ABSTRACT
In this paper, we use the Hahn integral operator for the description of new generalization of Minkowski’s inequality. The use of this integral operator definitely generalizes the classical Minkowski’s inequality. Our results with this new integral operator have the abilities to be utilized for the analysis of many mathematical problems as applications of the work.
1. Introduction
The application of fractional calculus in scientific fields like engineering, physics, chemistry and many more has increased the attention of researchers to its different aspects. One of the aspects which are nowadays very much popular among the scientists for research is the integral inequalities with applications. In this area, most of the authors are generalizing the standard results in the available literature by using different types/definitions of the fractional integral operators (FIOs) [Citation1–9].
Here, we consider some work recently published in different fields related to the inequalities. For instance, Khan et al. [Citation1] studied an integral inequality for a class of decreasing n positive functions where n ∈ N for the left- and right-fractional conformable integrals. Khan et al. [Citation2] considered new fixed point theorems by the help of integral inequalities for a class of quadruple self-mappings. Chen and Katugampola [Citation3] obtained fractional integral inequalities called Hermite–Hadamard and Hermite–Hadamard–Fejér which generalize the classical cases. Niezgoda [Citation4] studied Minkowski and Gruss-type inequalities. Khan et al. [Citation5] studied existence results and error analysis for a class of fractional-order differential–integral equations. Budak and Sarikaya [Citation6] studied Ostrowski-type inequalities for a class of mappings which are possessing bounded variation and the application for quadrature formulation was also presented. Cerone et al. [Citation7] studied Jensen–Ostrowski-type inequalities for a class of functions of f-divergence measures and provided applications. Erdem et al. [Citation8] studied Ostrowski-type inequalities for a class of mappings whose derivatives of second order are absolutely convex and given some special cases of their inequalities with applications. El-Deeb and Ahmed [Citation9] studied some nonlinear retarded inequalities for Volterra–Fredholm integral equations and provided some applications of their results. Chang and Luor [Citation10] proved retarded integral inequalities and provided its application for the analysis of integral equations.
The applications of inequalities are very much common for fixed point theorems and existence and uniqueness of solutions for differential equations. Here, we highlight two recent results: Baleanu et al. [Citation11] studied existence criteria for the solution of hybrid fractional differential equations and provided some applications using inequalities. Khan et al. [Citation12] used some inequalities and proved existence and Hyers-stability for a class of nonlinear fractional differential equations involving p-Laplacian operator.
In this paper, we use Hahn FIO [Citation13] for the integrable functions to produce Minkowski’s integral inequalities. Our results are more general and applicable than the classical case. We divide the paper in three main sections. This section is for literature review and includes some useful information about the Hahn calculus from [Citation13]. Here, we highlight some relevant definitions from the available literature. In the second section, we give the proofs of our main results. Finally, we prove some results on fractional integral inequalities.
We now give some basic ideas related to the Hahn FIO.
