In this article, we develop multiplicative fractional versions of Simpson’s and Newton’s formula-type inequalities for differentiable generalized convex functions with the help of established identities. The main motivation for using generalized convex functions lies in their ability to extend results beyond traditional convex functions, encompassing a broader class of functions, and providing optimal approximations for both lower and upper bounds. These inequalities are very useful in finding the error bounds for the numerical integration formulas in multiplicative calculus. Applying these results to the Quadrature formulas demonstrates their practical utility in numerical integration. Furthermore, numerical analysis provides empirical evidence of the effectiveness of the derived findings. It is also demonstrated that the newly proven inequalities extend certain existing results in the literature. Full article

In this paper, we investigate a class of non-instantaneous impulsive fractional integral equations. Utilizing the Banach contraction mapping principle, we establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the considered problem. Additionally, employing Schauder’s fixed-point theorem, we demonstrate the existence of solutions within the framework of β-Banach spaces. Moreover, we examine the β–Ulam–Hyers stability of the solutions, providing insights into the stability behavior under small perturbations. An illustrative example is presented to demonstrate the practical applicability and effectiveness of the theoretical results obtained. Full article

This research aims to develop generalized fractional integral inequalities by utilizing multiple Erdélyi–Kober (E–K) fractional integral operators. Using a set of j, with (jN) positively continuous and decaying functions in the finite interval atx, the Fox-H function is involved in establishing new and novel fractional integral inequalities. Since the Fox-H function is the most general special function, the obtained inequalities are therefore sufficiently widespread and significant in comparison to the current literature to yield novel and unique results.

We propose a new definition of the γ-convex stochastic processes (CSP) using center and radius (CR) order with the notion of interval valued functions (C.RI.V). By utilizing this definition and Mean-Square Fractional Integrals, we generalize fractional Hermite–Hadamard–Mercer-type inclusions for generalized C.RI.V versions of convex, tgs-convex, P-convex, exponential-type convex, Godunova–Levin convex, s-convex, Godunova–Levin s-convex, h-convex, n-polynomial convex, and fractional n-polynomial (CSP). Also, our work uses interesting examples of C.RI.V(CSP) with Python-programmed graphs to validate our findings using an extension of Mercer’s inclusions with applications related to entropy and information theory.

This paper’s findings are related to geometric function theory (GFT). We employ one of the most recent methods in this area, the fuzzy admissible functions methodology, which is based on fuzzy differential subordination, to produce them. To do this, the relevant fuzzy admissible function classes must first be defined. This work deals with fuzzy differential subordinations, ideas borrowed from fuzzy set theory and applied to complex analysis. This work examines the characteristics of analytic functions and presents a class of operators in the open unit disk Jη,ςκ(a,e,x) for ς>1,η>0, such that a,eR,(ea)0,a>x. The fuzzy differential subordination results are obtained using (GFT) concepts outside the field of complex analysis because of the operator’s compositional structure, and some relevant classes of admissible functions are studied by utilizing fuzzy differential subordination.

The concept of subordination is expanded in this study from the fuzzy sets theory to the geometry theory of analytic functions with a single complex variable. This work aims to clarify fuzzy subordination as a notion and demonstrate its primary attributes. With this work’s assistance, new fuzzy differential subordinations will be presented. The first theorems lead to intriguing corollaries for specific aspects chosen to exhibit fuzzy best dominance. The work introduces a new integral operator for meromorphic functions and uses the newly developed integral operator, which is starlike and convex, respectively, to obtain conclusions on fuzzy differential subordination.

In the present paper, utilizing a wide class of fractional integral operators (namely the Raina fractional operator), we develop novel fractional integral inequalities of the Hermite–Hadamard type. With the help of the well-known Riemann–Liouville fractional operators, s-type convex functions are derived using the important results. We also note that some of the conclusions of this study are more reasonable than those found under certain specific conditions, e.g., s=1, λ=α, σ(0)=1, and w=0. In conclusion, the methodology described in this article is expected to stimulate further research in this area. Full article

Fractional calculus has been a concept used to obtain new variants of some well-known integral inequalities. In this study, our main goal is to establish the new fractional Hermite–Hadamard, and Simpson’s type estimates by employing a differentiable function. Furthermore, a novel class of fractional integral related to prominent fractional operator (Caputo–Fabrizio) for differentiable convex functions of first order is proven. Then, taking this equality into account as an auxiliary result, some new estimation of the Hermite–Hadamard and Simpson’s type inequalities as generalization is presented. Moreover, few inequalities for concave function are obtained as well. It is observed that newly established outcomes are the extension of comparable inequalities existing in the literature. Additionally, we discuss the applications to special means, matrix inequalities, and the q-digamma function. Full article

The role of fractional integral inequalities is vital in fractional calculus to develop new models and techniques in the most trending sciences. Taking motivation from this fact, we use multiple Erdélyi–Kober (M-E-K) fractional integral operators to establish Minkowski fractional inequalities. Several other new and novel fractional integral inequalities are also established. Compared to the existing results, these fractional integral inequalities are more general and substantial enough to create new and novel results. M-E-K fractional integral operators have been previously applied for other purposes but have never been applied to the subject of this paper. These operators generalize a popular class of fractional integrals; therefore, this approach will open an avenue for new research. The smart properties of these operators urge us to investigate more results using them. Full article

The purpose of the paper is to present new q-parametrized Hermite–Hadamard-like type integral inequalities for functions whose third quantum derivatives in absolute values are s-convex and (α,m)-convex, respectively. Two new q-integral identities are presented for three time q-differentiable functions. These lemmas are used like basic elements in our proofs, along with several important tools like q-power mean inequality, and q-Holder’s inequality. In a special case, a non-trivial example is considered for a specific parameter and this case illustrates the investigated results. We make links between these findings and several previous discoveries from the literature. Full article

This paper presents a novel approach by introducing a set of operators known as the left and right generalized tempered fractional integral operators. These operators are utilized to establish new Hermite–Hadamard inequalities for convex functions as well as the multiplication of two convex functions. Additionally, this paper gives two useful identities involving the generalized tempered fractional integral operator for differentiable functions. By leveraging these identities, our results consist of integral inequalities of the Hermite–Hadamard type, which are specifically designed to accommodate convex functions. Furthermore, this study encompasses the identification of several special cases and the recovery of specific known results through comprehensive research. Lastly, this paper offers a range of applications in areas such as matrices, modified Bessel functions and q-digamma functions. Full article
