In the paper under consideration, we will discuss integral inequalities by the way of fractional integral operators for generalized convex functions. For fractional integral operators, a new identity is established and some results of Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities are achieved. This fractional operator have been used to derive a new generalization of the Hermite-Hadamard inequality. In the previous papers the author used the definition of k-fractional conformable integral inequalities and we used the definition of katugampola fractional integrals in this paper. In this paper, we have given a best appropriate definition for fractional integral operators.
The fractional integral inequalities theory performs an essential role in science such as mathematics, physics and engineering of the type of Hermite-Hadamard inequality is another well-known inequality for generalized convex functions. These inequalities indicate that if
is a convex function on the real numbers of boundaries
and
as
when
![]() | (1) |
is called Hermite-Hadamard inequality.
If

In the literature some extensions, generalization and variant can be found. For detail information, see 1, 2, 3 and 4 (and the references given in). The Riemann-Liouville integrals
and
of order

For 
This part includes basic definitions as well as certain outcomes that they would be used in present work which is in progress. The following is the standard definition of
-convex function.
Definition 1 7 Let
. If
a mapping
as follows, the set I is said to be a
-convex,
![]() | (6) |
for all
and 
Definition 2 7 It is said to be
-convex a real valued function g defined on
-convex set I if,
![]() | (7) |
The mapping g is called
-concave iff
is
-convex. It can be seen that each convex mapping (function) is
-convex but in general the converse does not hold. Generalized convexity and its application like h-convexity, η-convexity,
-convexity and others, are discuss in the following references 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. And recent few more results 11, 17 and further references there in.
Definition 3 8 The both sided Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of power
of g are represented by
![]() | (8) |
and
![]() | (9) |
here k is positive and
is called the k-gamma function is as follows,
![]() | (10) |
with the properties that
![]() |
Let
which is finite interval. Further both sided katugampola fractional integrals of order
which is positive of 
are as follows,
![]() | (11) |
and
![]() | (12) |
with
and if the integrals exist then
is positive.
Remark 1: The katugampola fractional integral operators are well-defined on

Definition 5 9 The generalized
-fractional conformable integral operations are respectively.
![]() | (13) |
and
![]() | (14) |
where 
Now we recall the Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities concerning the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral from 10 are as follow:
Theorem 21 10 It is assume that
is a positive mapping, here
with
and
when
Theorem 22 10 It is assume that
is a differentiable function on
where
such that
and
Then
![]() | (16) |
Let
is a filled subset of
and let 
Lemma 31 It is assume that
is a differentiable mapping where
as follows
and
and integral is of the type of katugampola fractional, then we have
![]() | (17) |

Proof Let
![]() | (18) |
![]() | (19) |
Now integrating
, we obtain
![]() | (20) |
![]() | (21) |
in similar way
![]() | (22) |
(21) and (22) together imply (17). This completes the proof.
Remark 2: when we have the integral of the type of
-fractional conformable in Lemma 31, we get Lemma 1 of 9.
Let
be such that
and
, if
is invex on [c, d], then for the integral operator of the type of katugampola fractional gives
![]() | (23) |
for 
Proof As
denote invex function on [c, d], we obtain
![]() | (24) |
Letting
and
gives
![]() | (25) |
Multiplying on both side of (25) by
and integrating with respect to z over [0,1] leads to
![]() | (26) |
![]() | (27) |
![]() | (28) |
![]() | (29) |
![]() | (30) |
From
![]() | (31) |
it follow that
![]() | (32) |
the above can be written as the left side of inequality (23) making use of the invexity, comes at
![]() | (33) |
and
![]() | (34) |
adding the above two inequalities yields
![]() | (35) |
Now integrating on both sides (35) with respect to
over [0,1], and interchanging the parameters in the second integration on the right side, we get
![]() | (36) |
the above can be rewritten as the right hand side of inequality (23). This completes the result in theorem 32.
Remark 3: By utilizing the definition of
-fractional conformable in Theorem 32, Gives Theorem 3 of 9.
Theorem 33 Let
be a differentiable mapping as follows and
and
. if
is invex on [c, d], then for the integral operator of the type of katugampola fractional gives
![]() | (37) |
for 
Proof By lemma 31 and in the invexity of
, we have
![]() |
![]() | (38) |
![]() | (39) |
![]() | (40) |
![]() | (41) |
changing variable by
and
results in
![]() | (42) |
![]() | (43) |
![]() | (44) |
![]() | (45) |
substituting the equalities (42), (43), (44) and (45) into the equality (41) leads to (37). This completes the result in theorem 33.
Remark 4: By utilizing the definition of
-fractional conformable in theorem 33, becomes Theorem 4 of 9.
Let
be the partition
![]() |
of the interval [c, d] and take into account the quadrature formula
![]() | (46) |
Where
![]() | (47) |
The associated approximation error is represented by
.
Proposition 41 Let
is a differentiable mapping on
such that
when
as
and
is a convex on [c, d]. For every partition
of [c, d] the trapezoidal error approximation fulfills,
![]() | (48) |
where 
Proof Theorem 33 is applied to the subinterval
of the division
of [c, d] with
, and put
we have
![]() | (49) |
Taking the sum over k from
to
then we have
![]() | (50) |
![]() | (51) |
it gives,
![]() | (52) |
![]() | (53) |
By combining (52) and (53) we get (48). This gives the error approximation for Trapezoidal type inequalities.
We have discovered certain solutions that we get from the belonging of k-fractional conformable integral inequalities and the use of katugampola fractional integrals in this exploration of the objective. Similarly, equivalent results for invex functions were established, generalising previous results in literature employing Riemann-liouville fractional integrals. Our findings are related to the Hermite-Hadamard integral inequality, which is a well-known integral inequality.
