1. Introduction
The following definitions are well known in the literature.
Definition 1.1. A function
is said to be convex if
 | (1) |
holds for all
and
. If the inequality (1) reverses, then
is said to be concave on
.
The well-known Hermite-Hadamard inequality reads that for every convex function
,we have

2. A Definition and A Lemma
In the most recent paper [11], Maksa and Palés introduced even more general notion of convexity. More precisely,
-convex functions are defined as solutions f of the functional inequality
where
and
are given functions.
We first introduce a definition of
-convex functions.
Definition 2.1. Assume
