1. Introduction
Let

of real numbers and
with
, then
![]() | (1) |
This doubly inequality is known in the literature as Hermite-Hadamard integral inequality for convex mapping.We note that Hadamard’s inequality may be regarded as a refinement of the concept of convexity and it follows easily from Jensen’s inequality. For several recent results concerning the inequality (1) we refer the interested reader to [3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 18, 21, 22] and the references cited therein.
Definition 1.1 The function

In recent years several extentions and generalizations have been considered for classical convexity. A significant generalization of convex functions is that of invex functions introduced by Hanson in [8]. Weir and Mond [23] introduced the concept of preinvex functions and applied it to the establisment of the sufficient optimality conditions and duality in nonlinear programming. Pini [24] introduced the concept of prequasiinvex as a generalization of invex functions. Later, Mohan and Neogy [24] obtained some properties of generalized preinvex functions. Noor [13, 14, 15, 16] has established some Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for preinvex and log-preinvex functions. In recent papers Barani et al. in [2] presented some estimates of the right hand side of a Hermite-Hadamard type inequality in which some preinvex functions are involved.
In this paper we generalized the results in [2] and [19] for preinvex functions via fractional integrals. Now we recall some notions in invexity analysis which will be used throught the paper (see [1, 23] and references therein)
Let
and
where
is a nonempty set in
, be continuous functions.
Definition 1.7 The set
is said to be invex with respect to
, if for every
and

The invex set
is also called a
connected set. It is obvious that every convex set is invex with respect to
, but there exist invex sets which are not convex [1].
Definition 1.8 The function
on the invex set
is said to be preinvex with respect to
if
![]() |
The function
is said to be preconcave if and only if
is preinvex.
Mohan and Neogy [24] introduced condition C defined as follows
Condition C: Let 
be an invex subset with respect to
We say that the function
satisfies the condition C if for any
and any 
![]() | (6) |
Note that for every
and every
from condition C, we have
![]() |
we will use the condition in our main results.
In [16], Noor proved the Hermite-Hadamard inequality for the preinvex functions as follows:
Theorem 1.9 Let
be a preinvex function on the interval of real numbers
(the interior of K) and
with
. Then the following inequality holds:
![]() | (7) |
In [2] Barani, Gahazanfari, and Dragomir proved the following theorems:
Theorem 1.10 Let
be an open invex subset with respect to
Suppose that
is a differentiable function. If
is preinvex on
then, for every
with
the following inequalities holds
![]() | (8) |
Theorem 1.11 Let 
be an open invex subset with respect to
Suppose that
is a differentiable function. Assume that
with
If
is preinvex on
then, for every
with
the following inequalities holds
![]() | (9) |
2. Main Results
Throughout this section, Let
be an open invex subset. In this section, firstly we will establish Hermite- Hadamard’s inequalities for preinvex functions via fractional integrals. Secondly we will introduce some generalizations of the right side of a Hermite- Hadamard type inequalities for functions whose first derivatives absolute values are preinvex via fractional integrals.
Theorem 2.1 Let
be an open invex subset with respect to
and
with
If
is a preinvex function,
and
satisfies condition C then, the following inequalities for fractional integrals holds:
![]() | (10) |
with 
Proof. Since
and
is an invex set with respect to
, for every
, we have
By preinvexity of
, we have for every
with 
![]() |
i.e. with
from equality (6) we get
![]() | (11) |
Multiplying both sides (11) by
, then integrating the resulting inequality with respect to
over
we obtain
![]() |
i.e.
![]() |
and the fist inequality is proved.
For the proof of the second inequality in (11) we first note that if
is a preinvex function on
and the mapping
satisfies condition C then for every
from inequality (6) it yields
![]() | (12) |
and similarly
![]() |
By adding these inequalities we have
![]() | (13) |
Then multiplying both (13) by
and integrating the resulting inequality with respect to
over
we obtain
![]() |
i.e.
![]() |
Using the mapping
satisfies condition C the proof is completed.
Remark 2.2 a) If in Theorem 2.1, we let
, then inequality (10) become inequality (3) of Theorem 1.4.
b) If in Theorem 2.1, we let
, then inequality (10) become inequality (7) of Theorem 1.9.
Now we give the following lemma which is a generalization of Lemma 1.5 to invex setting.
Lemma 2.3 Let
be an open invex subset with respect to
and
with
If
is a differentiable function such that
then, the following equality holds:
![]() | (14) |
Proof. It suffices to note that
![]() | (15) |
integrating by parts
![]() | (16) |
and similarly we get,
![]() | (17) |
Using (16) and (17) in (15), it follows that
![]() |
Thus, by multiplying both sides by
, we have conclusion (14).
Remark 2.4 If in Lemma 2.3, we let
, then equality (14) become inequality (4) of Lemma 1.5.
Theorem 2.5 Let
be an open invex subset with respect to
and
with
. Suppose that
is a differentiable function such that
. If
is preinvex function on
then the following inequality for fractional integrals with
holds:
![]() | (18) |
Proof. Using lemma 2.3 and the preinvexity of
we get
![]() |
which completes the proof.
Remark 2.6 a) If in Theorem 2.5, we let
, then inequality (18) become inequality (5) of Theorem 1.6.
b) If in Theorem 2.5, we let
, then inequality (18) become inequality (8) of Theorem 1.10.
c) In Theorem 2.5, assume that
satisfies condition C and using inequality (12) for
we get
![]() |
Theorem 2.7 Let
be an open invex subset with respect to
and
with
such that
. Suppose that
is a differentiable function. If
is preinvex function on
for some fixed
then the following inequality holds:
![]() | (19) |
where
and 
Proof. From lemma2.3 and using Hölder inequality with properties of modulus, we have
![]() |
We know that for
and
,
![]() |
therefore
![]() |
Since
is preinvex on
we have inequality (19), which completes the proof.
Remark 2.8 a) If in Theorem 2.7, we let
and
then inequality (19) become inequality (9) of Theorem1.11.
b) In Theorem 2.7, assume that
satisfies condition C and using inequality (12) we get
![]() |
Theorem 2.9 Let
be an open invex subset with respect to
and
with
Suppose that
is a differentiable function such that
. If
is preinvex function on
for some fixed
then the following inequality holds:
![]() | (20) |
where
and 
Proof. From lemma2.3 and using Hölder inequality with properties of modulus, we have
![]() |
On the other hand, we have
![]() |
Since
is preinvex function on
, we obtain
![]() |
and
![]() |
from here we obtain inequality (20) which completes the proof.
Remark 2.10 a) If in Theorem2.9, we let
and
then inequality (20)become inequality (2) Theorem1.2.
b) In Theorem2.9, assume that
satisfies condition C, using inequality (12) we get
![]() |
