1. Introduction
Convex inequalities are mathematical inequalities involving convex functions. A convex inequality is similar to the definition of a convex function, but it applies to the inequalities formed by these functions. In order to design constraints that limit the viable region to convex sets, convex inequalities are crucial in optimization issues. Convexity is well known as playing a significant and critical role in a range of domains such as economics, finance, optimization, game theory, statistical theory, quality management, and numerous sciences.

Inequalities are an amazing mathematical tool due to their importance in fractional calculus, traditional calculus, quantum calculus, stochastic, time-scale calculus, fractal sets, and other fields. The crucial mathematical tool that connects integrals and inequalities, integral inequalities provide insights into the behavior of functions over particular intervals.

Fractional calculus, which focuses on fractional integration across complex domains, has recently acquired popularity due to its practical applications and has piqued the curiosity of mathematicians. The research of well-known inequalities, such as Ostrowski, Simpson, and Hadamard, inspired the study of fractional integral inequality. Transform theory, engineering, modeling, finance, mathematical biology, fluid flow, natural phenomenon prediction, healthcare, and image processing are all domains where fractional calculus is used.
The goal of this article is to prove some integral inequalities for derivable mapping whose absolute values are preinvex. Next, we will review some concepts in invexity analysis that will be utilized throughout the paper (see [
20,
21,
22,
23,
24] and references therein). The idea of convexity is a strong and magnificent tool for dealing with a huge range of applied and pure science problems. Many researchers have recently devoted themselves to researching the properties and inequalities associated with the topic of convexity in different areas, (see [
25,
26] and the references therein).
We constructed this manuscript in the following way: first, we explore some fundamental ideas and definitions in
Section 2. In
Section 3, we investigate and prove new integral identities. In
Section 4, we investigate some applications involving modified Bessel functions and q-digamma functions. Lastly, in
Section 5, future directions and conclusions of the newly discussed concept are elaborated.
2. Preliminaries
The main objective of this section is to remember and discuss specific related ideas and concepts that are pertinent to our analysis in later sections of this paper.
Jensen introduced the term convexity for the first time in the following manner:
Definition 1 ([27]). A mapping is said to be convex iffor all and Definition 2 ([28]). The term invexity (ξ-connected set) is defined on a set with respect to , if and It is self-evident that every convex set is invex in terms of However, there are invex sets that are not convex [20]. Definition 3 ([29]). Let , then is m–invex w.r.t , iffor every , and . Example 1 ([29]). Suppose and Then, is an m-invex set with respect to ξ for and It is obvious that is not a convex set.
In the year 1988, Mond and Weir [
30] explored the idea of invex set to introduce the idea of preinvexity.
Definition 4 ([30]). A function is said to be preinvex with respect to if It is very important to mark that every convex is a preinvex function, but the converse is not true [
21]. For example,
, is preinvex but not convex with respect to
Recently, Deng [
31] introduced
m–preinvex function, which is defined as:
Definition 5. A function is said to be generalized m–preinvex with respect to for , iffor every . The following condition C was explored and discussed for the first time by Mohan and Neogy [
32].

5. Conclusions
The work on integral inequalities associated with fractional operators has proven to be an abundant source of inspiration for numerous researchers in a variety of fields. Improvements and generalizations achieved with the concept of preinvexity result in better and sharper bounds when compared to convex functions. First, in this work, we established a few fractional identities. Employing these new notations and identities, we derived some Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities applicable to the R-L fractional integrals. Furthermore, various examples are provided to demonstrate the accuracy of the results. With the help of power mean and Hölder inequality, we derived the generalizations of H-H inequality that brought the work more aesthetic appeal. Our findings provide improvements and modifications to prior investigations, encouraging additional investigation.
