1. Introduction
Throughout this paper, we use the following notations:
,
,
.
We first recall several definitions.
Definition 1.1. A function
is said to be convex if
 | (1.1) |
holds for all
and
.
Definition 1.2. A function
is said to be geometrically convex if
 | (1.2) |
holds for all
and
.
Definition 1.3 ([3]). A function
is said to be
-convex if
 | (1.3) |
holds for all
,
, and some
.
Definition 1.4 ([11]). Let
be a positive function on
and
. If
 | (1.4) |
holds for all
,
, then we say that the function
is
-geometrically convex on
.
Definition 1.5 ([12]). A function
is said to be
-convex where

In this paper, we will introduce the concept “
-AH convex functions” and establish some inequalities of Hermite-Hadamard type for
-AH convex functions.
2. Definition and lemmas
The concept of
-AH convex function may be introduced as follows.
Definition 2.1. A function
is said to be AH convex if for all
and
the inequality
 | (2.1) |
holds. If the inequality (2.1) is reversed then
is said to be AH concave function.
Definition 2.2. A function
is said to be
-AH convex for some given number
, if the inequality
 | (2.2) |
holds for all
and
. if the inequality (2.2) reverses, then
is said to be
-AH concave.
When
, the
-AH convex function is AH convex function on
.
In order to establish some inequalities of Hermite– Hadamard type for
-AH convex functions, we find the following lemmas.
Lemma 2.1. Let
be differentiable on
,
with
and
. Then
 | (2.3) |
Proof. Integrating by part gives
 | (2.4) |
Similarly, we have
 | (2.5) |
 | (2.6) |
 | (2.7) |
From (2.4)-(2.7), the identity (2.3) follows. The proof is complete.
Lemma 2.2. For
and
, we have
 | (2.8) |
and
 | (2.9) |
