Generalized fractional Hadamard type inequalities for \(Q_s\)-class functions of the second kind

1. Introduction and Preliminaries

Hermite-Hadamard (HH) inequalities and other related inequalities for convex functions have been extensively studied by different researchers, see [1,2] and their references. A much broader class of functions known as \(Q\)-class functions was proposed by Godunova and Levin [3,4]. This class of functions is very important because it contains all nonnegative monotone and nonnegative convex functions. Motivated by the fact that this class of functions is much bigger and broader than the class of convex functions (which many authors have given different HH and HH type inequalities on); we, therefore, present, extend and generalize the HH inequalities on this broader class of functions for fractional integrals.

Definition 1([5,6,7,8,9]). A nonnegative function \(f:I\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) is said to be a \(Q\)-class function, if for all \( x,\,y\in I,\) and \( \lambda\in (0,1),\)

Definition 2([5,6]). Let \(D\) be a subset of \(\mathbb{R}\) with at least two elements. A function \(f:I\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) is said to be a Shur function if

for all \(x,\,y,\,z\in D\).

Remark 1. Godunova and Levin [3] also showed that the class of Schur functions and the \(Q\)-class functions are equivalent. That is, (1) and (2) concide.

Definition 3 ([5,6]). A nonnegative function \(f:I\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) is said to be a \(P\)-function, if \(\forall \,x,\,y\in I,\, \lambda\in [0,1]\),

It is also known that \(P(I)\subset Q(I)\), and contains all nonnegative monotone, convex and quasi-convex functions: nonnegative functions satisfying \[f(\lambda x+(1-\lambda)y)\leq\max\{f(x),f(y)\}.\] The following Hamadard type inequalities have already been proved:

Theorem 1([4,5,6]). Let \(f\in Q(I),\,\,a,b\in I,\) with \(a< b\) and \(f\in L^1[a,b]\). Then \[f\bigg(\frac{a+b}{2}\bigg)\leq \frac{4}{b-a}\int_a^b f(x)dx,\] and \[\displaystyle \frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^bp(x)f(x)dx\leq\frac{f(a)+f(b)}{2},\] where \(p(x)=\frac{(b-x)(x-a)}{(b-a)^2}\).

Next, we state some generalizations of the \(Q\)-class function known as the \(s\)-Godunova-Levin functions (\(Q_s\)-class functions):

Definition 4([7,8,9]). A nonnegative function \(f:I\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) is said to be a \(Q_s\)-class functions of first kind if for \(s\in(0,1]\),

\(\forall\, x,\,y\in I,\, \lambda\in (0,1).\)

Remark 2. Taking \(s=1\) in (4), we obtain the definition of \(Q\)-class function in (1).

Definition 5. A function \(f:I\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) is said to be a \(Q_s\)-class functions of second kind if for \(s\in[0,1]\),

\(\forall x,\,y\in I,\, \lambda\in (0,1).\)

Remark 3. Observe that \(s=0\) in (5) gives the definition of \(P\)-class function in (3), and \(s=1\) gives the definition of \(Q\)-class function in (1).

The paper is organized as follows. Section 2 contains the main results of the paper. In Section 3, we give a concise summary of the paper.

2. Main Results

Our aim is to extend and generalize the result of Theorem 1 to \(s\)-Godunova-Levin functions of second kind given in (5):

2.1. Some Auxilliary Results

Definition 6. A function \(f(t)\) is said to be in \(L_{p,r}[a,b]\) if \[\bigg(\int_a^b|f(t)|^pt^r dt\bigg)^{\frac{1}{p}}< \infty,\,\,\,\,1\leq p< \infty,\,\,r\geq0,\] where \(L_{1,0}[a,b]=L_1[a,b]\).

Theorem 2. Let \(f\in Q_s(I),\,\,a,\,b\in I,\) with \(a< b\) and \(f\in L_1[a,b]\) satisfying (5). Then \[f\bigg(\frac{a+b}{2}\bigg)\leq \frac{2^{s+1}}{b-a}\int_a^b f(x)dx,\] and

where \(p_s(x)=\frac{(b-x)^s(x-a)^s}{(b-a)^{2s}}.\)

Proof. Let \(\lambda=\frac{1}{2}\) in (5) to get \(2^s\big(f(x)+f(y)\big)\geq f\big(\frac{x+y}{2}\big)\). Define \(x=ta +(1-t)b,\,\, y=(1-t)a+tb\), then

Integrate both sides of (7) over \(t\in[0,1]\) to obtain Let \(I_1=\displaystyle\int_0^1f(ta +(1-t)b)dt\) and \(I_2=\displaystyle\int_0^1f((1-t)a+tb)dt\). For \(I_1\), let \(z=ta +(1-t)b, \,\,z-b=(a-b)t\) and \(dz=(a-b)dt\). Also, when \(t=0, \, z=b\) and when \(t=1, \, z=a\). Thus, \[I_1=\int_b^af(z)\frac{dz}{a-b}=\frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^bf(z)dz.\] Similarly, for \(I_2\), we let \(u=(1-t)a+tb), \,\,u-a=(b-a)t\) and \(du=(b-a)dt\); when \(t=0, \,u=a\) and when \(t=1,\, u=b\). Therefore, \[I_2=\int_a^bf(u)\frac{du}{b-a}=\frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^bf(u)du.\] Combining \(I_1\) and \(I_2\), Inequality (8) becomes \(2^s.2\displaystyle\int_a^bf(x)dx\geq f\bigg(\frac{a+b}{2}\bigg)\), and the first part of the result follows. For the second part of the proof, we multiply (5) by \(\lambda^s(1-\lambda)^s\), Similarly, Now, add (9) and (10), and integrate over \(\lambda\in[0,1]\): \begin{eqnarray*} \int_0^1\lambda^s (1-\lambda)^s\bigg[f(\lambda a+(1-\lambda)b)+f((1-\lambda) a+\lambda b)\bigg]d\lambda\leq [f(a)+f(b)]\int_0^1[\lambda^s+ (1-\lambda)^s]d\lambda. \end{eqnarray*}Evaluating the integrals as before, we have \[\frac{2}{b-a}\int_a^b\frac{(b-x)^s(x-a)^s}{(b-a)^{2s}}f(x)dx\leq \frac{2\big(f(a)+f(b)\big)}{1+s}.\]

One can apply the Integral Chebyshev inequality, to get alternative inequalities of (6) of Theorem 2:

Corollary 1. Suppose that the hypotheses of Theorem 2 hold. Then \[\frac{\Gamma^2(1+s)}{\Gamma(2+2s)}\frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^bf(x)dx\leq \frac{f(a)+f(b)}{1+s},\] and \[\frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^bf(x)dx\leq\frac{f(a)+f(b)}{1-s},\,\,s\in[0,1).\]

Proof. Recall from the proof of Theorem 2, that \begin{eqnarray*} \int_0^1\lambda^s (1-\lambda)^s\bigg[f(\lambda a+(1-\lambda)b)+f((1-\lambda) a+\lambda b)\bigg]d\lambda \leq [f(a)+f(b)]\int_0^1[\lambda^s+ (1-\lambda)^s]d\lambda. \end{eqnarray*} Now, applying the Integral Chebyshev inequality on the integrals \[\displaystyle\int_0^1\lambda^s (1-\lambda)^sf(\lambda a+(1-\lambda)b)d\lambda,\] and \[\displaystyle\int_0^1\lambda^s (1-\lambda)^sf((1-\lambda) a+\lambda b)d\lambda.\] Thus, \begin{align*}\int_0^1\lambda^s (1-\lambda)^sf(\lambda a+(1-\lambda)b)d\lambda&\geq \int_0^1\lambda^s (1-\lambda)^sd\lambda\int_0^1f(\lambda a+(1-\lambda)b)d\lambda\\ &=\frac{\Gamma^2(1+s)}{\Gamma(2+2s)}\frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^bf(x)dx. \end{align*} Similarly, \[\displaystyle\int_0^1\lambda^s (1-\lambda)^sf((1-\lambda) a+\lambda b)d\lambda\geq\frac{\Gamma^2(1+s)}{\Gamma(2+2s)}\frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^bf(x)dx.\] So, we obtain that \[\frac{\Gamma^2(1+s)}{\Gamma(2+2s)}\frac{2}{b-a}\int_a^bf(x)dx\leq \frac{2\big(f(a)+f(b)\big)}{1+s},\] and the first inequality follows.

Next, we write Inequality (5) for \(a, b\) as follows: \[f(\lambda a+(1-\lambda)b)\leq\lambda^{-s}f(a)+(1-\lambda)^{-s}f(b),\] and integrate over \(\lambda\in[0,1]\) to get

\begin{align*}\frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^bf(x)dx&=\int_0^1f(\lambda a+(1-\lambda)b)d\lambda\\ &\leq f(a)\int_0^1\lambda^{-s}d\lambda+ f(b)\int_0^1(1-\lambda)^{-s}d\lambda\\&=\frac{f(a)+f(b)}{1-s}. \end{align*}

2.2. Fractional Hadamard type inequalities

Next, we extend the results for fractional integrals:

Definition 7([10,11]). If \(f\in L_1([a,b])\). Then the right (and respectively the left) Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of order \(\alpha\geq0\) is given by \[I^\alpha_{a^{+}}f(t)=\frac{1}{\Gamma(\alpha)}\int_a^t (t-s)^{\alpha-1} f(s) ds,\,\,\,t\in[a,b],\] and \[I^\alpha_{b^{-}}f(t)=\frac{1}{\Gamma(\alpha)}\int_t^b (s-t)^{\alpha-1} f(s) ds,\,\,\,t\in[a,b].\]

Theorem 3. Let \(f\in Q_s(I),\,\,a,b\in I,\) with \(a< b\) and \(f\in L_1[a,b]\) satisfying (5). Then \[f\bigg(\frac{a+b}{2}\bigg)\leq\frac{2^s\Gamma(\alpha+1)}{(b-a)^\alpha}\big[I_{b^{-}}^\alpha f(a)+I_{a^{+}}^\alpha f(b)\big],\] and \begin{eqnarray*} \frac{\Gamma^2(s\alpha+1)}{(b-a)^{s(\alpha+1)+1}\big[\Gamma(1+s\alpha)+\Gamma(1+s)\Gamma(1-s(1-\alpha))\big]}\bigg[I_{b^{-}}^{s\alpha+1}\big[(b-a)^sf(a)+I_{a^{+}}^{s\alpha+1}\big[(b-a)^sf(b)\bigg]\leq\frac{f(a)+f(b)}{1+s\alpha}. \end{eqnarray*}

Proof. Following similar steps as above, for \(\lambda=\frac{1}{2},\,\, x=ta +(1-t)b,\,\, y=(1-t)a+tb\), we have \[2^s\big[f(ta +(1-t)b)+f((1-t)a+tb)\big]\geq f\bigg(\frac{a+b}{2}\bigg).\] Multiply through by \(t^{\alpha-1}\) and integrate over \(t\in[0,1]\) to obtain

Evaluating the integrals: \begin{eqnarray*}\int_0^1t^{\alpha-1}f(ta +(1-t)b)dt&=&\int_b^a\bigg(\frac{z-b}{a-b}\bigg)^{\alpha-1}f(z)\frac{dz}{a-b}\\ &=&\frac{1}{(b-a)^\alpha}\int_a^b(b-z)^{\alpha-1}dz\\&=&\frac{\Gamma(\alpha)}{(b-a)^\alpha}I_{b^{-}}^\alpha f(a). \end{eqnarray*} Similarly, \(\displaystyle\int_0^1t^{\alpha-1}f((1-t)a+tb)dt=\frac{\Gamma(\alpha)}{(b-a)^\alpha}I_{a^{+}}^\alpha f(b)\). Thus, inequality (11) becomes \[2^s\frac{\Gamma(\alpha)}{(b-a)^\alpha}\big[I_{b^{-}}^\alpha f(a)+I_{a^{+}}^\alpha f(b)\big]\geq \frac{1}{\alpha}f\bigg(\frac{a+b}{2}\bigg).\] On the other hand, \begin{eqnarray*} \int_0^1\lambda^s (1-\lambda)^s\bigg[f(\lambda a+(1-\lambda)b)+f((1-\lambda) a+\lambda b)\bigg]d\lambda \leq [f(a)+f(b)]\int_0^1[\lambda^s+ (1-\lambda)^s]d\lambda. \end{eqnarray*} Multiply through by \(\lambda^{s\alpha-s}\) and integrate over \(\lambda\in[0,1]\): \begin{eqnarray*} \int_0^1\lambda^{s\alpha} (1-\lambda)^s\bigg[f(\lambda a+(1-\lambda)b)+f((1-\lambda) a+\lambda b)\bigg]d\lambda \leq [f(a)+f(b)]\int_0^1[\lambda^{s\alpha}+\lambda^{s\alpha-s} (1-\lambda)^s]d\lambda. \end{eqnarray*}Evaluating each of the integrals gives, \begin{align*} \int_0^1\lambda^{s\alpha} (1-\lambda)^s f(\lambda a+(1-\lambda)b)d\lambda&=\int_b^a\bigg(\frac{b-x}{b-a}\bigg)^{s\alpha}\bigg(\frac{x-a}{b-a}\bigg)^sf(x)\frac{dx}{a-b}\\ &=\frac{1}{(b-a)^{s(\alpha+1)+1}}\int_a^b(b-x)^{s\alpha}(x-a)^sf(x)dx\\ &=\frac{\Gamma(s\alpha+1)}{(b-a)^{s(\alpha+1)+1}}I_{a^{+}}^{s\alpha+1}\big[(b-a)^sf(b)\big]. \end{align*} Also, \begin{align*} \int_0^1\lambda^{s\alpha} (1-\lambda)^s f((1-\lambda) a+\lambda b)d\lambda &=\int_a^b\bigg(\frac{x-a}{b-a}\bigg)^{s\alpha}\bigg(\frac{b-x}{b-a}\bigg)^sf(x)\frac{dx}{b-a}\\ &=\frac{1}{(b-a)^{s(\alpha+1)+1}}\int_a^b(x-a)^{s\alpha}(b-x)^sf(x)dx\\ &=\frac{\Gamma(s\alpha+1)}{(b-a)^{s(\alpha+1)+1}}I_{b^{-}}^{s\alpha+1}\big[(b-a)^sf(a)\big]. \end{align*} Finally, \begin{eqnarray*} \int_0^1[\lambda^{s\alpha}+\lambda^{s\alpha-s} (1-\lambda)^s]d\lambda&=&\frac{1}{1+s\alpha}+\frac{\Gamma(1+s)\Gamma(1-s+s\alpha)}{\Gamma(2+s\alpha)}\\ &=&\frac{\Gamma(1+s\alpha)+\Gamma(1+s)\Gamma(1-s(1-\alpha))}{(1+s\alpha)\Gamma(1+s\alpha)}. \end{eqnarray*}Combining the integrals together, we obtain \begin{eqnarray*} \frac{\Gamma(s\alpha+1)}{(b-a)^{s(\alpha+1)+1}}\bigg[I_{b^{-}}^{s\alpha+1}\big[(b-a)^sf(a)+I_{a^{+}}^{s\alpha+1}\big[(b-a)^sf(b)\bigg]\leq \frac{\Gamma(1+s\alpha)+\Gamma(1+s)\Gamma(1-s(1-\alpha))}{(1+s\alpha)\Gamma(1+s\alpha)}\big[f(a)+f(b)\big], \end{eqnarray*}and therefore, \begin{eqnarray*} \frac{\Gamma^2(s\alpha+1)}{(b-a)^{s(\alpha+1)+1}\big[\Gamma(1+s\alpha)+\Gamma(1+s)\Gamma(1-s(1-\alpha))\big]}\bigg[I_{b^{-}}^{s\alpha+1}\big[(b-a)^sf(a)+I_{a^{+}}^{s\alpha+1}\big[(b-a)^sf(b)\bigg]\leq\frac{f(a)+f(b)}{1+s\alpha}. \end{eqnarray*}

Katugampola generalized the above integrals for functions \(f\in X_c^p(a,b)\) as follows: Let \(X_c^p(a,b),\,c\in\mathbb{R},\) denote a set of complex valued Lebesgue measurable functions \(f\) on \([a,b]\) with the norm \[\|f\|_{X_c^p}=\bigg(\int_a^b|t^c f(t)|^p\frac{dt}{t}\bigg)^{\frac{1}{p}}< \infty,\,\,1\leq p< \infty,\] and \[ \|f\|_{X_c^\infty}=\sup ess_{x\in (a,b)}|t^c f(t)|.\]

Definition 8([12,13]). If \(f\in X^p_c(a,b)\). Then the left (and respectively the right) Katugampola fractional integral of order \(\alpha\geq0\) is given by \[^\rho I^{\alpha}_{a^{+}}f(t)=\frac{\rho^{1-\alpha}}{\Gamma(\alpha)}\int_a^t (t^\rho-s^\rho)^{\alpha-1}s^{\rho-1} f(s) ds,\,\,\,t\in[a,b]\] and \[^\rho I^{\alpha}_{b^{-}}f(t)=\frac{\rho^{1-\alpha}}{\Gamma(\alpha)}\int_t^b (s^\rho-t^\rho)^{\alpha-1}s^{\rho-1} f(s) ds,\,\,\,t\in[a,b].\]

Katugampola gave a generalization of different fractional integrals as follows:

Definition 9([12,13]). Let \(f\in X^p_c(a,b),\,\,\alpha\geq0\) and \(\beta, \rho,\eta,\kappa\in\mathbb{R}\). Then the left (and respectively the right) fractional integrals of \(f\) is given by \[^\rho I^{\alpha,\beta}_{a^{+},\eta,\kappa}f(t)=\frac{\rho^{1-\beta}t^\kappa}{\Gamma(\alpha)}\int_a^t (t^\rho-s^\rho)^{\alpha-1}s^{\rho(\eta+1)-1} f(s) ds,\,\,\,0\leq a< t< b\leq\infty\] and \[^\rho I^{\alpha,\beta}_{b^{-},\eta,\kappa}f(t)=\frac{\rho^{1-\beta}t^{\rho\eta}}{\Gamma(\alpha)}\int_t^b (s^\rho-t^\rho)^{\alpha-1}s^{\kappa+\rho-1} f(s) ds,\,\,\,0\leq a< t< b\leq\infty.\]

We generalize Inequality (5) as follows: with \(\tilde{\rho}=\rho(\eta+1).\)

Theorem 4. Let \(f\in X^p_c(a^{\tilde{\rho}},b^{\tilde{\rho}})\). Suppose \(f\in Q_s(I)\) with \(I=[a^{\tilde{\rho}},b^{\tilde{\rho}}]\) and satisfies (12). Then \[ f\bigg(\frac{a^{\tilde{\rho}}+b^{\tilde{\rho}}}{2}\bigg)\leq \frac{2^s\Gamma(\alpha+1)}{\rho^{1-\beta}}\frac{\tilde{\rho}}{\big(b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}}\big)^\alpha}\bigg[\frac{1}{(a^{\tilde{\rho}})^k}{}^\rho I^{\alpha,\beta}_{{b^{\tilde{\rho}}}^{-},\eta,\kappa}f(a^{\tilde{\rho}})+\frac{1}{(b^{\tilde{\rho}})^{\rho\eta}}{}^\rho I^{\alpha,\beta}_{{a^{\tilde{\rho}}}^{+},\eta,\rho\eta}f(b^{\tilde{\rho}})\bigg],\] and \begin{align*}\frac{1}{\rho^{1-\beta}}\frac{\Gamma^2\big(\frac{1+s\alpha\tilde{\rho}}{\tilde{\rho}}\big)}{(b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}})^{s(\alpha+1)+\frac{1}{\tilde{\rho}}}}&\frac{1}{\Gamma\big(\frac{1+s\alpha\tilde{\rho}}{\tilde{\rho}}\big)+\Gamma(1+s)\Gamma\big(\frac{1+s\tilde{\rho}(\alpha-1)}{\tilde{\rho}}\big)}\\ \times&\bigg[\frac{1}{(a^{\tilde{\rho}})^k}{}^\rho I^{s\alpha+\frac{1}{\tilde{\rho}},\beta}_{{b^{\tilde{\rho}}}^{-},\eta,\kappa}\big[(b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}})^sf(a^{\tilde{\rho}})\big]+\frac{1}{(b^{\tilde{\rho}})^{\rho\eta}}{}^\rho I^{s\alpha+\frac{1}{\tilde{\rho}},\beta}_{{a^{\tilde{\rho}}}^{+},\eta,\rho\eta}\big[(b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}})^sf(b^{\tilde{\rho}})\big]\bigg]\leq \frac{f(a^{\tilde{\rho}})+f(b^{\tilde{\rho}})}{1+s\alpha\tilde{\rho}}, \end{align*}where \(\tilde{\rho}:=\rho(\eta+1)\).

Proof. For \(\lambda^{\tilde{\rho}}=\frac{1}{2},\, x^{\tilde{\rho}}=t^{\tilde{\rho}}a^{\tilde{\rho}}+(1-t^{\tilde{\rho}})b^{\tilde{\rho}},\,\,y^{\tilde{\rho}}=(1-t^{\tilde{\rho}})a^{\tilde{\rho}}+t^{\tilde{\rho}}b^{\tilde{\rho}}\), we have \[2^s\big[f(t^{\tilde{\rho}}a^{\tilde{\rho}}+(1-t^{\tilde{\rho}})b^{\tilde{\rho}})+f((1-t^{\tilde{\rho}})a^{\tilde{\rho}}+t^{\tilde{\rho}}b^{\tilde{\rho}})\big]\geq f\bigg(\frac{a^{\tilde{\rho}}+b^{\tilde{\rho}}}{2}\bigg).\] Multiply through by \(t^{\alpha\tilde{\rho}-1},\,\,\alpha,\tilde{\rho}>0\), and integrating over \(t\) in the interval \([0,1]\) to obtain: \begin{eqnarray*} 2^s\bigg[\int_0^1t^{\alpha\tilde{\rho}-1}f(t^{\tilde{\rho}}a^{\tilde{\rho}}+(1-t^{\tilde{\rho}})b^{\tilde{\rho}})dt+\int_0^1t^{\alpha\tilde{\rho}-1}f((1-t^{\tilde{\rho}})a^{\tilde{\rho}}+t^{\tilde{\rho}}b^{\tilde{\rho}})dt\bigg] \geq \frac{1}{\alpha\rho(\eta+1)}f\bigg(\frac{a^{\tilde{\rho}}+b^{\tilde{\rho}}}{2}\bigg){\color{red}.} \end{eqnarray*} Evaluating the first integral, we let \(t^{\tilde{\rho}}=\frac{b^{\tilde{\rho}}-x^{\tilde{\rho}}}{b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}}}\) and \(\frac{x^{\tilde{\rho}-1}}{x^{\tilde{\rho}}-b^{\tilde{\rho}}}dx=\frac{1}{t}dt\), to have \begin{align*} \int_0^1t^{\alpha\tilde{\rho}-1}f(t^{\tilde{\rho}}a^{\tilde{\rho}}+(1-t^{\tilde{\rho}})b^{\tilde{\rho}})dt&= \int_0^1t^{\alpha\tilde{\rho}}f(t^{\tilde{\rho}}a^{\tilde{\rho}}+(1-t^{\tilde{\rho}})b^{\tilde{\rho}})t^{-1}dt\\ &=\int_b^a \bigg(\frac{b^{\tilde{\rho}}-x^{\tilde{\rho}}}{b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}}}\bigg)^\alpha f(x^{\tilde{\rho}})\frac{x^{\tilde{\rho}-1}}{x^{\tilde{\rho}}-b^{\tilde{\rho}}}dx\\ &=\frac{1}{\big(b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}}\big)^\alpha}\int_a^b\frac{x^{\tilde{\rho}-1}}{\big(b^{\tilde{\rho}}-x^{\tilde{\rho}}\big)^{1-\alpha}}f(x^{\tilde{\rho}})dx\\ &=\frac{\Gamma(\alpha)}{\rho^{1-\beta}(b^{\tilde{\rho}})^{\rho\eta}}\frac{1}{\big(b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}}\big)^\alpha}{}^\rho I^{\alpha,\beta}_{{a^{\tilde{\rho}}}^{+},\eta,\rho\eta}f(b^{\tilde{\rho}}). \end{align*} Similarly, for the second integral, we obtain: \[\int_0^1t^{\alpha\tilde{\rho}-1}f((1-t^{\tilde{\rho}})a^{\tilde{\rho}}+t^{\tilde{\rho}}b^{\tilde{\rho}})dt=\frac{\Gamma(\alpha)}{\rho^{1-\beta}(a^{\tilde{\rho}})^k}\frac{1}{\big(b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}}\big)^\alpha}{}^\rho I^{\alpha,\beta}_{{b^{\tilde{\rho}}}^{-},\eta,\kappa}f(a^{\tilde{\rho}}).\] Combine the two integrals to give, \[\frac{2^s\Gamma(\alpha)}{\rho^{1-\beta}}\frac{\alpha\rho(\eta+1)}{\big(b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}}\big)^\alpha}\bigg[\frac{1}{(a^{\tilde{\rho}})^k}{}^\rho I^{\alpha,\beta}_{{b^{\tilde{\rho}}}^{-},\eta,\kappa}f(a^{\tilde{\rho}})+\frac{1}{(b^{\tilde{\rho}})^{\rho\eta}}{}^\rho I^{\alpha,\beta}_{{a^{\tilde{\rho}}}^{+},\eta,\rho\eta}f(b^{\tilde{\rho}})\bigg]\geq f\bigg(\frac{a^{\tilde{\rho}}+b^{\tilde{\rho}}}{2}\bigg).\] To prove the second part of the theorem, we start with the following

and First add (13) and (14); multiply it by \(\lambda^{s\alpha\tilde{\rho}-s\tilde{\rho}}\) and integrate over \(\lambda\in[0,1]\) to give To evaluate the first integral, let \(\lambda^{\tilde{\rho}}=\frac{b^{\tilde{\rho}}-x^{\tilde{\rho}}}{b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}}}\), \(\frac{x^{\tilde{\rho}-1}}{x^{\tilde{\rho}}-b^{\tilde{\rho}}}\big(\frac{b^{\tilde{\rho}}-x^{\tilde{\rho}}}{b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}}}\big)^{\frac{1}{\tilde{\rho}}}dx=d\lambda\) and thus, \begin{align*} \int_0^1\lambda^{s\alpha\tilde{\rho}} (1-\lambda^{\tilde{\rho}})^sf(\lambda^{\tilde{\rho}}a^{\tilde{\rho}}+(1-\lambda^{\tilde{\rho}})b^{\tilde{\rho}})d\lambda &=\int_b^a\bigg(\frac{b^{\tilde{\rho}}-x^{\tilde{\rho}}}{b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}}}\bigg)^{s\alpha}\bigg(\frac{x^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}}}{b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}}}\bigg)^sf(x^{\tilde{\rho}})\frac{x^{\tilde{\rho}-1}}{x^{\tilde{\rho}}-b^{\tilde{\rho}}}\bigg(\frac{b^{\tilde{\rho}}-x^{\tilde{\rho}}}{b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}}}\bigg)^{\frac{1}{\tilde{\rho}}}dx\\ &=\frac{1}{(b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}})^{s\alpha+s+\frac{1}{\tilde{\rho}}}}\int^b_a(b^{\tilde{\rho}}-x^{\tilde{\rho}})^{s\alpha-1+\frac{1}{\tilde{\rho}}}(x^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}})^sx^{\tilde{\rho}-1}f(x^{\tilde{\rho}})dx\\ &=\frac{\Gamma(s\alpha+\frac{1}{\tilde{\rho}})}{\rho^{1-\beta}}\frac{1}{(b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}})^{s\alpha+s+\frac{1}{\tilde{\rho}}}}\frac{1}{(b^{\tilde{\rho}})^{\rho\eta}}{}^\rho I^{s\alpha+\frac{1}{\tilde{\rho}},\beta}_{{a^{\tilde{\rho}}}^{+},\eta,\rho\eta}\big[(b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}})^sf(b^{\tilde{\rho}})\big]. \end{align*} For the second integral, we follow the same procedure to arrive at \begin{eqnarray*} \int_0^1\lambda^{s\alpha\tilde{\rho}} (1-\lambda^{\tilde{\rho}})^sf((1-\lambda^{\tilde{\rho}})a^{\tilde{\rho}}+\lambda^{\tilde{\rho}}b^{\tilde{\rho}})d\lambda =\frac{\Gamma(s\alpha+\frac{1}{\tilde{\rho}})}{\rho^{1-\beta}}\frac{1}{(b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}})^{s\alpha+s+\frac{1}{\tilde{\rho}}}}\frac{1}{(a^{\tilde{\rho}})^k}{}^\rho I^{s\alpha+\frac{1}{\tilde{\rho}},\beta}_{{b^{\tilde{\rho}}}^{-},\eta,\kappa}\big[(b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}})^sf(a^{\tilde{\rho}})\big]. \end{eqnarray*}Evaluating the integral on the right hand side of (15), we have \begin{align*} \int_0^1[\lambda^{s\alpha\tilde{\rho}}+\lambda^{s\alpha\tilde{\rho}-s\tilde{\rho}} (1-\lambda^{\tilde{\rho}})^s]d\lambda&=\frac{1}{1+s\alpha\tilde{\rho}}+\frac{\Gamma(1+s)\Gamma\big(\frac{1+s\alpha\tilde{\rho}-s\tilde{\rho}}{\tilde{\rho}}\big)}{\tilde{\rho}\Gamma\big(\frac{1+\tilde{\rho}+s\alpha\tilde{\rho}}{\tilde{\rho}}\big)}\\ &=\frac{1}{1+s\alpha\tilde{\rho}}+\frac{\Gamma(1+s)\Gamma\big(\frac{1+s\tilde{\rho}(\alpha-1)}{\tilde{\rho}}\big)}{(1+s\alpha\tilde{\rho})\Gamma\big(\frac{1+s\alpha\tilde{\rho}}{\tilde{\rho}}\big)}\\ &=\frac{\Gamma\big(\frac{1+s\alpha\tilde{\rho}}{\tilde{\rho}}\big)+\Gamma(1+s)\Gamma\big(\frac{1+s\tilde{\rho}(\alpha-1)}{\tilde{\rho}}\big)}{(1+s\alpha\tilde{\rho})\Gamma\big(\frac{1+s\alpha\tilde{\rho}}{\tilde{\rho}}\big)}. \end{align*}Now, combine all the integrals of (15) together to obtain \begin{align*}\frac{\Gamma(s\alpha+\frac{1}{\tilde{\rho}})}{\rho^{1-\beta}}\frac{1}{(b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}})^{s\alpha+s+\frac{1}{\tilde{\rho}}}}& \bigg[\frac{1}{(a^{\tilde{\rho}})^k}{}^\rho I^{s\alpha+\frac{1}{\tilde{\rho}},\beta}_{{b^{\tilde{\rho}}}^{-},\eta,\kappa}\big[(b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}})^sf(a^{\tilde{\rho}})\big]+\frac{1}{(b^{\tilde{\rho}})^{\rho\eta}}{}^\rho I^{s\alpha+\frac{1}{\tilde{\rho}},\beta}_{{a^{\tilde{\rho}}}^{+},\eta,\rho\eta}\big[(b^{\tilde{\rho}}-a^{\tilde{\rho}})^sf(b^{\tilde{\rho}})\big]\bigg]\\&\leq\frac{\Gamma\big(\frac{1+s\alpha\tilde{\rho}}{\tilde{\rho}}\big)+\Gamma(1+s)\Gamma\big(\frac{1+s\tilde{\rho}(\alpha-1)}{\tilde{\rho}}\big)}{(1+s\alpha\tilde{\rho})\Gamma\big(\frac{1+s\alpha\tilde{\rho}}{\tilde{\rho}}\big)} [f(a^{\tilde{\rho}})+f(b^{\tilde{\rho}})].\hskip1.45in \end{align*}
