New generalized Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities and applications to special means
Journal of Inequalities and Applications volume 2013, Article number: 325 (2013)
Abstract
In this paper, Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities involving Hadamard fractional integrals for the functions satisfying monotonicity, convexity and s-e-condition are studied. Three classes of left-type Hadamard fractional integral identities including the first-order derivative are firstly established. Some interesting Hermite-Hadamard type integral inequalities involving Hadamard fractional integrals are also presented by using the established integral identities. Finally, some applications to special means of real numbers are given.

1 Preliminaries
Let be a convex function, then it is integrable in the sense of Riemann and
The above inequality is the so-called classical Hermite-Hadamard type inequality which provides lower and upper estimations for the integral average of any convex function defined on a compact interval, involving the midpoint and the endpoints of the domain. This interesting inequality was firstly discovered by Hermite in 1881 in the journal Mathesis (see Mitrinović and Lacković [1]). However, this beautiful result was nowhere mentioned in the mathematical literature and was not widely known as Hermite’s result (see Pec̆arić et al. [2]). For more recent results which generalize, improve and extend this classical Hermite-Hadamard inequality, one can see [3–13] and references therein.
Meanwhile, fractional integrals and derivatives provide an excellent tool for the description of memory and hereditary properties of various materials and processes. They are greatly applied in nonlinear oscillations of earthquakes, in many physical phenomena such as seepage flow in porous media and in a fluid-dynamic traffic model. For more recent development on fractional calculus, one can see the monographs [14–21].
Because of the wide application of Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities and fractional integrals, many researchers extend their studies to Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities involving fractional integrals not limited to integer integrals. Recently, more and more Hermite-Hadamard inequalities involving fractional integrals have been obtained for different classes of functions; see [22, 23] for nondecreasing functions and convex functions, [24, 25] for m-convex functions and -convex functions and the references therein.
It is remarkable that Wang et al. [23] adopted some idea in [22] to derive the following Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities involving Hadamard fractional integrals.
Theorem 1.1 (see Theorem 2.1, [23])
Letbe a positive function withand. Iffis a nondecreasing and convex function on, then the following inequality for fractional integrals holds:
We remark that the symbols denoting the left-sided and right-sided Hadamard fractional integrals of order of function are defined by
and
where is the gamma function.
Moreover, the following important right-type Hadamard fractional integral identities including the first-order derivative of f are also established.
Lemma 1.2 (see Lemma 3.1, [23])
Letbe a differentiable mapping onwith. If, then the following equality for fractional integrals holds:
In the sequence, some new Hermite-Hadamard type integral inequalities involving Hadamard fractional integrals are presented in [23].
However, other interesting left-type Hadamard fractional integral identities including the first-order derivative of f have not been reported. Thus, the first purpose of this paper is to find some possible presentation including the first-order derivative of f for the following equalities:
The second purpose of this paper is to establish some interesting Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities involving Hadamard fractional integrals for the functions satisfying monotonicity, convexity and s-e-condition by utilizing the left-type Hadamard fractional integral identities. In [26], Wang et al. introduced the concept of s-e-condition to overcome some essential difficulties from the singular kernels in Hadamard fractional integrals.
Definition 1.3 A function is said to satisfy s-e-condition if
for all , and for some fixed .
Remark 1.4 If is a nondecreasing and convex function, then f satisfies
for all , , which implies the s-e-condition above.
In the following, we recall the following two basic inequalities [27].
Lemma 1.5Forand, we have
Lemma 1.6For all, then for any, we have

From equalities (13) and (14), we obtain inequality (10). □
3 Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities involving Hadamard fractional integrals
