Abstract

In the paper, the authors establish a new integral identity. By this integral identity and Hölder’s inequality, the authors obtain some new inequalities of the Hermite-Hadamard type for ε-convex functions.

1. Introduction

We first list some definitions concerning various convex functions.

Definition 1.1. A functionis said to be convex if

(1.1)

holds for alland.

In ¹ the concept of ε-convex functions was introduced as follows.

Definition 1.2. ¹ A function and , if

(1.2)

is valid for all and, then we say that is a ε-convex function on .

The following inequalities of Hermite-Hadamard type were established for some of the above convex functions.

Theorem 1.1. ² Let be differentiable on , with .

(i) If is convex function on , then

(1.3)

(ii) If is convex function on , , then

(1.4)

Theorem 1.2. ³ Let be differentiable on , with and .

(i) If is convex function on , then

(1.5)

(ii) If is convex function on , , then

(1.6)

and

(1.7)

In this paper, we establish a new integral identity. By this identity and Hölder’s inequality, some new Hermite-Hadamard type for the product of ε-convex function and discussed, some results are obtained.

2. Some Lemmas

Lemma 2.1 Let be differentiable onand where with , If , then the following identity holds:

(2.1)

Proof.

(2.2)

Since

(2.3)

Changing variables with

for , we get

(2.4)

Put the equalities (2.3) to (2.4) into the equality (2.2), the inequality (2.1) is thus proved. This completes of the proof.

By taking n= Lemma 2.1, we have the following identities.

Lemma 2.2 ² Let be differentiable onand where with , if , then

3. Some Integral Inequalities of Hermite-Hadamard Type

Theorem 3.1 is proved.

Crollary3.1. Under the conditions of Theorem 3.1, then

(1) if , we have

(2) if , we have

Theorem 3.2 Let be differentiable function on and ，, and . If，then

(3.2)

Proof. Since is ε-convex function on , using the Lemma 2.1 and by the Hölder’s inequality, we have

(3.3)

Theorem 3.2 is proved.
