1. Introduction
First, the idea of convex functions was put forward, and many studies were made in this area. Later, in 1980, Nikodem [1] introduced the convex stochastic processes in his article. In 1995, Skowronski [3] presented some further results on convex stochastic processes. Moreover, in 2011, Kotrys [4] derived some Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for convex stochastic processes. In 2014 Maden et. al. [7] introduced the convex stochastic processes in the first sense and extended some well-known results concerning convex functions in the first sense, such as Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities and some inequalities to convex stochastic processes.
We shall introduce the following definitions which are used throughout this paper.
Definition 1. [1, 2, 8] Let be an arbitrary probability space. A function
is called a random value if it is A - measurable. A function
, where
is an interval, is called a stochastic process if for every
the function
is a random variable.
Recall that the stochastic process is called
(1) continuous in probability in interval I , if for all
![]() |
where P - lim denotes the limit in probability;
(2) mean - square continuous in the interval I, if for all
![]() |
where denotes the expectation value of the random variable
;
(3) increasing (decreasing) if for all such that
,
![]() |
(4) monotonic if it is increasing or decreasing;
(5) differentiable at a point if there is a random variable
![]() |
We say that a stochastic process is continuous (differentiable) if it is continuous (differentiable) at every point of the interval I.
Definition 2. [2, 3, 8] Let be a probability space and
be an interval. We say that a stochastic process
is
(1) convex if
![]() |
if all and
. This class of stochastic process are denoted by C.
(2) -convex (where
is a fixed number from (0,1)) if
![]() |
if all and
. This class of stochastic process are denoted by
.
(3) Wright-convex if
![]() |
if all and
. This class of stochastic process are denoted by W.
(4) Jensen-convex if
![]() |
This class of stochastic process are denoted by .
Let . A function
where
, is said to be s-convex function in the second sense if:
![]() | (1.1) |
for all with
+
= 1. This class of functions are denoted by
. It can be easily seen that for s = 1 s-convexity in the first sense reduce to ordinary convexity of functions defined on
.
Throughout this paper, let I be an interval on .
Now, we present some theorems which was proved by Dargomir and Fitzpatrick [5] and H. Hudzik and L. Maligranda [6] about some inequalities of Hermite-Hadamard type and basic properties for the s-convex functions in the second sense.
Proposition 1. [6] If , then f is non-negatif on
.
Theorem 1. [6] Let . Then inequality (1.1) holds for all
and
with
if and only if
.
Theorem 2. [5] Suppose that is s-convex mapping in the second sense,
and
with
. If
, then one has the inequalities:
![]() | (1.2) |
Theorem 3. [6] Now, suppose that f is Lebesque integrable on [a,b] and consider the mapping given by
![]() |
Let be a s-convex mapping in the second sense on I,
and Lebesque integrable on
. Then:
i: H is s-convex in the second sense on [0,1],
ii: We have the inequality:
![]() |
for all .
iii: We have inequality:
![]() |
where
![]() |
and ;
iv: If , then
Theorem 4. [6] Let be a s-convex mapping in the second sense,
,
with
on
.
![]() |
for all and
![]() |
for all ;
ii. F is s-convex in the second sense on ;
iii. We have the inequality:
![]() |
iv. We have the inequality
![]() |
for all .
v. We have the inequality:
![]() |
for all .
The aim of this paper is to introduce convex stochastic processes in the second sense and to obtain basic properties and Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for this procesess.
2. s-convex Stochastic Process in the Second Sense
Definition 3. stochastic process where
be an interval, is said to be s-convex in the second sense if:
![]() |
for all and s fixed in
. We denote this class of stochastic process by
.
Remark 1. It can be easily seen that for s = 1 s-convexity in the second sense for stochastic processes reduce to ordinary convexity of stochastic processes defined in Definition 2.
Proposition 2. for all

Hence, and so
.

The following inequality is Hermite-Hadamard inequality for s-convex stochastic processes in the second sense.
Proposition 6. Let be a stochastic process , it is integrate on at every point of the interval
. Then one has equality
![]() | (2.1) |
Proof. Let us denote . Then
and we have the change of variable
![]() |
Similarly, let us denote . Then
and we have the change of variable
![]() |
then equality is proved.
Theorem 6. If stochastic process is s-convex in the second sense,
and
, then one has the inequalities:
![]() | (2.2) |
As X stochastic process is s-convex in the second sense, we have, for all
![]() |
Integrating this inequality over on [0,1], we get
![]() |
As the change of variable gives us that
![]() |
the second inequality in (2.2) is proved. To prove the first inequality in (2.2), we observe that for all a,b∈I we have
![]() | (2.3) |
Now, let and
with
. Then we get by (2.3) that:
![]() |
for all . Integrating this inequality on
and take into accounting that the equality in Proposition 6, we deduce the first part of (2.2).
We are interested in pointing out some properties of this process as in the classical convex stochastic processes.
Theorem 7. Now, suppose that X stochastic process is, and consider the stochastic process

![]() | (2.5) |

![]() |
And ;
iv. If , then
![]() | (2.6) |
Proof. i: Let and
with
. We have succesily
![]() |
which shows that H stochastic process is s-convex in the second sense.
ii: Suppose that . Then a simple change of variable
gives us
![]() |
where .
Applying the left hand side of Hermite-Hadamard inequality for second sense s-convex stochastic process, we get
![]() |
Therefore inequality (2.4) is obtained.
iii: Applying the right hand side of Hermite-Hadamard inequality for second sense s-convex stochastic process, we also have
![]() |
for all .
Note that if , then
Proof.
![]() |
is true as it is equivalent with
![]() |
and we know that for ,
.
On the other hand, it is obvious that
![]() |
for all and
.
Integrating this inequality on [a,b] we get (2.5).
iv: We have
![]() |
for all .
On the other hand, we know that
![]() | (2.7) |
and
![]() |

![]() | (2.10) |
for all .
Proof. i. It is obvious owing to integrable properties.
ii.
![]() |
iii. By the fact that X is s-convex stochastic process in the second sense on . we have
![]() |
for all and
. Integrating this inequality on
we have
![]() | (2.11) |
Since
![]() | (2.12) |
the (2.11) inequality and (2.12) equality gives us the desired result (2.8).
iv. First of all, let us observe that
![]() |
Now, for y fixed in , we can consider the stochastic process
given by
![]() |
As shown in the proof of Theorem 3, for we have the inequality
![]() |
where . Applying Hermite-Hadamard inequality for convex stochastic process in the second sense we get that
![]() |
for all and
. Integrating on
over t, we easily deduce
![]() |
for all . As
and by taking into inequality (2.4) , the inequality (2.9) is proved for
. If
or
, then this inequality also holds. We shall omit the details.
v. By the Definition of s-convex stochastic process in the second sense, we have
![]() |
for all ,
. Integrating this inequality on
, we deduce the first part of the inequality (2.10).
Now, let us observe, by the second part of the Hermite-Hadamard inequality, that
![]() |
where .
Integrating this inequality on over t, we deduce
![]() |
A simple calculation shows that
![]() |
where and similarly,
![]() |
which gives, by addition, the second inequality in (2.10).
If or
, then this inequality also holds. We shall omit the details.
