Abstract
The aim of this paper is to establish new generalized fractional versions of the Hadamard and the Fejér–Hadamard integral inequalities for harmonically convex functions. Fractional integral operators involving an extended generalized Mittag-Leffler function which are further generalized via a monotone increasing function are utilized to get these generalized fractional versions. The results of this paper give several consequent fractional inequalities for harmonically convex functions for known fractional integral operators deducible from utilized generalized fractional integral operators.

1 Introduction
Fractional integral inequalities are generalizations of classical integral inequalities. Hadamard and Fejér–Hadamard inequalities are the inequalities which have been studied extensively for different fractional integral/derivative operators, see [1, 4–6, 8–10, 14, 16, 17, 23, 25, 27, 30, 33, 34, 36–38, 42, 44]. The main objective of this paper is to prove some new fractional generalizations of Hadamard and the Fejér–Hadamard inequalities for harmonically convex functions. We begin with fractional integral operators defined by Salim and Faraj in [35] containing generalized Mittag-Leffler function in their kernels as follows:
Definition 1
([35])
Let σ, τ, k, r, ρ be positive real numbers and \(\omega \in \mathbb{R}\). Then the generalized fractional integral operators containing Mittag-Leffler function for a real-valued continuous function f are defined by
where \(E_{\sigma ,\tau ,\delta }^{\rho ,r,k}(t)\) is the generalized Mittag-Leffler function defined as
The connection of Mittag-Leffler function with fractional calculus is very useful and well-established. Its alliance with fractional integral operators as a kernel plays a vital role in the development of the theory and applications of fractional calculus in various subjects of science and engineering [12, 13, 18–22, 24, 28, 29, 31, 35, 39, 43]. In [2] Andrić et al. defined the following fractional integral operators containing an extended generalized Mittag-Leffler function in their kernels:
Definition 2
([2])
Let \(\omega ,\tau , \delta , \rho , c\in \mathbb{C}\), \(\Re (\tau ), \Re (\delta )>0\), \(\Re (c)>\Re (\rho )>0\), with \(p\geq 0\), \(\sigma , r>0\) and \(0< k\leq r+\sigma \). Let \(f\in L_{1}[a,b]\) and \(x\in [a,b]\). Then the generalized fractional integral operators \(\epsilon _{\sigma ,\tau ,\delta ,\omega ,a^{+}}^{\rho ,r,k,c}f\) and \(\epsilon _{\sigma ,\tau ,\delta ,\omega ,b^{-}}^{\rho ,r,k,c}f\) are defined by
where
is the extended generalized Mittag-Leffler function.
In [7] (see, also [26]) Farid elegantly defined a unified integral operator as follows:
Definition 3
Let \(f, g: [a,b]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\), \(0< a< b\) be functions such that f is positive, \(f\in L_{1}[a,b]\), and g is differentiable and strictly increasing. Also let \(\frac{\phi }{x}\) be an increasing function on \([a,\infty )\) and \(\omega ,\tau , \delta , \rho , c\in \mathbb{C}\), \(\Re (\tau ), \Re (\delta )>0\), \(\Re (c)>\Re (\rho )>0\), with \(p\geq 0\), \(\sigma , r>0\) and \(0< k\leq r+\sigma \). Then for \(x\in [a,b]\) the integral operators \(({}_{g}F_{\sigma , \tau , \delta ,\omega , a^{+}}^{\phi , \rho , r, k, c}f)\) and \(({}_{g}F_{\sigma , \tau , \delta ,\omega , b^{-}}^{\phi , \rho , r, k, c}f)\) are defined by
A generalization of integral operators defined in (1.4), (1.5) can be deduced from the above definition by taking \(\phi (t)=t^{\tau }\) as follows:
Definition 4
Let \(f, g: [a,b]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\), \(0< a< b\) be functions such that f is positive, \(f\in L_{1}[a,b]\), and g is differentiable and strictly increasing. Also let \(\omega ,\tau , \delta , \rho , c\in \mathbb{C}\), \(\Re (\tau ), \Re (\delta )>0\), \(\Re (c)>\Re (\rho )>0\), with \(p\geq 0\), \(\sigma , r>0\), and \(0< k\leq r+\sigma \). Then for \(x\in [a,b]\) the integral operators are defined by
Fractional integral operators (1.9), (1.10) produce some already known integral operators, see [33, Remark 1].
We are interested in utilizing fractional integral operators (1.9), (1.10) for the establishment of Hadamard and Fejér–Hadamard inequalities for harmonically convex functions. The classical Hadamard inequality is an elegant geometric interpretation of convex functions.
Definition 5
([41])
A function \(f: [a,b]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) is said to be convex if
holds for all \(x,y \in [a,b] \) and \(t \in [0,1]\).
Hadamard inequality is stated in the following theorem:
Theorem 1.1
Let\(f:[a,b]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\), \(a< b\), be a convex function. Then the following inequality holds:
Fejér–Hadamard inequality is a weighted version of Hadamard inequality proved by Fejér in [11] which is stated in the following theorem:
Theorem 1.2
Let\(f:[a, b]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\)be a convex function and\(g:[a, b]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\)be a nonnegative, integrable, and symmetric about\(\frac{a+b}{2}\). Then the following inequality holds:
Next we give the definition of harmonically convex functions [14].
Definition 6
Let I be an interval of nonzero real numbers. Then a function \(f: I\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) is said to be harmonically convex if
holds for all \(a,b\in I\) and \(t\in [0,1]\). If the reversed inequality holds in (1.13), then f is called a harmonically concave function.
Example 1.3
([14])
Let \(f:(0,\infty )\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\), \(f(x) = x\), and \(g : (-\infty , 0) \to \mathbb{R}\), \(g(x) = x\). Then f is a harmonically convex function and g is a harmonically concave function.
The above example gives following result.
Proposition 1.4
([14])
Let\(I\subset \mathbb{R}\setminus \{0\}\)be a real interval and\(f: I\to \mathbb{R}\)is a function.
-
(i)
If\(I\subset (0,\infty )\)andfis convex and nondecreasing function, then is harmonically convex.
-
(ii)
If\(I\subset (0,\infty )\)andfis harmonically convex and nonincreasing function, thenfis convex.
-
(iii)
If\(I\subset (-\infty ,0)\)andfis harmonically convex and nondecreasing function, thenfis convex.
-
(iv)
If\(I\subset (-\infty ,0)\)andfis convex and nonincreasing function, thenfis a harmonically convex.
Definition 7
([25])
A function \(\varphi :[a,b]\subset \mathbb{R}\setminus \{0\}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) is said to be harmonically symmetric about \(\frac{a+b}{2ab}\) if
For some recent work on harmonically convex functions, we refer readers to [1, 3, 9, 14, 25, 30] and references therein. In this paper, we extend the work of Abbas et al. [1] and Farid et al. [9] for Hadamard and Fejér–Hadamard-type inequalities by using (1.9) and (1.10).
In Sect. 3, we prove two fractional versions of Hadamard and two fractional versions of Fejér–Hadamard-type inequalities for harmonically convex functions by using fractional integral operators (1.9) and (1.10). Furthermore, the associated published results are obtained which are identified in remarks, some corollaries are also given.
2 Main results
Theorem 2.1
Let\(f, g: [a,b]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\), \(0< a< b\), \(\operatorname{Range} (g)\subset [a,b]\), be functions such thatfis positive, \(f\in L_{1}[a,b]\), andgis differentiable and strictly increasing. Iffis a harmonically convex function on\([a,b]\), then for fractional integral operators (1.9) and (1.10) we have
where\(\psi (t)=\frac{1}{g(t)}\)for all\(t\in [\frac{1}{b},\frac{1}{a}]\)and\(\omega '=\omega (\frac{g(a)(b)}{g(b)-g(a)} )^{\sigma }\).
Proof
Since f is harmonically convex on \([a,b]\), for \(x,y\in [a,b]\), the following inequality holds:
By taking \(g(x)=\frac{g(a)g(b)}{tg(b)+(1-t)g(a)}\) and \(g(y)=\frac{g(a)g(b)}{tg(a)+(1-t)g(b)}\) in (2.2), we have
Multiplying (2.3) by \(t^{\tau -1}E_{\sigma ,\tau ,\delta }^{\rho ,r,k,c}(\omega (t^{\sigma });p)\) and integrating over \([0,1]\), we get
By setting \(g(x)=\frac{tg(b)+(1-t)g(a)}{g(a)g(b)}\) and \(g(y)=\frac{tg(a)+(1-t)g(b)}{g(a)g(b)}\) in (2.4) and using (1.9), (1.10), the first inequality of (2.1) can be obtained. On the other hand, using harmonic convexity of f, we have
Multiplying (2.5) by \(t^{\tau -1}E_{\sigma ,\tau ,\delta }^{\rho ,r,k,c}(\omega (t^{\sigma });p)\) and then integrating over \([0,1]\), we get
By setting \(g(x)=\frac{tg(b)+(1-t)g(a)}{g(a)g(b)}\) and \(g(y)=\frac{tg(a)+(1-t)g(b)}{g(a)g(b)}\) in (2.6), and using (1.9), (1.10), the second inequality of (2.1) can be obtained. □

wheregis the reciprocal function.
The following lemma is useful to give the next result.
Lemma 2.4
Let\(f, g: [a,b]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\), \(0< a< b\), \(\operatorname{Range}(g)\subset [a,b]\), be functions such thatfis positive, \(f\in L_{1}[a,b]\), andgis differentiable and strictly increasing. If\(f (\frac{1}{g(x)} )=f ( \frac{1}{\frac{1}{g(a)}+\frac{1}{g(b)}-g(x)} )\), then for operators (1.9) and (1.10) we have:
where\(\psi (t)=\frac{1}{g(t)}\)for all\(t\in [\frac{1}{b},\frac{1}{a}]\).
Proof
For operators (1.9) and (1.10), we can write
Replacing \(g(t)\) by \(\frac{1}{g(a)}+\frac{1}{g(b)}-g(x)\) in equation (2.8) and then using \(f (\frac{1}{g(x)} ) =f (\frac{1}{\frac{1}{g(a)}+\frac{1}{g(b)}-g(x)} )\), we have
By adding \(({}_{g}\varUpsilon _{\sigma , \tau , \delta , \omega , (g^{-1}( \frac{1}{g(b)}) )^{+}}^{\rho , r, k, c}f\circ \psi ) (g^{-1} (\frac{1}{g(a)} );p )\) on both sides of (2.9), we have
Equations (2.9) and (2.11) give required result. □
Theorem 2.5
Let\(f, g, h: [a,b]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\), \(0< a< b\), \(\operatorname{Range}(g)\), \(\operatorname{Range} (h) \subset [a,b]\), be functions such thatfis positive, \(f\in L_{1}[a,b]\), gis differentiable, strictly increasing, andhis nonnegative and integrable. Iffis harmonically convex and\(f (\frac{1}{g(x)} )=f ( \frac{1}{\frac{1}{g(a)}+\frac{1}{g(b)}-g(x)} )\), then for fractional integral operators (1.9) and (1.10) we have:
where\(\psi (t)=\frac{1}{g(t)}\)for all\(t\in [\frac{1}{b},\frac{1}{a}]\), \(fh\circ \psi =(f\circ \psi )(h\circ \psi )\)and\(\omega '=\omega (\frac{g(a)g(b)}{g(b)-g(a)} )^{\sigma }\).
Proof
Multiplying (2.3) by \(t^{\tau -1}E_{\sigma ,\tau ,\delta }^{\rho ,r,k,c}(\omega t^{\sigma };p)h (\frac{g(a)g(b)}{tg(b)+(1-t)g(a)} )\), then integrating over \([0,1]\) we get
By setting \(g(x)=\frac{tg(b)+(1-t)g(a)}{g(a)g(b)}\) in (2.13) and using (1.9), (1.10), as well as the condition \(f (\frac{1}{g(x)} )=f ( \frac{1}{\frac{1}{g(a)}+\frac{1}{g(b)}-g(x)} )\), we have
By using Lemma 2.4 in the above inequality, one can get the first inequality of (2.12). For the second inequality of (2.12), multiplying (2.5) by \(t^{\tau -1}E_{\sigma ,\tau ,\delta }^{\rho ,r,k,c}(\omega t^{\sigma };p)h (\frac{g(a)g(b)}{tg(b)+(1-t)g(a)} )\), then integrating over \([0,1]\), we get
