1. Introduction
The Hermite–Hadamard inequality for convex functions has been widely addressed due to it’s importance in developing a relationship between the theory of convex functions and integral inequalities. Many generalizations of convex functions have been developed in the recent past and estimates for the Hermite–Hadamard inequality have been obtained for these generalized definitions.
Let
be a convex function and
with
, then
The inequality is known as Hermite–Hadamard inequality for convex functions.
In [
1], Fejér gave a weighted generalization of the inequality (1) as follows:
where
is non-negative, integrable and symmetric about
.
Recently, fractional calculus has proved to be a powerful tool in different fields of sciences. Because of the wide application of fractional calculus and Hermite–Hadamard inequalities, researchers have extended their work on Hermite–Hadamard inequalities in the fractional domain. Hermite–Hadamard inequalities involving fractional integrals for different classes of functions have been established.
In [
2], Sarikaya et al. presented Hermite–Hadamard’s inequalities for fractional integral as follows.
Theorem 1. Let with and . If g is positive and a convex function on , then the following inequalities for fractional integrals hold
with
Here, the symbols
and

and
In the case of , the fractional integral reduces to the classical integral.
The concept of invex sets was given by T. Antczak [
4].
Definition 1. A set is invex with respect to the map if for every and , The invex set H is also called an η-connected set. Every convex set is an invex set but its converse is not true.
In 1998, Weir and Mond [
5], defined preinvex functions as a generalization of convex functions as given below:
Definition 2. Let be an invex set and a function is said to be preinvex w.r.t η if ∀ and
If , then in classical sense, the preinvex functions become convex functions. A function g is called preconcave if its negative is preinvex.
In 2012, Imdat Iscan ([
6]) presented following inqualities for preinvex function in fractional domain.
Theorem 2. Let H , be an open invex subset with respect to and with Suppose is a preinvex function, then for every with the following equality holds:where For more estimates of Hermite–Hadamard–Fejér type inequalities for generalized convex functions see [
7,
8].
In this paper, we present two new Hermite–Hadamard–Fejér identities for preinvex functions in fractional domains. Using the new identities, we obtain some new weighted estimates connected with the left and right hand side of the Hermite–Hadamard type inequalities for the fractional integrals involving preinvex functions.
