nu(\beta)-\nu(\alpha))^\phi}{2^{\phi}}\!\!\left[\!\left(\!e^{\mu(\nu(\alpha))}+me^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}\!\right)\!\!\int_{0}^{1}\!\!\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)h\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\right)\!d\kappa\right.\\&\;\;\;\left.+m\!\left(\!e^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}+me^{\mu\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m^2}\!\right)}\right)\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)h\left(\frac{2-\kappa}{2}\right)d\kappa\right], \end{align}
(22)
where \(\bar{\psi}\) is same as in (16).

Proof. By the exponentially \((h,m)\)-convexity of \(\mu\), we have

\begin{align}\label{d} {e^{\mu\left( \frac{\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)}} \leq h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\left[{e^{\mu\left( \frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\alpha)+m\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\nu(\beta)\right)}}+m {e^{\mu\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right)}}\right]. \end{align}
(23)
Multiplying (23) with \(\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)\) and integrating over \([0,1]\), we have
\begin{align}\label{w} &{e^{\mu\left( \frac{\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)}}\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)d\kappa \nonumber\\ &\leq h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \bigg[\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p){e^{\mu\left( \frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\alpha)+m\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\nu(\beta)\right)}}d\kappa+m\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p) {e^{\mu\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right)}}d\kappa\bigg]. \end{align}
(24)
Setting \(\nu(u)=\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\alpha)+m\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\nu(\beta)\) and \(\nu(v)=\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\) in (24), then by using (12), (13) and (14), the first inequality of (22) is obtained. Again from exponentially \((h,m)\)-convexity of \(\mu\), we have
\begin{align}\label{e} &e^{\mu\left( \frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\alpha)+m\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\nu(\beta)\right)} +me^{\mu\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right)} \\\nonumber &\leq h\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\right)\left(e^{\mu(\nu(\alpha))}+me^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}\right)+mh\left(\frac{2-\kappa}{2}\right)\left(e^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}+me^{\mu\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m^2}\right)}\right)\nonumber. \end{align}

Multiplying (25) with \(h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)\) and integrating over \([0,1]\), we have
\begin{align}\label{x} &h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\bigg[\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)e^{\mu\left( \frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\alpha)+m\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\nu(\beta)\right)}d\kappa+m\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)e^{\mu\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right)}d\kappa\nonumber\bigg]\\&\nonumber\leq h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \bigg[ \left(e^{\mu(\nu(\alpha))}+me^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}\right)\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)h\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\right)d\kappa\nonumber\\&\;\;\;+m\left(e^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}+me^{\mu\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m^2}\right)}\right) \int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)h\left(\frac{2-\kappa}{2}\right)d\kappa\bigg]. \end{align}
(26)
Putting \(\nu(u)=\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\alpha)+m\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\nu(\beta)\) and \(\nu(v)=\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\) in (26), then by using (12) and (13), the second inequality of (22) is obtained.

Corollary 2. Setting \(m=1\) in (22), the following inequalities for exponentially \(h\)-convex function can be obtained:

\begin{align}\label{lmo*} &\nonumber2{e^{\mu\left( \frac{\nu(\alpha)+\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)}}_{\nu}\xi^{\phi}_{\bar{\psi}2^\sigma,\left(\nu^{-1}\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)+\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)\right) ^{+}}(\beta;p)\\\nonumber &\leq h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \left[\left(_{\nu}\Upsilon^{\varsigma,r,q,c}_{\sigma,\phi,l,\bar{\psi}2^\sigma,\left(\nu^{-1}\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)+\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)\right) ^{+}}e^{\mu\circ\nu}\right)(\beta;p)\right.\left.+ \left(_{\nu}\Upsilon^{\varsigma,r,q,c}_{\sigma,\phi,l,\bar{\psi}2^\sigma,\left(\nu^{-1}\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)+\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)\right) ^{-}}e^{\mu\circ\nu}\right)(\alpha;p)\right]\\ &\leq h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \frac{(\nu(\beta)-\nu(\alpha))^\phi}{2^{\phi}}\left(\!e^{\mu(\nu(\alpha))}+e^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}\right)\!\left[\!\int_{0}^{1}\!\!\!\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)h\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\right)\!d\kappa\!+\!\!\!\int_{0}^{1}\!\!\!\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)h\left(\!\frac{2-\kappa}{2}\!\right)\!d\kappa\right] \end{align}
(27)
where \(\bar{\psi}\) is same as in (21).

Remark 4.

  1. If we set \(h(\kappa)=\kappa\) in (22), then [33, Theorem 9] is obtained.
  2. If we set \(h(\kappa)=\kappa\) and \(m=1\) in (22), then [33, Corollary 2] is obtained.
  3. If we set \(\nu(u)=u\) and \(h(\kappa)=\kappa\) in (22), then [34, Theorem 2.4] is obtained.

3.Fractional Fejér-Hadamard Inequalities for exponentially \((h,m)\)-convex functions

In this section, we will give two versions of the generalized fractional Fejér-Hadamard inequality. To establish these inequalities exponentially \((h,m)\)-convexity and generalized fractional integrals operators have been used.

Theorem 14. Let \(\mu,\nu: [\alpha,m\beta]\subset[0,\infty)\to\mathbb{R}\), \(0< \alpha< m\beta\) be two functions such that \(\mu\) be integrable and \(\nu\) be differentiable. If \(\mu\) be exponentially \((h,m)\)-convex and \(\mu(\nu(v))=\mu(\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)-m\nu(v))\) and \(\nu\) be strictly increasing. Also, let \(\gamma : [\alpha,m\beta]\to\mathbb{R}\) be a function which is non-negative and integrable. Then for generalized fractional integral operators, the following inequalities hold:

\begin{align}\label{yy} &\notag {e^{\mu\left( \frac{\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)}} \left(_{\nu}\Upsilon^{\varsigma,r,q,c}_{\sigma,\phi,l,\bar{\psi}m^\sigma,\beta^{-}}e^{\gamma\circ\nu}\right)\left(\nu^{-1}\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right);p\right) \leq {h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)(1+m)\left(_{\nu}\Upsilon^{\varsigma,r,q,c}_{\sigma,\phi,l,\bar{\psi}m^\sigma,\beta^{-}}e^{\mu\circ\nu}e^{\gamma\circ\nu}\right)\left(\nu^{-1}\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right);p\right)}\\\nonumber &\leq h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \frac{(m\nu(\beta)-\nu(\alpha))^\phi}{m^\phi}\bigg[\left(e^{\mu(\nu(\alpha))}+me^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}\right)\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)e^{\gamma( (1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta))}h\left(\kappa\right)d\kappa\\ &\;\;\;+\!m\!\left(\!e^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}\!+\!me^{\mu\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m^2}\right)}\!\right) \!\!\int_{0}^{1}\!\!\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)e^{\gamma( (1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta))}h\left(1-\kappa\right)\!d\kappa\bigg],\, \end{align}
(28)
where \(\bar{\psi}\) is same as in (16).

Proof. Multiplying (17) with \(\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)e^{\gamma( (1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta))}\) and integrating over \([0,1]\), we have

\begin{align}\label{z} &\notag{e^{\mu\left( \frac{\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)}}\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)e^{\gamma( (1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta))} d\kappa\\\nonumber & \leq h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \bigg[\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p){e^{{\mu(\kappa\nu(\alpha)+m(1-\kappa)\nu(\beta))}}}e^{\gamma( (1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta))} d\kappa\\ &\;\;\;+m\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p){e^{{\mu((1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta))}}}e^{\gamma( (1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta))}d\kappa\bigg]. \end{align}
(29)
Setting \(\nu(v)=(1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta)\) in (29), then by using (13) and assumption \(\mu(\nu(v))=\mu(\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)-m\nu(v))\), the first inequality of (28) is obtained. Now multiplying (19) with \(h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)e^{\gamma( (1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta))}\) and integrating over \([0,1]\), we have
\begin{align}\label{23} &\notag h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\bigg[\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)e^{{\mu(\kappa\nu(\alpha)+m(1-\kappa)\nu(\beta))}}e^{\gamma( (1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta))} d\kappa\\ \nonumber&\;\;\;+m\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)e^{{\mu((1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta))}}e^{\gamma( (1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta))}d\kappa\bigg]\\&\nonumber\leq\! h\!\left(\!\frac{1}{2}\!\right) \!\!\bigg[\!\!\left(\!e^{\mu(\nu(\alpha))}+me^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}\!\right)\!\!\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)e^{\gamma( (1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta))}h\left(\kappa\right)d\kappa\\ &\;\;\;+\!m\!\left(\!e^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}\!+\!me^{\mu\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m^2}\right)}\!\right) \!\!\int_{0}^{1}\!\!\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)e^{\gamma( (1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta))}h\left(1-\kappa\right)\!d\kappa\bigg]. \end{align}
(30)
Setting \(\nu(v)=(1-\kappa)\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}+\kappa\nu(\beta)\) in (30), then by using (13) and assumption \(\mu(\nu(v))=\mu(\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)-m\nu(v))\), the second inequality of (28) is obtained.

Corollary 3. Setting \(m=1\) in (28), the following inequalities for exponentially \(h\)-convex function can be obtained:

\begin{align}\label{yy**} &\notag{e^{\mu\left( \frac{\nu(\alpha)+\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)}} \left(_{\nu}\Upsilon^{\varsigma,r,q,c}_{\sigma,\phi,l,\bar{\psi},\beta^{-}}e^{\gamma\circ\nu}\right)\left(\alpha;p\right) \leq {2 h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(_{\nu}\Upsilon^{\varsigma,r,q,c}_{\sigma,\phi,l,\bar{\psi},\beta^{-}}e^{\mu\circ\nu}e^{\gamma\circ\nu}\right)\left(\alpha;p\right)}\\\nonumber &\leq h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) {(\nu(\beta)-\nu(\alpha))^\phi}\left(e^{\mu(\nu(\alpha))}+e^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}\right)\bigg[\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)e^{\gamma( (1-\kappa){\nu(\alpha)}+\kappa\nu(\beta))}h\left(\kappa\right)d\kappa\\ &\;\;\;+ \int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)e^{\gamma( (1-\kappa){\nu(\alpha)}+\kappa\nu(\beta))}h\left(1-\kappa\right)d\kappa\bigg], \end{align}
(31)
where \(\bar{\psi}\) is same as in (21).

Remark 5.

  1. If we set \(h(\kappa)=\kappa\) in (28), then [33, Theorem 10] is obtained.
  2. If we set \(h(\kappa)=\kappa\) and \(m=1\) in (28), then [33, Corollary 3] is obtained.
  3. If we set \(\nu(u)=u\) and \(h(\kappa)=\kappa\) in (28), then [34, Theorem 2.7] is obtained.
  4. If we set \(\nu(u)=u\), \(h(\kappa)=\kappa\) and \(m=1\) in (28), then [34, Corollary 2.8] is obtained.
  5. If we set \(\nu(u)=u\) in (28), then [26, Theorem 2.3] is obtained.

In the following we give another generalized fractional version of the Fejér-Hadamard inequality.

Theorem 15. Let \(\mu,\nu: [\alpha,m\beta]\subset[0,\infty)\to\mathbb{R}\), \(0< \alpha< m\beta\) be two functions such that \(\mu\) be integrable and \(\nu\) be differentiable. If \(\mu\) be exponentially \((h,m)\)-convex and \(\mu(\nu(v))=\mu(\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)-m\nu(v))\) and \(\nu\) be strictly increasing. Also, let \(\gamma : [\alpha,m\beta]\to\mathbb{R}\) be a function which is non-negative and integrable. Then for generalized fractional integral operators, the following inequalities hold:

\begin{align}\label{yy*} &\notag{e^{\mu\left( \frac{\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)}} \!\!\left(\!_{\nu}\Upsilon^{\varsigma,r,q,c}_{\sigma,\phi,l,\bar{\psi}(2m)^\sigma,\left(\nu^{-1}\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)}{2m}\right)\right) ^{-}}e^{\gamma\circ\nu}\!\right)\!\left(\!\nu^{-1}\!\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\!\right);p\!\right) \\&\nonumber\leq \!h\!\left(\!\frac{1}{2}\!\right) {\!(1\!+\!m)\!\!\left(\!\!_{\nu}\Upsilon^{\varsigma,r,q,c}_{\sigma,\phi,l,\bar{\psi}(2m)^\sigma,\left(\nu^{-1}\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)}{2m}\right)\right) ^{-}}e^{\mu\circ\nu}e^{\gamma\circ\nu}\!\!\right)\!\!\left(\!\!\nu^{-1}\!\left(\!\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right);p\!\right)}\\\nonumber &\leq h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \frac{(m\nu(\beta)-\nu(\alpha))^\phi}{(2m)^\phi}\bigg[\left(e^{\mu(\nu(\alpha))}+me^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}\right)\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p) {e^{\gamma\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right)}}h\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\right)d\kappa\\ &\;\;\;+\!m\!\!\left(\!e^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}\!+\!me^{\mu\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m^2}\!\right)}\right)\!\!\!\int_{0}^{1}\!\!\!\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p) {e^{\gamma\left(\!\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\!\right)}}h\!\left(\!\frac{2\!-\!\kappa}{2}\!\right)\!d\kappa\bigg], \end{align}
(32)
where \(\bar{\psi}\) is same as in (16).

Proof. Multiplying (23) with \(\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p) {e^{\gamma\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right)}}\) and integrating over \([0,1]\), we have

\begin{align}\label{z*} &\notag{e^{\mu\left( \frac{\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)}}\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p) {e^{\gamma\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right)}} d\kappa\\\nonumber & \leq h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \bigg[\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p){e^{\mu\left( \frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\alpha)+m\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\nu(\beta)\right)}} {e^{\gamma\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right)}} d\kappa\\ &\;\;\;+m\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p) {e^{\mu\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right)}} {e^{\gamma\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right)}}d\kappa\bigg]. \end{align}
(33)
Setting \(\nu(v)=\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\) in 33), then by using (13) and assumption \(\mu(\nu(v))=\mu(\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)-m\nu(v))\), the first inequality of (32) is obtained. Now multiplying (25) with \(h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p) {e^{\gamma\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right)}}\) and integrating over \([0,1]\), we have
\begin{align}\label{24} &\notag h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\bigg[\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)e^{\mu\left( \frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\alpha)+m\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\nu(\beta)\right)} {e^{\gamma\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right)}} d\kappa\\ \nonumber&+m\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p)e^{\mu\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right)} {e^{\gamma\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right)}}d\kappa\bigg]\\&\nonumber\leq\! h\!\left(\!\frac{1}{2}\!\right)\!\! \bigg[\!\!\left(\!e^{\mu(\nu(\alpha))}\!+\!me^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}\!\right)\!\!\int_{0}^{1}\!\!\!\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p) {e^{\gamma\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\right)}}h\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\right)\!d\kappa\\ &\;\;\;+\!m\!\!\left(\!e^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}\!+\!me^{\mu\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m^2}\!\right)}\right)\!\!\!\int_{0}^{1}\!\!\!\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p) {e^{\gamma\left(\!\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\!\right)}}h\!\left(\!\frac{2\!-\!\kappa}{2}\!\right)\!d\kappa\bigg]. \end{align}
(34)
Setting \(\nu(v)=\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}\frac{\nu(\alpha)}{m}\) in (34), then by using (13) and assumption \(\mu(\nu(v))=\mu(\nu(\alpha)+m\nu(\beta)-m\nu(v))\), the second inequality of (32) is obtained.

Corollary 4. Setting \(m=1\) in (32), the following inequalities for exponentially \(h\)-convex function can be obtained:

\begin{align}\label{yy***} &\notag{e^{\mu\left( \frac{\nu(\alpha)+\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)}} \left(_{\nu}\Upsilon^{\varsigma,r,q,c}_{\sigma,\phi,l,\bar{\psi}2^\sigma,\left(\nu^{-1}\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)+\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)\right) ^{-}}e^{\gamma\circ\nu}\right)\left(\alpha;p\right)\leq 2h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) {\left(_{\nu}\Upsilon^{\varsigma,r,q,c}_{\sigma,\phi,l,\bar{\psi}2^\sigma,\left(\nu^{-1}\left(\frac{\nu(\alpha)+\nu(\beta)}{2}\right)\right) ^{-}}e^{\mu\circ\nu}e^{\gamma\circ\nu}\right)\left(\alpha;p\right)}\\\nonumber &\leq h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \frac{(\nu(\beta)-\nu(\alpha))^\phi}{2^\phi}\left(e^{\mu(\nu(\alpha))}+e^{\mu(\nu(\beta))}\right)\bigg[\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p) {e^{\gamma\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}{\nu(\alpha)}\right)}}h\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\right)d\kappa\\ &\;\;\;+\int_{0}^{1}\kappa^{\phi-1}E_{\sigma,\phi,l}^{\varsigma,r,q,c}(\psi \kappa^{\sigma};p) {e^{\gamma\left(\frac{\kappa}{2}\nu(\beta)+\frac{(2-\kappa)}{2}{\nu(\alpha)}\right)}}h\left(\frac{2-\kappa}{2}\right)d\kappa\bigg], \end{align}
(35)
where \(\bar{\psi}\) is same as in (21).

Remark 6.

  1. If we set \(h(\kappa)=\kappa\) in (32), then [33, Theorem 11] is obtained.
  2. If we set \(h(\kappa)=\kappa\) and \(m=1\) in (32), then [33, Corollary 4] is obtained.

Remark 7. By setting \(h(\kappa)=\kappa^s\) and \(m=1\) in Theorems 12, 13, 14 and 15, the Hadamard and the Fejér-Hadamard inequalities for exponentially \(s\)-convex functions can be obtained. We leave it for interested reader.

4.Concluding remarks

In this article, we established the Hadamard and the Fejér-Hadamard inequalities. To established these inequalities generalized fractional integral operators and exponentially \((h,m)\)-convexity have been used. The presented results hold for various kind of exponentially convexity and well known fractional integral operators given in Remarks 1 and 2. Moreover, the established results have connection with already published results.
