Obesity is a complex and multifactorial disease marker, which has become a major threat to cardiovascular health. We sought to assess the correlation of obesity and other cardio-metabolic risk factors in patients seen at the outpatient specialist clinic in Ghana.
A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 395 patients at Precise Specialist Clinic in Kumasi, Ghana. A standardized questionnaire was used to obtain demographic, anthropometric and clinical data of patients. Fisher's exact test for statistical significance at a 95% confidence interval was used to evaluate associations between categorical variables. The associations between obesity indices and cardiovascular disease risk factors were analyzed by Pearson's correlation.
Of the 395 participants, 187 were males and 208 were females. The mean (± standard deviation) age of study participants was 59.29 (± 13.93); more than half of the participants were between 50 and 69 years. The mean BMI of male participants was significantly lower than the mean BMI of female participants (28.18 kg/m2 vs 31.16 kg/m2, P-value < 0.0001). Gender was significantly associated with the weight categories (P = 0.0144). Obesity was seen more in females (49.0%) than in males (35.8%). The Pearson correlation analysis also showed a significant positive correlation between obesity, increasing systolic blood pressure (r = 0.1568, P-value = 0.0018) and increasing diastolic blood pressure (r = 0.2570, P-value < 0.0001).
Obesity was found to be significantly associated with female gender, increasing age, increasing systolic blood pressure, and increasing diastolic blood pressure. Efforts to step-up preventive measures to reduce the increasing prevalence of obesity in Ghana are highly recommended.

The classical Hermite-Hadamard inequality is one of the most well-established inequalities in the theory of convex functions with geometrical interpretation and it has many applications. This inequality may be regarded as a refinement of the concept of convexity. Hermite-Hadamard inequality for convex functions has received renewed attention in recent years and a remarkable refinements and generalizations have been studied [1,2].
The importance of the study of set-valued analysis from a theoretical point of view as well as from their applications is well known. Many advances in set-valued analysis have been motivated by control theory and dynamical games. Optimal control theory and mathematical programming were an engine driving these domains since the dawn of the sixties. Interval analysis is a particular case and it was introduced as an attempt to handle interval uncertainty that appears in many mathematical or computer models of some deterministic real-world phenomena.
Furthermore, a few significant inequalities like Hermite-Hadamard and Ostrowski type inequalities have been established for interval valued functions in recent years. In [3,4], Chalco-Cano et al. established Ostrowski type inequalities for interval valued functions by using Hukuhara derivatives for interval valued functions. In [5], Román-Flores et al. established Minkowski and Beckenbach's inequalities for interval valued functions. For other related results we refer to the readers [6].
In this paper, we establish Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities and He's inequality for interval-valued exponential type pre-invex functions in the Riemann-Liouville interval-valued fractional operator settings.
We begin with recalling some basic concepts and notions in the convex analysis.
Let the space of all intervals of ℜ is ℜc and Λ∈ℜc given by
Λ1=[Λ↔,↔Λ]={v∈ℜ|Λ↔<v<↔Λ},Λ↔,↔Λ∈ℜ. |
Various binary operations are given as follows [7]:
Scalar multiplication: τ∈ℜ,
τ.Λ1={[τΛ↔,τ↔Λ],if0≤τ,0,ifτ=0,[τ↔Λ,τΛ↔],ifτ≤0. |
Difference, addition, product and reciprocal for Λ1,Λ2∈ℜc are respectively given by
Λ1−Λ2=[Λ1↔,↔Λ1]−[Λ2↔,↔Λ2]=[Λ1↔−Λ2↔,↔Λ1−↔Λ2],Λ1+Λ2=[Λ1↔,↔Λ1]+[Λ2↔,↔Λ2]=[Λ1↔+Λ2↔,↔Λ1+↔Λ2],Λ1×Λ2=[min{Λ1↔Λ2↔,↔Λ1Λ2↔,Λ1↔↔Λ2,↔Λ1↔Λ2},max{Λ1↔Λ2↔,↔Λ1Λ2↔,Λ1↔↔Λ2,↔Λ1↔Λ2}]={uv|u∈Λ1,v∈Λ2},1Λ={1v1|0≠v1∈Λ}=[1Λ↔,1↔Λ],Λ1.1Λ2={u.1v|u∈Λ1,0≠v∈Λ2}=[Λ1↔.1↔Λ2,↔Λ1.1↔Λ2]. |
Let ℜΛ,ℜ+Λandℜ−Λ denote the collection of all closed intervals of ℜ, the collection of all positive intervals of ℜ and the collection of all negative intervals of ℜ respectively. In this paper, we examine a few algebraic properties of interval arithmetic.
Definition 2.1. [7] A mapping Ω is called an interval-valued function of υ on [a1,b1] if it assigns a nonempty interval to every v∈[a1,b1], that is
Ω(v)=[↔Ω(v),Ω↔(v)], | (2.1) |
where ↔Ω(υ)andΩ↔(υ) are both real valued functions.
Consider any finite ordered subset ∁ be the partition of [a1,b1], that is
∁:a1=a1,...,an=b1. |
The mesh of ∁ is
mesh(∁)=max{ai+1−ai;i=1,...,n}. |
The Riemann sum of Ω:[a1,b1]→ℜΛ can be defined by
˜S(Ω,∁,c)=Σni=1Ω(di)(ai+1−ai), |
where mesh(∁)<c.
Definition 2.2. [8] A mapping Ω:[a1,b1]→ℜΛ is called an interval-Riemann integrable on [a1,b1]if∃Λ∈ℜΛ such that for every δ>0 satisfying
d(˜S(Ω,∁,c),Λ)<δ, |
we have
Λ1=(IR)∫b1a1Ω(v)dv. | (2.2) |
Lemma 2.1. [9] Let Ω:[a1,b1]→ℜΛ be an interval-valued function as in (2.1), then it is interval-Riemann integrable if and only if
(IR)∫b1a1Ω(v)dv=[(R)∫b1a1↔Ω(v)dv,(R)∫b1a1Ω↔(v)dv]. |
In simple words, Ω is interval-Riemann integrable if and only if ↔Ω(v)andΩ↔(v) are both Riemann integrable functions.
Definition 2.3. [10] Let Ω∈L1[a1,b1], then the Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals of order m>0 with 0≤a1 are defined by
Ima+1Ω(v)=1Γ(m)∫va1(v−r)m−1Ω(r)dr,v>a1, | (2.3) |
Imb−1Ω(v)=1Γ(m)∫b1v(r−v)m−1Ω(r)dr,v<b1. | (2.4) |
Definition 2.4. [11,12] Let Ω:[a1,b1]→ℜΛ be an interval-valued, interval-Riemann integrable function as in (2.1), then the interval Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals of order m>0 with 0≤a1 are defined by
Ima+1Ω(v)=1Γ(m)(IR)∫va1(v−r)m−1Ω(r)dr,v>a1, | (2.5) |
Imb−1Ω(v)=1Γ(m)(IR)∫b1v(r−v)m−1Ω(r)dr,v<b1. | (2.6) |
Corollary 2.1. [12] Let Ω:[a1,b1]→ℜΛ be an interval-valued function as in (2.1) such that ↔Ω(v)andΩ↔(v) are Riemann integrable functions, then
Ima+1Ω(v)=[Ima+1Ω↔(v),Ima+1↔Ω(v)], |
Imb−1Ω(v)=[Imb−1Ω↔(v),Imb−1↔Ω(v)]. |
Definition 2.5. [13] A set Λ⊂ℜn with respect to a vector function η:ℜn×ℜn→ℜn is called an invex set if
b1+τη(a1,b1)∈Λ,∀a1,b1∈Λ,τ1∈[0,1]. |
Definition 2.6. [13] A function Ω on the invex set Λ with respect to a vector function η:Λ×Λ→ℜn is called pre-invex function if
Ω(b1+τη(a1,b1))≤(1−τ)Ω(b1)+τΩ(a1),∀a1,b1∈Λ,τ1∈[0,1]. | (2.7) |
Lemma 2.2. [14,15] If Λ is open and η:Λ×Λ→ℜ, then ∀a1,b1∈Λ,τ,τ1,τ2∈[0,1], we have
η(b1,b1+τη(a1,b1))=−τη(a1,b1), | (2.8) |
η(a1,b1+τη(a1,b1))=(1−τ)η(a1,b1), | (2.9) |
η(b1+τ2η(a1,b1),b1+τ1η(a1,b1))=(τ2−τ1)η(a1,b1). | (2.10) |
In [16], Noor presented Hermite-Hadamard-inequality for pre-invex function, as follows:
Ω(2a1+η(b1,a1)2)≤1η(b1,a1)∫a1+η(b1,a1)a1Ω(v)dv≤Ω(a1)+Ω(b1)2. |
Definition 2.7. [15] Let us consider an interval-valued function Ω on the set Λ, then Ω is pre-invex interval valued function with respect to η on an invex set Λ⊂ℜn with respect to a vector function η:Λ×Λ→ℜn if
Ω(b1+τ1η(a1,b1))⊇(1−τ1)Ω(b1)+τ1Ω(a1),∀a1,b1∈Λ,τ1∈[0,1]. | (2.11) |
Taking motivation from the exponential type convexity proposed in [17], we introduce the following notion:
Definition 2.8. A function Ω on the invex set Λ is called exponential-type pre-invex function with respect to a vector function η:Λ×Λ→ℜn if
Ω(b1+τ1η(a1,b1))≤(e(1−τ1)−1)Ω(b1)+(eτ1−1)Ω(a1),∀a1,b1∈Λ,τ1∈[0,1]. | (2.12) |
It is important to note that a pre-invex function need not to be convex function. For example, the function f(x)=−|x| is not a convex function but it is a pre-invex function with respect to η, where
η(v,u)={u−v,ifu≤0,v≤0,v≥0,u≥0,v−u,otherwise. |
Theorem 2.1. Let Ω:[a1,b1]→ℜ be an exponential-type pre-invex function with respect to a vector function η:Λ×Λ→ℜn. If a1<b1 and Ω∈L[a1,b1], then we have
12(e12−1)Ω(a1+12η(b1,a1))≤1η(b1,a1)∫a1+η(b1,a1)a1Ω(v)dv≤(e−2)[Ω(a1)+Ω(b1)]. |
Proof. At first, from exponential-type-pre-invexity of Ω, we have
Ω(a1+12η(b1,a1))=Ω(12[b1+τ1η(a1,b1)]+12[a1+τ1η(b1,a1)])≤(e12−1)[Ω(b1+τ1η(a1,b1))+Ω(a1+τ1η(b1,a1))]. |
Integrating the above inequality with respect to τ1∈[0,1] yields
Ω(a1+12η(b1,a1))≤(e12−1)(∫10Ω(b1+τ1η(a1,b1))dτ1+∫10Ω(a1+τ1η(b1,a1))dτ1)=2(e12−1)η(b1,a1)∫a1+η(b1,a1)a1Ω(v)dv. |
Now, taking v=b1+τ1η(a1,b1) gives
1η(b1,a1)∫a1+η(b1,a1)a1Ω(v)dv=∫10Ω(b1+τ1η(a1,b1))dτ1≤∫10{(eτ1−1)Ω(a1)+(e(1−τ1)−1)Ω(b1)}dτ1=(e−2)[Ω(a1)+Ω(b1)]. |
This completes the proof.
By merging the concepts of pre-invexity and exponential type pre-invexity, we propose the following notion:
Definition 2.9. Let Λ⊂ℜn be an invex set with respect to a vector function η:Λ×Λ→ℜn. The interval valued function Ω on the set Λ is exponential-type pre-invex interval valued function with respect to η if
Ω(b1+τ1η(a1,b1))⊇(e(1−τ1)−1)Ω(b1)+(eτ1−1)Ω(a1),∀a1,b1∈Λ,τ1∈[0,1]. | (2.13) |
Remark 2.1. In Definition 2.9, by taking h(τ1)=eτ1−1, where h:[0,1]⊂[a1,b1]→ℜ and h≠0, then we get h-pre-invex interval valued function with respect to η, that is
Ω(b1+τ1η(a1,b1))⊇h(1−τ1)Ω(b1)+h(τ1)Ω(a1),∀a1,b1∈Λ,τ1∈[0,1]. | (2.14) |
Remark 2.2. Let Λ⊂ℜn be an invex set with respect to a vector function η:ℜn×ℜn→ℜn. The interval valued function Ω on the set Λ is exponential-type-pre-invex function with respect to η if and only if ↔Ω,Ω↔ are exponential-type pre-invex functions with respect to η, that is
↔Ω(b1+τ1η(a1,b1))≤(e(1−τ1)−1)↔Ω(b1)+(eτ1−1)↔Ω(a1),∀a1,b1∈Λ,τ1∈[0,1], | (2.15) |
Ω↔(b1+τ1η(a1,b1))≤(e(1−τ1)−1)Ω↔(b1)+(eτ1−1)Ω↔(a1),∀a1,b1∈Λ,τ1∈[0,1]. | (2.16) |
Remark 2.3. If ↔Ω(v)=Ω↔(v), then we get (2.12).
Remark 2.4. Since τ1≤eτ1−1 and 1−τ1≤e1−τ1−1 for all τ1∈[0,1], so every nonnegative pre-invex interval valued function with respect to η is also exponential-type pre-invex interval valued function with respect to η.
In this section, we establish fractional Hermite-Hadamard type inequality for interval-valued exponential type pre-invex. The family of Lebesgue measurable interval-valued functions is denoted by L([v1,v2],ℜ0).
Theorem 3.1. Let Λ⊂ℜ be an open invex set with respect to η:Λ×Λ→ℜ and a1,b1∈Λ with a1<a1+η(b1,a1). If Ω:[a1,a1+η(b1,a1)]→ℜ is an exponential type pre-invex interval-valued function such that Ω∈L[a1,a1+η(b1,a1)] and m>0, then we have (considering Lemma 2.2 holds)
1(e12−1)Ω(c1+12η(d1,c1))⊇Γ(m+1)ηm(d1,c1)[Im(c1+η(d1,c1))−Ω(c1)+Imc+1Ω(c1+η(d1,c1))]⊇mP(Ω(c1+η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1)), | (3.1) |
where
P=−1(m+1)(−1)m[(em+e)(−1)mΓ(m+1,1)+(−m−1)Γ(m+1,−1)+((−em−e)(−1)m+m+1)Γ(m+1)+2(−1)m]. | (3.2) |
Proof. Since Ω is an exponential type pre-invex interval-valued function, so
1(e12−1)Ω(a1+12η(b1,a1))⊇[Ω(a1)+Ω(b1)]. |
Taking a1=c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1) and b1=c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1) gives
1(e12−1)Ω(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1)+12η(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1),c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1)))⊇[Ω(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1))], |
implies
1(e12−1)Ω(c1+12η(d1,c1))⊇[Ω(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1))]. |
By multiplying by τm−11 on both sides and integrating over [0,1] with respect to τ1, we get
(IR)∫10τm−111(e12−1)Ω(c1+12η(d1,c1))dτ1⊇(IR)∫10τm−11[Ω(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1))]dτ1, |
(IR)∫10τm−111(e12−1)Ω(c1+12η(d1,c1))dτ1=[(R)∫10τm−111(e12−1)Ω↔(c1+12η(d1,c1))dτ1,(R)∫10τm−111(e12−1)↔Ω(c1+12η(d1,c1))dτ1], |
(IR)∫10τm−111(e12−1)Ω(c1+12η(d1,c1))dτ1=[1m(e12−1)Ω↔(c1+12η(d1,c1)),1m(e12−1)↔Ω(c1+12η(d1,c1))]=1m(e12−1)Ω(c1+12η(d1,c1)), | (3.3) |
(IR)∫10τm−11Ω(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1))=[1ηm(d1,c1)(R)∫c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1)c(i−c)m−1Ω↔(i)di,1ηm(d1,c1)(R)∫c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1)c(i−c)m−1↔Ω(i)di], |
(IR)∫10τm−11Ω(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1))=Γ(m)ηm(d1,c1)[Im(c1+η(d1,c1))−Ω↔(c1),Im(c1+η(d1,c1))−↔Ω(c1)]=Γ(m)ηm(d1,c1)Im(c1+η(d1,c1))−Ω(c1). | (3.4) |
Similarly
(IR)∫10τm−11Ω(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1))=Γ(m)ηm(d1,c1)[Imc+1Ω↔(c1+η(d1,c1)),Imc+1↔Ω(c1+η(d1,c1))]=Γ(m)ηm(d1,c1)Imc+1Ω(c1+η(d1,c1)). | (3.5) |
From (3.3)–(3.5), we get
1m(e12−1)Ω(c1+12η(d1,c1))⊇Γ(m)ηm(d1,c1)[Im(c1+η(d1,c1))−Ω(c1)+Imc+1Ω(c1+η(d1,c1))]. | (3.6) |
Now, from the interval valued exponential type pre-invexity of Ω, we have
Ω(c1+τ1η(d1,c1))=Ω(c1+η(d1,c1)+(1−τ1)η(c1,c1+η(d1,c1)))⊇(eτ1−1)Ω(c1+η(d1,c1))+(e(1−τ1)−1)Ω(c1). | (3.7) |
Similarly
Ω(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1))=Ω(c1+η(d1,c1)+(τ1)η(c1,c1+η(d1,c1)))⊇(e(1−τ1)−1)Ω(c1+η(d1,c1))+(eτ1−1)Ω(c1). | (3.8) |
Thus, by adding (3.7) and (3.8), we get
Ω(c1+τ1η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1))⊇[eτ1+e(1−τ1)−2](Ω(c1+η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1)). |
By multiplying by τm−11 on both sides and integrating over [0,1] with respect to τ1, we get
(IR)∫10τm−11Ω(c1+τ1η(d1,c1))dτ1+(IR)∫10τm−11Ω(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1))dτ1⊇(IR)∫10τm−11[eτ1+e(1−τ1)−2](Ω(c1+η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1))dτ1. |
Now, from (3.2) we get
(IR)∫10τm−11[eτ1+e(1−τ1)−2](Ω(c1+η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1))dτ1=[(R)∫10τm−11[eτ1+e(1−τ1)−2](Ω↔(c1+η(d1,c1))+Ω↔(c1))dτ1,(R)∫10τm−11[eτ1+e(1−τ1)−2](↔Ω(c1+η(d1,c1))+↔Ω(c1))dτ1]=[P(Ω↔(c1+η(d1,c1))+Ω↔(c1)),P(↔Ω(c1+η(d1,c1))+↔Ω(c1))]=P(Ω(c1+η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1)). | (3.9) |
Also from (3.4), (3.5) and (3.9), we get
Γ(m)ηm(d1,c1)[Im(c1+η(d1,c1))−Ω(c1)+Imc+1Ω(c1+η(d1,c1))]⊇P(Ω(c1+η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1)). | (3.10) |
Combining (3.6) and (3.10), we get
1(e12−1)Ω(c1+12η(d1,c1))⊇Γ(m+1)ηm(d1,c1)[Im(c1+η(d1,c1))−Ω(c1)+Imc+1Ω(c1+η(d1,c1))]⊇mP(Ω(c1+η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1)). |
Corollary 3.1. If ↔Ω(v)=Ω↔(v), then (3.1) leads to the following fractional inequality for exponential type pre-invex function:
1(e12−1)Ω(c1+12η(d1,c1))≤Γ(m+1)ηm(d1,c1)[Im(c1+η(d1,c1))−Ω(c1)+Imc+1Ω(c1+η(d1,c1))]≤mP(Ω(c1+η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1)). |
Theorem 3.2. Let Λ⊂ℜ be an open invex set with respect to η:Λ×Λ→ℜ and a1,b1∈Λ with a1<a1+η(b1,a1). If Ω,Ω1:[a1,a1+η(b1,a1)]→ℜ are exponential type pre-invex interval-valued functions such that Ω,Ω1∈L[a1,a1+η(b1,a1)] and m>0, then we have (considering Lemma 2.2 holds)
Γ(m)ηm(d1,c1)[Im(c1+η(d1,c1))−Ω(c1).Ω1(c1)+Imc+1Ω(c1+η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+η(d1,c1))]⊇P1Υ1(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))+2P2Υ2(a1,a1+η(b1,a1)), | (3.11) |
where
P1=e2Γ(m)−e2Γ(m,2)2m+2eΓ(m,1)+2Γ(m,−1)−2Γ(m)(−1)m+Γ(m)−Γ(m,−2)(−1)m⋅2m−2eΓ(m)+2m, | (3.12) |
P2=eΓ(m,1)+Γ(m,−1)(−1)m−Γ(m)(−1)m−eΓ(m)+em+1m, | (3.13) |
Υ1(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))=[Ω(a1+η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1+η(b1,a1))+Ω(a1).Ω1(a1)], | (3.14) |
and
Υ2(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))=[Ω(a1+η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1)+Ω(a1).Ω1(a1+η(b1,a1))]. | (3.15) |
Proof. Since ΩandΩ1 are exponential type pre-invex interval-valued functions, so we have
Ω(a1+τ1η(b1,a1))=Ω(a1+η(b1,a1)+(1−τ1)η(a1,a1+η(b1,a1)))⊇(eτ1−1)Ω(a1+η(b1,a1))+(e(1−τ1)−1)Ω(a1) |
and
Ω1(a1+τ1η(b1,a1))=Ω1(a1+η(b1,a1)+(1−τ1)η(a1,a1+η(b1,a1)))⊇(eτ1−1)Ω1(a1+η(b1,a1))+(e(1−τ1)−1)Ω1(a1). |
Since Ω,Ω1∈ℜ+Λ, so
Ω(a1+τ1η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1+τ1η(b1,a1))⊇(eτ1−1)2Ω(a1+η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1+η(b1,a1))+(e(1−τ1)−1)2Ω(a1).Ω1(a1)+(eτ1−1)(e(1−τ1)−1)[Ω(a1+η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1)+Ω(a1).Ω1(a1+η(b1,a1))]. | (3.16) |
Similarly, we have
Ω(a1+(1−τ1)η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1+(1−τ1)η(b1,a1))⊇(e(1−τ1)−1)2Ω(a1+η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1+η(b1,a1))+(eτ1−1)2Ω(a1).Ω1(a1)+(eτ1−1)(e(1−τ1)−1)[Ω(a1+η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1)+Ω(a1).Ω1(a1+η(b1,a1))]. | (3.17) |
Adding (3.16) and (3.17) yields
Ω(a1+τ1η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1+τ1η(b1,a1))+Ω(a1+(1−τ1)η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1+(1−τ1)η(b1,a1))⊇[(e(1−τ1)−1)2+(eτ1−1)2][Ω(a1+η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1+η(b1,a1))+Ω(a1).Ω1(a1)]+2(eτ1−1)(e(1−τ1)−1)[Ω(a1+η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1)+Ω(a1).Ω1(a1+η(b1,a1))]. |
From (3.14) and (3.15), we have
Ω(a1+τ1η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1+τ1η(b1,a1))+Ω(a1+(1−τ1)η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1+(1−τ1)η(b1,a1))⊇[(e(1−τ1)−1)2+(eτ1−1)2]Υ1(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))+2(eτ1−1)(e(1−τ1)−1)Υ2(a1,a1+η(b1,a1)). |
Multiplying by τm−11 on both sides and integrating over [0,1] with respect to τ1 gives
(IR)∫10τm−11Ω(a1+τ1η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1+τ1η(b1,a1))dτ1+(IR)∫10τm−11Ω(a1+(1−τ1)η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1+(1−τ1)η(b1,a1))dτ1⊇(IR)∫10τm−11[(e(1−τ1)−1)2+(eτ1−1)2]Υ1(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))dτ1+2(IR)∫10τm−11(eτ1−1)(e(1−τ1)−1)Υ2(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))dτ1. |
So
(IR)∫10τm−11Ω(a1+τ1η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1+τ1η(b1,a1))dτ1=Γ(m)ηm(d1,c1)Im(c1+η(d1,c1))−Ω(c1).Ω1(c1) |
and
(IR)∫10τm−11Ω(a1+(1−τ1)η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1+(1−τ1)η(b1,a1))dτ1=Γ(m)ηm(d1,c1)Imc+1Ω(c1+η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+η(d1,c1)). |
From (3.12) and (3.13), we get
(IR)∫10τm−11[(e(1−τ1)−1)2+(eτ1−1)2]Υ1(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))dτ1=P1Υ1(a1,a1+η(b1,a1)) |
and
(IR)∫10τm−11(eτ1−1)(e(1−τ1)−1)Υ2(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))dτ1=P2Υ2(a1,a1+η(b1,a1)). |
Thus,
Γ(m)ηm(d1,c1)[Im(c1+η(d1,c1))−Ω(c1).Ω1(c1)+Imc+1Ω(c1+η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+η(d1,c1))]⊇P1Υ1(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))+2P2Υ2(a1,a1+η(b1,a1)). |
Corollary 3.2. If ↔Ω(v)=Ω↔(v), then (3.11) leads to the following fractional inequality for exponential type pre-invex function:
Γ(m)ηm(d1,c1)[Im(c1+η(d1,c1))−Ω(c1).Ω1(c1)+Imc+1Ω(c1+η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+η(d1,c1))]≤P1Υ1(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))+2P2Υ2(a1,a1+η(b1,a1)). |
Theorem 3.3. Let Λ⊂ℜ be an open invex set with respect to η:Λ×Λ→ℜ and a1,b1∈Λ with a1<a1+η(b1,a1). If Ω,Ω1:[a1,a1+η(b1,a1)]→ℜ are exponential type pre-invex interval-valued functions such that Ω,Ω1∈L[a1,a1+η(b1,a1)] and m>0, then from (3.12)–(3.15), we have (considering Lemma 2.2 holds)
Ω(c1+12η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+12η(d1,c1))⊇(e12−1)2[mP1Υ2(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))+mP2Υ1(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))+Γ(m+1)ηm(d1,c1)[Imc+1Ω(c1+η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+η(d1,c1))+Im(c1+η(d1,c1))−Ω(c1).Ω1(c1)]]. | (3.18) |
Proof. Since Ω is an exponential type pre-invex interval-valued function, so we have
Ω(a1+12η(b1,a1))⊇(e12−1)[Ω(a1)+Ω(b1)]. |
Taking a1=c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1) and b1=c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1) gives
Ω(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1)+12η(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1),c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1)))⊇(e12−1)[Ω(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1))], |
implies
Ω(c1+12η(d1,c1))⊇(e12−1)[Ω(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1))]. | (3.19) |
Similarly
Ω1(c1+12η(d1,c1))⊇(e12−1)[Ω1(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1))+Ω1(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1))]. | (3.20) |
Multiplying (3.19) and (3.20) gives
Ω(c1+12η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+12η(d1,c1))⊇(e12−1)2[Ω(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1))]. | (3.21) |
Since Ω,Ω1∈ℜ+Λ, are exponential type pre-invex interval-valued functions for τ1∈[0,1], so we have
Ω(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1))⊇(e(1−τ1)−1)2Ω(a1+η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1)+(eτ1−1)2Ω(a1).Ω1(a1+η(b1,a1))+(eτ1−1)(e(1−τ1)−1)[Ω(a1+η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1+η(b1,a1))+Ω(a1).Ω1(a1)]. | (3.22) |
Similarly
Ω(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1))⊇(eτ1−1)2Ω(a1+η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1)+(e(1−τ1)−1)2Ω(a1).Ω1(a1+η(b1,a1))+(eτ1−1)(e(1−τ1)−1)[Ω(a1+η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1+η(b1,a1))+Ω(a1).Ω1(a1)]. | (3.23) |
Adding (3.22) and (3.23) yields
Ω(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1))⊇[(eτ1−1)2+(e(1−τ1)−1)2](Ω(a1+η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1)+Ω(a1).Ω1(a1+η(b1,a1)))+2(eτ1−1)(e(1−τ1)−1)[Ω(a1+η(b1,a1)).Ω1(a1+η(b1,a1))+Ω(a1).Ω1(a1)]. |
Now from (3.21), we can write
Ω(c1+12η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+12η(d1,c1))⊇(e12−1)2[[(eτ1−1)2+(e(1−τ1)−1)2]Υ2(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))+2(eτ1−1)(e(1−τ1)−1)Υ1(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))+Ω(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1))+Ω(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1))]. |
Multiplying by τm−11 on both sides and integrating over [0,1] with respect to τ1 yields
(IR)∫10τm−11Ω(c1+12η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+12η(d1,c1))dτ1⊇(e12−1)2[(IR)∫10τm−11[(eτ1−1)2+(e(1−τ1)−1)2]Υ2(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))dτ1+2(IR)∫10τm−11(eτ1−1)(e(1−τ1)−1)Υ1(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))dτ1+(IR)∫10τm−11Ω(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+(1−τ1)η(d1,c1))dτ1+(IR)∫10τm−11Ω(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+(τ1)η(d1,c1))dτ1]. |
Thus from (3.12)–(3.15), we get
Ω(c1+12η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+12η(d1,c1))⊇(e12−1)2[mP1Υ2(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))+mP2Υ1(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))+Γ(m+1)ηm(d1,c1)[Imc+1Ω(c1+η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+η(d1,c1))+Im(c1+η(d1,c1))−Ω(c1).Ω1(c1)]]. |
Corollary 3.3. If ↔Ω(v)=Ω↔(v), then (3.18) leads to the following fractional inequality for exponential type pre-invex function:
Ω(c1+12η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+12η(d1,c1))≤(e12−1)2[mP1Υ2(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))+mP2Υ1(a1,a1+η(b1,a1))+Γ(m+1)ηm(d1,c1)[Imc+1Ω(c1+η(d1,c1)).Ω1(c1+η(d1,c1))+Im(c1+η(d1,c1))−Ω(c1).Ω1(c1)]]. |
In this section, we establish Hermite-hadamard type inequality in the setting of the He's fractional derivatives introduced in [18].
Definition 4.1. Let Ω be an L1 function defined on an interval [0,n1]. Then the k1-th He's fractional derivative of Ω(n1) is defined by
Ik1n1Ω(n1)=1Γ(i−k1)didni1∫n10(τ1−n)i−k1−1Ω(τ1)dτ1. |
The interval He's fractional derivative based on left and right end point functions can be defined by
Ik1n1Ω(n1)=1Γ(i−k1)didni1∫n10(τ1−n)i−k1−1Ω(τ1)dτ1=1Γ(i−k1)didni1∫n10(τ1−n)i−k1−1[Ω↔(τ1),↔Ω(τ1)]dτ1,n>n1, |
where
Ik1n1Ω↔(n1)=1Γ(i−k1)didni1∫n10(τ1−n)i−k1−1Ω↔(τ1)dτ1,n>n1 | (4.1) |
and
Ik1n1↔Ω(n1)=1Γ(i−k1)didni1∫n10(τ1−n)i−k1−1↔Ω(τ1)dτ1,n>n1. | (4.2) |
Theorem 4.1. Let Ω:[n1,n2]→ℜ be an exponential type pre-invex interval-valued function defined on [n1,n2]⊂Λ, where Λ is an open invex set with respect to η:Λ×Λ→ℜ and Ω:[n1,n2]⊂ℜ→ℜ+c is given by Ω(n)=[Ω↔(n),↔Ω(n)] for all n∈[n1,n2]. If Ω∈L1([n1,n2],ℜ), then
(−1)i−k1−1Ω(n12)⊇(e12−1)nk1ni−k12[(−1)i−k1−1Ik1(1−n)bΩ((1−n)b)+Ik1nbΩ(nb)]. | (4.3) |
Proof. Let Ω:[n1,n2]→ℜ be an exponential type pre-invex interval-valued function defined on [n1,n2], then
Ω(n1+12η(n2,n1))⊇(e12−1)[Ω(n2+τ1η(n1,n2))+Ω(n1+τ1η(n2,n1))] |
and
Ω↔(n1+12η(n2,n1))≤(e12−1)[Ω↔(n2+τ1η(n1,n2))+Ω↔(n1+τ1η(n2,n1))]. |
Taking n2=0,0≤n1 and multiplying by (τ1−n)i−k1−1Γ(i−k1), we get
(τ1−n)i−k1−1Γ(i−k1)Ω↔(n12)≤(e12−1)(τ1−n)i−k1−1Γ(i−k1)[Ω↔((1−τ1)n1)+Ω↔(τ1n1)]. |
Integrating with respect to τ1 over [0,n1] gives
Ω↔(n12)1Γ(i−k1)∫n10(τ1−n)i−k1−1dτ1≤(e12−1)Γ(i−k1)∫n10(τ1−n)i−k1−1Ω↔((1−τ1)n1)dτ1+(e12−1)Γ(i−k1)∫n10(τ1−n)i−k1−1Ω↔(τ1n1)dτ1, |
implies
Ω↔(n12)(−1)i−k1−1ni−k1Γ(i−k1)≤(e12−1)Γ(i−k1)∫n10(τ1−n)i−k1−1Ω↔((1−τ1)n1)dτ1+(e12−1)Γ(i−k1)∫n10(τ1−n)i−k1−1Ω↔(τ1n1)dτ1. |
Getting i-th derivative on both sides and using (4.1), we get
(−1)i−k1−1Ω↔(n12)≤(e12−1)nk1ni−k11[(−1)i−k1−1Ik1(1−n)bΩ↔((1−n)b)+Ik1nbΩ↔(nb)]. |
Similarly
(−1)i−k1−1↔Ω(n12)≤(e12−1)nk1ni−k11[(−1)i−k1−1Ik1(1−n)b↔Ω((1−n)b)+Ik1nb↔Ω(nb)]. |
Thus, we can write
(−1)i−k1−1[Ω↔(n12),↔Ω(n12)]⊇(e12−1)nk1ni−k11[(−1)i−k1−1Ik1(1−n)b[Ω↔((1−n)b),↔Ω((1−n)b)]+Ik1nb[Ω↔(nb),↔Ω(nb)]]. |
So,
(−1)i−k1−1Ω(n12)⊇(e12−1)nk1ni−k11[(−1)i−k1−1Ik1(1−n)bΩ((1−n)b)+Ik1nbΩ(nb)]. |
Corollary 4.1. If ↔Ω(v)=Ω↔(v), then (4.3) leads to the following fractional inequality for exponential type pre-invex function:
(−1)i−k1−1Ω(n12)≤(e12−1)nk1ni−k11[(−1)i−k1−1Ik1(1−n)bΩ((1−n)b)+Ik1nbΩ(nb)]. |
In this paper we studied the interval-valued exponential type pre-invex functions. We established He's and Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for interval-valued exponential type pre-invex functions in the setting of Riemann-Liouville interval-valued fractional operator.
