Abstract

The study of integral operators has always been important in the subjects of mathematics, physics, and in diverse areas of applied sciences. It has been challenging to discover and formulate new types of integral operators. The aim of this paper is to study and formulate an integral operator of a general nature. Under some suitable conditions the existence of a new integral operator is established. The boundedness of left and right sided integral operators is obtained and further boundedness of their sum is given. The investigated integral operators derive several known integrals and have interesting consequences for fractional calculus integral operators and conformable integrals. The presented results provide the boundedness of various fractional and conformable integral operators simultaneously.

Keywords: Integral operators, fractional integral operators, conformable integral operators, bounds.

1. Introduction

The findings of this research are linked with integral operators in fractional calculus and conformable integrals, therefore we would like to give almost all related classical fractional integrals and conformable integral operators defined in recent decades. The well known Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals are defined as follows:

Definition 1. Let \(f \in L_1[a,b]\). Then Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operators of order \(\mu>0\) are defined as follows:

\begin{equation}\label{1.1} ^{\mu}I_{a^+}f(x)=\frac{1}{\Gamma(\mu)}\int^{x}_{a}{(x-t)^{{\mu}-1}}f(t)dt , \;\; x>a \end{equation}
(1)
and
\begin{equation} ^{\mu}I_{b^-}f(x)=\frac{1}{\Gamma(\mu)}\int^{b}_{x}{(t-x)^{{\mu}-1}}f(t)dt ,\;\; x< b. \end{equation}
(2)

\(k\)-fractional analogues of Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operators are given by Mubeen and Habibullah [1].

Definition 2. Let \(f \in L_1[a,b]\). Then the \(k\)-fractional integrals of order \(\mu, k>0\) are defined as follows:

\begin{equation} ^{\mu}I^{k}_{a^+}f(x)=\frac{1}{k\Gamma_{k}(\mu)}\int^{x}_{a}{(x-t)^{\frac{\mu}{k}-1}}f(t)dt , \;\; x>a \end{equation}
(3)
and
\begin{equation}\label{1.4} ^{\mu}I^{k}_{b^-}f(x)=\frac{1}{k\Gamma_{k}(\mu)}\int^{b}_{x}{(t-x)^{\frac{\mu}{k}-1}}f(t)dt , \;\; x< b. \end{equation}
(4)

A more general definition of the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operators is given as follows [2]:

Definition 3. Let \(f:[a,b]\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\) be a integrable function. Also let \(g\) be an increasing and positive function on \((a, b]\), having a continuous derivative \(g^{\prime}\) on \((a,b)\). The left-sided and right-sided fractional integrals of a function \(f\) with respect to another function \(g\) on \([a, b]\) of order \({\mu}>0\) are defined as:

\begin{equation}\label{1.5} _{g}^{\mu}I_{a^+}f(x)=\frac{1}{\Gamma({\mu})}\int_{a}^{x}(g(x)-g(t))^{{\mu}-1}g'(t)f(t)dt,\;\; x>a \end{equation}
(5)
and
\begin{equation}\label{1.6} _{g}^{\mu}I_{b^-}f(x)=\frac{1}{\Gamma({\mu})}\int_{x}^{b}(g(t)-g(x))^{{\mu}-1}g'(t)f(t)dt,\;\; x< b, \end{equation}
(6)
where \(\Gamma(.)\) is the Gamma function.

A \(k\)-fractional analogue of above definition is given by Kwun et al. In 2018 [3].

Definition Let \(f:[a,b]\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\) be a integrable function. Also let \(g\) be an increasing and positive function on \((a, b]\), having a continuous derivative \(g^{\prime}\) on \((a,b)\). The left-sided and right-sided fractional integrals of a function \(f\) with respect to another function \(g\) on \([a, b]\) of order \({\mu},k>0\) are defined as:

\begin{equation}\label{235} ^{\mu}_{g}I^{k}_{a^+}f(x)=\frac{1}{k\Gamma_k({\mu})}\int_{a}^{x}(g(x)-g(t))^{\frac{\mu}{k}-1}g'(t)f(t)dt,\;\; x>a \end{equation}
(7)
and
\begin{equation}\label{236} ^{\mu}_{g}I^{k}_{b^-}f(x)=\frac{1}{k\Gamma_k({\mu})}\int_{x}^{b}(g(t)-g(x))^{\frac{\mu}{k}-1}g'(t)f(t)dt,\;\; x< b, \end{equation}
(8)
where \(\Gamma_{k}(.)\) is the \(k\)-gamma function.

A detail study of fractional and conformable integral operators which are investigated in recent years is summarized in the following remark:

Remark 1. Fractional integrals elaborated in (7) and (8) particularly produce several known fractional integrals corresponding to different settings of \(k\) and \(g\).

  1. For \(k=1\) (7) and (8) fractional integrals coincide with (5}) and (6).
  2. For taking \(g\) as identity function (7) and (8) fractional integrals coincide with (3) and (4).
  3. For \(k = 1\), along with \(g\) as identity function (7) and (8) fractional integrals coincide with (1) and (2).
  4. For \(k = 1\) and \(g(x)=\frac{x^\rho}{\rho}\), \(\rho>0\), (7) and (8) produce Katugampola fractional integrals defined by Chen and Katugampola in 2017 [4].
  5. For \(k = 1\) and \(g(x)=\frac{x^{\tau+s}}{\tau+s}\) , (7) and (8) produce generalized conformable fractional integrals defined by Khan and Khan in 2019 [5].
  6. If we take \(g(x)=\frac{(x-a)^s}{s}\), \(s>0\) in (7) and \(g(x)=-\frac{(b-x)^s}{s}\), \(s>0\) in (8), then conformable \((k,s)\)-fractional integrals are achieved as defined by Habib et al. in 2018 [6].
  7. If we take \(g(x)=\frac{x^{1+s}}{1+s}\), then conformable fractional integrals are achieved as defined by Sarikaya et al. in 2016 [7].
  8. If we take \(g(x)=\frac{(x-a)^s}{s}\), \(s>0\) in (7) and \(g(x)=-\frac{(b-x)^s}{s}\), \(s>0\) in (8) with \(k=1\), then conformable fractional integrals are achieved as defined by Jarad et al. in 2017 [8].

In the upcoming section a generalized integral operator is constructed under suitable conditions on the utilized functions. Its two sided forms are investigated and it is shown that they are bounded. Furthermore, a new definition of integral operators has been presented. From the new definition it is shown that by proposing particular functions, Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals and all their generalizations can be achieved. Also bounds of all fractional and conformable integral operators presented in Remark 1 are deduced.

2. Results and discussion

Theorem 5. Let \(f,\phi:[a,b]\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}\), \(0< a< b\), be positive and integrable functions. Let \(g:[a,b]\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}\) be a differentiable and increasing function. If \(\frac{\phi}{x}\) is increasing on \([a,b]\), then for \(x\in[a,b]\) we have \begin{equation*} \left|\int_{a}^{x}\dfrac{\phi(g(x)-g(t))}{g(x)-g(t)}g'(t)f(t)dt\right|\leq\phi(g(b)-g(a))||f||_{[a,x]} \end{equation*} and \begin{equation*} \left|\int_{x}^{b}\dfrac{\phi(g(t)-g(x))}{g(t)-g(x)}g'(t)f(t)dt\right|\leq\phi(g(b)-g(a))||f||_{[x,b]}. \end{equation*} Hence

\begin{align}\label{1} \left|\int_{a}^{x}\dfrac{\phi(g(x)-g(t))}{g(x)-g(t)}g'(t)f(t)dt+\int_{x}^{b}\dfrac{\phi(g(t)-g(x))}{g(t)-g(x)}g'(t)f(t)dt\right|\leq 2\phi(g(b)-g(a))||f||_{[a,b]}. \end{align}
(9)

Proof. As \(g\) is increasing, therefore for \(t\in[a,x);\,x\in[a,b]\), \(g(x)-g(t)\leq g(x)-g(a)\). The function \(\frac{\phi}{x}\) is increasing, therefore one can obtain:

\begin{equation}\label{3} \dfrac{\phi(g(x)-g(t))}{g(x)-g(t)}\leq\dfrac{\phi(g(x)-g(a))}{g(x)-g(a)}. \end{equation}
(10)
It is given that \(f\) is positive and \(g\) is differentiable and increasing. Therefore from (10), the following inequality is valid:
\begin{equation}\label{3*} \dfrac{\phi(g(x)-g(t))}{g(x)-g(t)}g'(t)f(t)\leq\dfrac{\phi(g(x)-g(a))}{g(x)-g(a)}g'(t)f(t). \end{equation}
(11)
From which the following inequality can be obtained:
\begin{align}\label{4} \left|\int_{a}^{x}\dfrac{\phi(g(x)-g(t))}{g(x)-g(t)}g'(t)f(t)dt\right|\leq\phi(g(b)-g(a))||f||_{[a,x]}. \end{align}
(12)
Now on the other hand for \(t\in(x,b]\) and \(x\in[a,b]\), the following inequality holds true:
\begin{equation}\label{4*} \dfrac{\phi(g(t)-g(x))}{(g(t)-g(x))}g'(t)f(t)\leq\dfrac{\phi(g(b)-g(x))}{(g(b)-g(x))}g'(t)f(t). \end{equation}
(13)
Hence (13), produces the following inequality:
\begin{align}\label{5} \left|\int_{x}^{b}\dfrac{\phi(g(t)-g(x))}{(g(t)-g(x))}g'(t)f(t)dt\right|\leq\phi(g(b)-g(a))||f||_{[x,b]}. \end{align}
(14)
From (12) and (14), via triangular inequality (9) can be achieved.

Aforementioned theorem motivates to give the definition of a new two-sided integral operator as follows:

Definition 6. Let \(f,g:[a,b]\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}\), \(0< a< b\), be the functions such that \(f\) be positive and \(f\in L_{1}[a,b]\), and \(g\) be differentiable and increasing. Also let \(\phi\) be a positive function such that \(\frac{\phi}{x}\) is increasing on \([a,\infty)\). Then for \(x\in[a,b]\) the left and right integral operators are defined by

\begin{equation}\label{a} (F_{a^+}^{\phi,g}f)(x)=\int_{a}^{x}\dfrac{\phi(g(x)-g(t))}{g(x)-g(t)}g'(t)f(t)dt \end{equation}
(15)
and
\begin{equation}\label{b} (F_{b^-}^{\phi,g}f)(x)=\int_{x}^{b}\dfrac{\phi(g(t)-g(x))}{g(t)-g(x)}g'(t)f(t)dt. \end{equation}
(16)

Integral operators defined in (15) and (16) have connection with various fractional and conformable integral operators. This connection is shown in the following propositions and corollaries.

Proposition 7. Let \(\phi(t)=\frac{t^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)},\ \alpha>0\). Then (15) and (16) produce the fractional integral operators (5}) and (6), as follows:

\begin{equation} \left(F_{a^+}^{\frac{t^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)},g}f\right)(x):= {_{g}^{\alpha}I_{a^+}f(x)} \end{equation}
(17)
and
\begin{equation} \left(F_{b^-}^{\frac{t^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)},g}f\right)(x):={_{g}^{\alpha}I_{b^-}f(x)}. \end{equation}
(18)
Further these operators satisfy the following bound for \(\alpha\geq1\): \begin{equation} \left|{_{g}^{\alpha}I_{a^+}f(x)}+{_{g}^{\alpha}I_{b^-}f(x)}\right|\leq\frac{2(g(b)-g(a))^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)}||f||_{[a,b]}.\nonumber \end{equation}

Proposition 8. Let \(g(x)=I(x)=x\). Then (15) and (16) produce integral operators defined by Sarikaya and Ertugral [8] as follows:

\begin{equation} (F_{a^+}^{\phi,I}f)(x):=(_{a^+}I_{\phi}f)(x)=\int_{a}^{x}\dfrac{\phi(x-t)}{(x-t)}f(t)dt \end{equation}
(19)
and
\begin{equation} (F_{b^-}^{\phi,I}f)(x):=(_{b^-}I_{\phi}f)(x)=\int_{x}^{b}\dfrac{\phi(t-x)}{(t-x)}f(t)dt. \end{equation}
(20)
Further these operators satisfy the following bound: \begin{equation} \left|(_{a^+}I_{\phi}f)(x)+(_{b^-}I_{\phi}f)(x)\right|\leq2\phi(b-a)||f||_{[a,b]}.\nonumber \end{equation}

Moreover, the bounds of fractional and conformable integral operators associated with integral operators (15) and (16), are identified in the following corollaries:

Corollary 9. If we take \(\phi(t)=\frac{t^\frac{\alpha}{k}}{k\Gamma_k(\alpha)}\). Then (15) and (16) produce the fractional integral operators (7) and (8) as follows:

\begin{equation} \left(F_{a^+}^{\frac{t^\frac{\alpha}{k}}{k\Gamma_k(\alpha)},g}f\right)(x):= ^{\alpha}_{g}I^{k}_{a^+}f(x) \end{equation}
(21)
and
\begin{equation} \left(F_{b^-}^{\frac{t^\frac{\alpha}{k}}{k\Gamma_k(\alpha)},g}f\right)(x):= ^{\alpha}_{g}I^{k}_{b^-}f(x). \end{equation}
(22)
From (9) the following bound holds for \(\alpha\geq k\): \begin{equation} \left|^{\alpha}_{g}I^{k}_{a^+}f(x)+^{\alpha}_{g}I^{k}_{b^-}f(x)\right|\leq\frac{2(g(b)-g(a))^{\frac{\alpha}{k}}}{k\Gamma_k(\alpha)}||f||_{[a,b]}.\nonumber \end{equation}

Corollary 10. If we take \(\phi(t)=\frac{t^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)},\ \alpha>0\) and \(g(x)=I(x)=x\). Then (15) and (16) produce the fractional integral operators (1) and (2) as follows:

\begin{equation} \left(F_{a^+}^{\frac{t^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)},I}f\right)(x):= {^{\alpha}I_{a^+}f(x)} \end{equation}
(23)
and
\begin{equation} \left(F_{b^-}^{\frac{t^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)},I}f\right)(x):= {^{\alpha}I_{b^-}f(x)}. \end{equation}
(24)
From (9) the following bound holds for \(\alpha\geq 1\): \begin{equation} \left|{^{\alpha}I_{a^+}f(x)}+{^{\alpha}I_{b^-}f(x)}\right|\leq\frac{2(b-a)^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)}||f||_{[a,b]}.\nonumber \end{equation}

Corollary 11. If we take \(\phi(t)=\frac{t^\frac{\alpha}{k}}{k\Gamma_k(\alpha)}\) and \(g(x)=I(x)=x\). Then (15) and (16) produce the fractional integral operators (3) and (4) as follows: and

\begin{equation} \left(F_{b^-}^{\frac{t^\frac{\alpha}{k}}{k\Gamma_k(\alpha)},I}f\right)(x):={^{\alpha}I^{k}_{b^-}f(x)}. \end{equation}
(25)
From (9) the following bound holds for \(\alpha\geq k\): \begin{equation} \left|{^{\alpha}I^{k}_{a^+}f(x)}+{^{\alpha}I^{k}_{b^-}f(x)}\right|\leq\frac{2(b-a)^\frac{\alpha}{k}}{k\Gamma_k(\alpha)}||f||_{[a,b]}.\nonumber \end{equation}

Corollary 12. If we take \(\phi(t)=\frac{t^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)},\ \alpha>0\) and \(g(x)=\frac{x^\rho}{\rho},\ \rho>0\). Then (15) and (16) produce the fractional integral operators defined by Chen and Katugampola [4] as follows:

\begin{equation} \left(F_{a^+}^{\frac{t^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)},g}f\right)(x)=(^\rho I^{\alpha}_{a^+}f)(x)=\frac{\rho^{1-\alpha}}{\Gamma({\alpha})}\int_{a}^{x}(x^\rho-t^\rho)^{{\alpha}-1}t^{\rho-1}f(t)dt \end{equation}
(26)
and
\begin{equation} \left(F_{b^-}^{\frac{t^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)},g}f\right)(x)=(^\rho I^{\alpha}_{b^-}f)(x)=\frac{\rho^{1-\alpha}}{\Gamma({\alpha})}\int_{x}^{b}(t^\rho-x^\rho)^{{\alpha}-1}t^{\rho-1}f(t)dt. \end{equation}
(27)
From (9), these operators satisfy the following bounds: \begin{equation} \left|(^\rho I^{\alpha}_{a^+}f)(x)+(^\rho I^{\alpha}_{b^-}f)(x)\right|\leq\frac{2(b^\rho-a^\rho)^\alpha}{\rho^\alpha\Gamma(\alpha)}||f||_{[a,b]}.\nonumber \end{equation}

Corollary 13. If we take \(\phi(t)=\frac{t^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)},\ \alpha>0\) and \(g(x)=\frac{x^{s+1}}{s+1},\ s>0\). Then (15) and (16) produce the fractional integral operators as follows:

\begin{equation} \left(F_{a^+}^{\frac{t^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)},g}f\right)(x)=(^s I^{\alpha}_{a^+}f)(x)=\frac{(s+1)^{1-\alpha}}{\Gamma({\alpha})}\int_{a}^{x}(x^{s+1}-t^{s+1})^{{\alpha}-1}t^{s}f(t)dt \end{equation}
(28)
and
\begin{equation} \left(F_{b^-}^{\frac{t^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)},g}f\right)(x)=(^s I^{\alpha}_{b^-}f)(x)=\frac{(s+1)^{1-\alpha}}{\Gamma({\alpha})}\int_{x}^{b}(t^{s+1}-x^{s+1})^{{\alpha}-1}t^{s}f(t)dt. \end{equation}
(29)
From (9), these operators satisfy the following bound: \begin{equation} \left|(^s I^{\alpha}_{a^+}f)(x)+(^s I^{\alpha}_{b^-}f)(x)\right|\leq\frac{2(b^{s+1}-a^{s+1})^\alpha}{(s+1)^\alpha\Gamma(\alpha)}||f||_{[a,b]}.\nonumber \end{equation}

Corollary 14. If we take \(\phi(t)=\frac{t^\frac{\alpha}{k}}{k\Gamma_k(\alpha)},\ \alpha>k\) and \(g(x)=\frac{x^{s+1}}{s+1},\ s>0\). Then (15) and (16) produce the fractional integral operators defined by Sarikaya et al. [7] as follows:

(30)
and
\begin{equation} \left(F_{b^-}^{\frac{t^\frac{\alpha}{k}}{k\Gamma_k(\alpha)},g}f\right)(x)=(^s _kI^{\alpha}_{b^-}f)(x)=\frac{(s+1)^{1-\frac{\alpha}{k}}}{k\Gamma_k({\alpha})}\int_{x}^{b}(t^{s+1}-x^{s+1})^{\frac{\alpha}{k}-1}t^{s}f(t)dt. \end{equation}
(31)
From (9), these operators satisfy the following bound: \begin{equation} \left|(^s _kI^{\alpha}_{a^+}f)(x)+(^s _kI^{\alpha}_{b^-}f)(x)\right|\leq\frac{2(b^{s+1}-a^{s+1})^\frac{\alpha}{k}}{(s+1)^\frac{\alpha}{k}k\Gamma_k(\alpha)}||f||_{[a,b]}.\nonumber \end{equation}

Corollary 15. If we take \(\phi(t)=\frac{t^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)},\ \alpha>0\) and \(g(x)=\frac{x^{\beta+s}}{\beta+s},\ \beta,s>0\). Then (15) and (16) produce the fractional integral operators defined by Khan and Khan [5] as follows:

\begin{equation} \left(F_{a^+}^{\frac{t^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)},g}f\right)(x)=(^s _\beta I^{\alpha}_{a^+}f)(x)=\frac{(\beta+s)^{1-\alpha}}{\Gamma({\alpha})}\int_{a}^{x}(x^{\beta+s}-t^{\beta+s})^{{\alpha}-1}t^{s}f(t)d_{\beta}t \end{equation}
(32)
and

(33)
From (9), these operators satisfy the following bound: \begin{equation} \left|(^s _\beta I^{\alpha}_{a^+}f)(x)+(^s _\beta I^{\alpha}_{b^-}f)(x)\right|\leq\frac{2(b^{\beta+s}-a^{\beta+s})^\alpha}{(\beta+s)^\alpha\Gamma(\alpha)}||f||_{[a,b]}.\nonumber \end{equation}

Corollary 16. If we take \(g(x)=\frac{(x-a)^\rho}{\rho},\ \rho>0\) in (15) and \(g(x)=\frac{-(b-x)^\rho}{\rho},\ \rho>0\) in (16) with \(\phi(t)=\frac{t^\alpha}{\Gamma(\alpha)},\ \alpha>0\). Then (15) and (16) produce the fractional integral operators defined by Jarad et al. [9] as follows:
