Abstract
In this article, we introduce the concept of -convex stochastic processes on coordinates and establish Hermite-Hadamard-type inequality for these stochastic processes. Moreover, we prove new integral inequality of Hermite-Hadamard-Fejér type for newly defined coordinated
-convex stochastic processes on a rectangle. The results presented in this article would provide extensions of those given in earlier works.
1 Introduction
Convex sets and convex functions play an important role in applied mathematics, particularly in non linear programming and optimization theory. Many efforts have been made by researchers to generalize and extend the notion of convex functions. Gordji, Delavar, and Dragomir (Citation2015) introduced the idea of -convex functions as generalization of convex functions and investigated Hermite-Hadamard (H-H), Fejér, Jensen, and Slater-type inequalities for these functions. Yaldi̇z, Sari̇kaya, and Dahmani (Citation2017) obtained new fractional H-H-Fejér-type integral inequalities for coordinated convex functions on a rectangle of
. Further, Zaheer Ullah, Adil Khan, and Chu (Citation2019) defined the generalized class of convex functions named as coordinate
-convex function and established H-H inequality for the class of these functions. They showed that every
-convex function defined on a rectangle is coordinated
-convex but the converse is not true in general. For more details on generalization of convexity, we can see Alomari and Darus (Citation2009); Gordji, Delavar, and De La Sen (Citation2016); Sharma, Bisht, and Mishra (Citation2020); and Sharma et al. (Citation2019).
Over the past decades, the study of stochastic processes is rapidly expanding, with increasing applications in numerous scientific fields. This subject has received enormous support outside of mathematics from such diverse fields as physics, control theory, information theory, biology, signal processing, statistics, computer science, telecommunications, and cryptography (see Allen Citation2010; Bhattacharya and Waymire Citation2009; Sobczyk Citation2001 and their references). Nikodem (Citation1980) gave the concept of convex stochastic processes and showed that every measurable convex stochastic process is continuous. Further, many researchers investigated the properties of convex stochastic processes which generalize some known properties of convex functions (Skowroński Citation1992, Citation1995). Kotrys (Citation2012) extended the classical H-H inequality to convex stochastic process. Let be a Jensen-convex, mean square continuous in interval
, then
which is H-H inequality for convex stochastic process.
Maden, Tomar, and Set (Citation2015) and Set, Tomar, and Maden (Citation2014) presented s-convex stochastic processes and investigated relation between s-convex stochastic processes and convex stochastic processes. In 2014, Barráez et al. (Citation2015) extended the class of h-convex functions to h-convex stochastic processs and presented Jensen-type inequality for these processes. Further, Set, Sari̇kaya, and Tomar (Citation2015) presented convex stochastic processes on coordinates and proved H-H-type inequalities for coordinated convex stochastic processes. Karahan, Nurgül, and İ can (Citation2018) considered convex stochastic processes on n-dimensional interval and dervied H-H-type inequality for convex stochastic processes on n-coordinates. For more results related to stochastic processes, we refer Fu et al. (Citation2021); Kotrys (Citation2015); Okur and Aliyev (Citation2021); Okur, Iscan, and Usta (Citation2018); Sharma, Mishra, and Hamdi (Citation2022a) and their references.
Recently, Jung et al. (2021) introduced the notion of -convex stochastic processes and derived H-H and Jensen-type inequality for these type of stochastic processes. Sharma, Mishra, and Hamdi (Citation2022b) introduced the concept of strongly
-convex stochastic processes and proved the H-H and Ostrowski-type inequality for these generalized convex stochastic processes.
The above new developments in the field of stochastic convexity have inspired us to introduce a new class of convex stochastic processes named as -convex stochastic processes on coordinates and obtained the generalization and extension of H-H-type inequality for these stochastic processes. Moreover, we derive H-H-Fejér-type inequality for coordinated
-convex stochastic processes. The results presented in this research article are the generalization and extension of earlier studies.
The presentation sequence of this article is as follows: Section 2 recall some basic definitions and results required for this paper. In Section 3, we define -convex stochastic processes on coordinates and derive H-H inequality for these stochastic processes. We also obtain H-H-Fejér-type inequality for coordinated
-convex stochastic processes. Some special cases of our main results are also discussed in this section. In Section 4, conclusion of the proposed work is given.

Thus the statement is proved. □

-convex stochastic process on
is
-convex on the coordinates. Further, we have established H-H-Fejér inequality for coordinated
-convex stochastic process. In the similar way, readers can generalize the concept of other type of stochastic convexity on coordinates.
