Skin-care cream is commonly applied to relieve skin redness in radiotherapy. However, using cream on the patient under the photon field would increase the skin dose in delivery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the dependences of skin dose enhancement on different beam and cream variables using Monte Carlo simulation. Using a solid water phantom with water-equivalent bolus, PMMA layer and cream layer, we irradiated it by 6 MV photon beams. Skin doses were calculated by varying the beam quality (flattening-filter (FF) and flattening-filter-free (FFF)), beam angle (0°–80°), skin-care cream type (water-based and silicon-based) and cream thickness (0–3 mm) using the EGSnrc Monte Carlo code. The densities of the water- and silicon-based cream were 0.92 and 1.14 g/cm³. The dose enhancement factor (DEF) defined as the ratio of the skin dose with skin-care cream to the skin dose without cream was calculated. It is found that the FF photon beam had higher DEF value than the FFF. For the water-based cream of 3 mm, the DEF for the FF beam was about 22.1% higher than that of the FFF. While for the silicon-based cream with the same thickness, the DEF was 24.2% higher. DEF value also increased with the beam angle. The DEF values were from 1.4 to 2.52 (water-based cream) and 1.42 to 2.68 (silicon-based cream) when the beam angle was increased from 20° to 80° using the 6 MV FF beams. Similarly, for the 6 MV FFF beams, the DEF values increased from 1.29 to 2.07 and 1.30 to 2.18 for the water- and silicon-based cream. These simulation results showed that the skin dose enhancement increased with an increase of beam angle, cream thickness, cream density, and the irradiation of FFF photon beams.

Abstract

1. Introduction

For a convex function $\sigma:\mathrm{I}\subseteq \bf{R}\to \bf{R}$ on $\mathrm{I}$ with $\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}\in \mathrm{I}$ and $\nu_{1} < \nu_{2}$ , the Hermite-Hadamard inequality is defined by ^[1]:

$\begin{equation} \sigma\left(\frac{\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}}{2}\right) \leq \frac{1}{\nu_{2}-\nu_{1}}\int_{\nu_{1}}^{\nu_{2}}\sigma(\eta)d\eta \leq \frac{\sigma(\nu_{1})+\sigma(\nu_{2})}{2}. \end{equation}$

(1.1)

The Hermite-Hadamard integral inequality (1.1) is one of the most famous and commonly used inequalities. The recently published papers ^[2,3,4] are focused on extending and generalizing the convexity and Hermite-Hadamard inequality.

The situation of the fractional calculus (integrals and derivatives) has won vast popularity and significance throughout the previous five decades or so, due generally to its demonstrated applications in numerous seemingly numerous and great fields of science and engineering ^[5,6,7].

Now, we recall the definitions of Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals.

Definition 1.1 (^[5,6,7]). Let $\sigma\in L_{1}[\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}].$ The Riemann-Liouville integrals $J_{\nu_{1}+}^{\vartheta }\sigma$ and $J_{\nu_{2}-}^{\vartheta }\sigma$ of order $\vartheta > 0$ with $\nu_{1}\geq 0$ are defined by

$\begin{equation} J_{\nu_{1}+}^{\vartheta }\sigma(x) = \frac{1}{\Gamma (\vartheta )}\int_{\nu_{1}}^{x}(x-\eta)^{\vartheta -1}\sigma(\eta)d\eta,\; \ \ \ \nu_{1} < x \end{equation}$

(1.2)

and

$\begin{equation} J_{\nu_{2}-}^{\vartheta }\sigma(x) = \frac{1}{\Gamma (\vartheta )}\int_{x}^{\nu_{2}}(\eta-x)^{\vartheta -1}\sigma(\eta)d\eta,\; \ \ x < \nu_{2}, \end{equation}$

(1.3)

respectively. Here $\Gamma (\vartheta)$ is the well-known Gamma function and $J_{\nu_{1}+}^{0}\sigma(x) = J_{\nu_{2}-}^{0}\sigma(x) = \sigma(x).$

With a huge application of fractional integration and Hermite-Hadamard inequality, many researchers in the field of fractional calculus extended their research to the Hermite-Hadamard inequality, including fractional integration rather than ordinary integration; for example see ^{[8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21]}.

In this paper, we consider the integral inequality of Hermite-Hadamard-Mercer type that relies on the Hermite-Hadamard and Jensen-Mercer inequalities. For this purpose, we recall the Jensen-Mercer inequality: Let $0 < x_{1}\leq x_{2}\leq \cdots\leq x_{n}$ and $\mu = (\mu _{1}, \mu_{2}, \ldots, \mu _{n})$ nonnegative weights such that $\sum_{i = 1}^{n}\mu_{i} = 1$ . Then, the Jensen inequality ^[22,23] is as follows, for a convex function $\sigma$ on the interval $[\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}]$ , we have

$\begin{equation} \sigma\Bigg(\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}\mu _{i}x_{i}\Bigg)\leq \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}\mu _{i}\sigma(x_{i}), \end{equation}$

(1.4)

where for all $x_{i}\in \lbrack \nu_{1}, \nu_{2}]$ and $\mu_{i}\in \lbrack 0, 1]$ , $(i = \overline{1, n})$ .

Theorem 1.1 (^[2,23]). If $\sigma$ is convex function on $[\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}]$ , then

$\begin{equation} \sigma\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\sum\limits^{n}_{i = 1}\mu_{i}x_{i}\right)\leq \sigma(\nu_{1})+\sigma(\nu_{2})-\sum\limits^{n}_{i = 1}\mu_{i}\sigma(x_{i}), \end{equation}$

(1.5)

for each $x_{i}\in[\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}]$ and $\mu_{i}\in[0, 1]$ , $(i = \overline{1, n})$ with $\sum^{n}_{i = 1}\mu_{i} = 1$ . For some results related with Jensen-Mercer inequality, see ^[24,25,26].

In view of above indices, we establish new integral inequalities of Hermite-Hadamard-Mercer type for convex functions via the Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals in the current project. Particularly, we see that our results can cover the previous researches.

2. Main results

Theorem 2.1. For a convex function $\sigma:[\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}]\subseteq \bf{R} \to\bf{R}$ with $x, y\in[\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}]$ , we have:

$\begin{multline} \sigma\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right)\leq \frac{2^{\vartheta -1} \Gamma\left(\vartheta +1\right)}{\left( y-x\right)^{\vartheta}} \Biggl[ J_{\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-y\right)+}^{\vartheta}\sigma\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right) \\ +\; J_{\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-x\right)-}^{\vartheta}\sigma\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right)\Biggr] \leq \sigma\left(\nu_{1}\right)+\sigma\left(\nu_{2}\right)-\frac{\sigma\left(x\right)+\sigma\left(y\right)}{2}. \end{multline}$

(2.1)

Proof. By using the convexity of $\sigma$ , we have

$\begin{equation} \sigma\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{u+v}{2}\right) \leq \frac{1}{2}\left[ \sigma\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-u\right) +\sigma\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-v\right) \right], \end{equation}$

(2.2)

and above with $u = \frac{1-\eta}{2}x+\frac{1+\eta}{2}y$ , $v = \frac{1+\eta}{2}x+\frac{1-\eta}{2}y$ , where $x, y\in[\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}]$ and $\eta\in [0, 1]$ , leads to

$\begin{multline} \sigma\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right)\leq\frac{1}{2} \Biggl[\sigma\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left(\frac{1-\eta}{2}x+\frac{1+\eta}{2}y\right)\right) \\ +\sigma\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left(\frac{1+\eta}{2}x+\frac{1-\eta}{2}y\right)\right)\Biggr]. \end{multline}$

(2.3)

Multiplying both sides of (2.3) by $\eta^{\vartheta -1}$ and then integrating with respect to $\eta$ over $[0, 1]$ , we get

$\begin{align*} \frac{1}{\vartheta }\sigma\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right) &\leq \frac{1}{2}\left[\int_{0}^{1}\eta^{\vartheta-1} \sigma\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left(\frac{1-\eta}{2}x+\frac{1+\eta}{2}y\right)\right)d\eta\right. \\ &+\left. \int_{0}^{1}\eta^{\vartheta -1}\sigma\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left( \frac{1+\eta}{2}x+\frac{1-\eta}{2}y\right)\right)d\eta\right] \\ & = \frac{1}{2}\left[ \frac{2^{\vartheta }}{\left( y-x\right) ^{\vartheta }}\int_{\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-y}^{\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}} \left( \left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right)-w\right) ^{\vartheta -1}\sigma\left( w\right) dw\right. \\ &\left. +\frac{2^{\vartheta}}{\left(y-x\right)^{\vartheta}}\int_{\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}}^{\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-x} \left( w-\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right) \right) ^{\vartheta-1}\sigma\left( w\right) dw\right] \\ & = \frac{2^{\vartheta-1}\Gamma \left(\vartheta\right)}{\left(y-x\right)^{\vartheta}} \left[J_{\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-y\right)+}^{\vartheta}\sigma\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right) +\; J_{\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-x\right)-}^{\vartheta}\sigma\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right) \right], \end{align*}$

and thus the proof of first inequality in (2.1) is completed.

On the other hand, we have by using the Jensen-Mercer inequality:

$\begin{eqnarray} \sigma\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left( \frac{1-\eta}{2}x+\frac{1+\eta}{2}y\right) \right) &\leq &\sigma\left( \nu_{1}\right) +\sigma\left( \nu_{2}\right) -\left( \frac{1-\eta}{2}\sigma\left( x\right) +\frac{1+\eta}{2}\sigma\left( y\right) \right) \end{eqnarray}$

(2.4)

$\begin{eqnarray} \sigma\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left( \frac{1+\eta}{2}x+\frac{1-\eta}{2}y\right) \right) &\leq &\sigma\left( \nu_{1}\right) +\sigma\left( \nu_{2}\right) -\left( \frac{1+\eta}{2}\sigma\left( x\right) +\frac{1-\eta}{2}\sigma\left( y\right) \right). \end{eqnarray}$

(2.5)

Adding inequalities (2.4) and (2.5) to get

$\begin{multline} \sigma\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left( \frac{1-\eta}{2}x+\frac{1+\eta}{2}y\right) \right) +\sigma\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left( \frac{1+\eta}{2}x+\frac{1-\eta}{2}y\right) \right) \\ \leq 2\left[\sigma\left(\nu_{1}\right)+\sigma\left(\nu_{2}\right)\right]-\left[\sigma\left(x\right)+\sigma\left(y\right)\right]. \end{multline}$

(2.6)

Multiplying both sides of (2.6) by $\eta^{\vartheta -1}$ and then integrating with respect to $\eta$ over $[0, 1]$ to obtain

$\begin{multline*} \int_{0}^{1}\eta^{\vartheta -1}\sigma\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left( \frac{1-\eta}{2}x+\frac{1+\eta}{2}y\right) \right)d\eta +\int_{0}^{1}\eta^{\vartheta-1}\sigma\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left(\frac{1+\eta}{2}x+\frac{1-\eta}{2}y\right)\right)d\eta \\ \leq \frac{2}{\vartheta}\left[\sigma\left(\nu_{1}\right)+\sigma\left(\nu_{2}\right)\right] -\frac{1}{\vartheta }\left[ \sigma\left( x\right) +\sigma\left( y\right) \right]. \end{multline*}$

By making use of change of variables and then multiplying by $\frac{\vartheta }{2}$ , we get the second inequality in (2.1).

Remark 2.1. If we choose $\vartheta = 1$ , $x = \nu_{1}$ and $y = \nu_{2}$ in Theorem 2.1, then the inequality (2.1) reduces to (1.1).

Corollary 2.1. Theorem 2.1 with

● $\vartheta = 1$ becomes [24, Theorem 2.1].

● $x = \nu_{1}$ and $y = \nu_{2}$ becomes:

$\begin{align*} \sigma\left(\frac{\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}}{2}\right)\leq\frac{2^{\vartheta-1}\Gamma\left(\vartheta+1\right)}{\left(\nu_{2}-\nu_{1}\right)^{\vartheta}} \left[J_{\nu_{1}+}^{\vartheta }\sigma\left(\frac{\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}}{2}\right)+\; J_{\nu_{2}-}^{\vartheta }\sigma\left(\frac{\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}}{2}\right)\right] \leq \frac{\sigma\left(\nu_{1}\right)+\sigma\left(\nu_{2}\right) }{2}, \end{align*}$

which is obtained by Mohammed and Brevik in ^[10].

The following Lemma linked with the left inequality of (2.1) is useful to obtain our next results.

Lemma 2.1. Let $\sigma:[\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}]\subseteq\bf{R} \to\bf{R}$ be a differentiable function on $(\nu_{1}, \nu_{2})$ and $\sigma'\in L[\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}]$ with $\nu_{1}\leq \nu_{2}$ and $x, y\in[\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}]$ . Then, we have:

$\begin{multline} \frac{2^{\vartheta -1}\Gamma \left( \vartheta +1\right) }{\left( y-x\right)^{\vartheta}} \left[ J_{\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-y\right) +}^{\vartheta }\sigma\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right) +\; J_{\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-x\right)-}^{\vartheta}\sigma\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right)\right] \\ -\sigma\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right) = \frac{\left(y-x\right)}{4}\int_{0}^{1}\eta^{\vartheta} \Bigl[\sigma'\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left(\frac{1-\eta}{2}x+\frac{1+\eta}{2}y\right)\right) \\ -\sigma'\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left(\frac{1+\eta}{2}x+\frac{1-\eta}{2}y\right)\right)\Bigr]d\eta. \end{multline}$

(2.7)

Proof. From right hand side of (2.7), we set

$\begin{align} \varpi_{1}-\varpi_{2}&:= \int_{0}^{1}\eta^{\vartheta}\left[\sigma'\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2} -\left(\frac{1-\eta}{2}x+\frac{1+\eta}{2}y\right)\right) -\sigma'\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left( \frac{1+\eta}{2}x+\frac{1-\eta}{2}y\right)\right)\right]d\eta \\ & = \int_{0}^{1}\eta^{\vartheta }\sigma'\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left(\frac{1-\eta}{2}x+\frac{1+\eta}{2}y\right)\right)d\eta \\ &-\int_{0}^{1}\eta^{\vartheta}\sigma'\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left(\frac{1+\eta}{2}x+\frac{1-\eta}{2}y\right)\right) d\eta. \end{align}$

(2.8)

By integrating by parts with $w = \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left(\frac{1-\eta}{2}x+\frac{1+\eta}{2}y\right)$ , we can deduce:

$\begin{align*} \varpi_{1}& = -\frac{2}{\left( y-x\right) }\sigma\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-y\right)+\frac{2\vartheta }{\left(y-x\right)} \int_{0}^{1}\eta^{\vartheta -1}\sigma\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left( \frac{1-\eta}{2}x+\frac{1+\eta}{2}y\right) \right) d\eta \\ & = -\frac{2}{\left(y-x\right)}\sigma\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-y\right)+\frac{2^{\vartheta+1}\vartheta}{\left(y-x\right)^{\vartheta+1}} \int_{\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-y}^{\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}}\sigma\left(\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right)-w\right)^{\vartheta -1} \sigma\left(w\right) dw \\ & = -\frac{2}{\left(y-x\right)}\sigma\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-y\right) +\frac{2^{\vartheta+1}\Gamma\left(\vartheta+1\right)}{\left( y-x\right) ^{\vartheta +1}} J_{\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-y\right)+}^{\vartheta }\sigma\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right). \end{align*}$

Similarly, we can deduce:

$\begin{equation*} \varpi_{2} = \frac{2}{y-x}\sigma\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-x\right) -\frac{2^{\vartheta+1}\Gamma\left(\vartheta+1\right)}{\left( y-x\right) ^{\vartheta +1}} J_{\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-x\right)-}^{\vartheta }\sigma\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right). \end{equation*}$

By substituting $\varpi_{1}$ and $\varpi_{2}$ in (2.8) and then multiplying by $\frac{\left(y-x\right)}{4}$ , we obtain required identity (2.7).

Corollary 2.2. Lemma 2.1 with

● $\vartheta = 1$ becomes:

$\begin{multline*} \frac{1}{y-x}\int_{\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-y}^{\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-x}\sigma\left(w\right) dw-\sigma\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right) = \frac{\left( y-x\right) }{4}\int_{0}^{1}\eta\left[ \sigma'\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left( \frac{1-\eta}{2}x+\frac{1+\eta}{2}y\right) \right) \right. \\ \left. -\sigma'\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left( \frac{1+\eta}{2}x+\frac{1-\eta}{2}y\right)\right) \right] d\eta. \end{multline*}$

● $\vartheta = 1$ , $x = \nu_{1}$ and $y = \nu_{2}$ becomes:

$\begin{multline*} \frac{1}{\nu_{2}-\nu_{1}}\int_{\nu_{1}}^{\nu_{2}}\sigma\left( w\right) dw-\sigma\left(\frac{\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}}{2}\right) = \frac{\left( \nu_{2}-\nu_{1}\right) }{4}\int_{0}^{1}\eta \left[ \sigma'\left(\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left( \frac{1-\eta}{2}\nu_{1}+\frac{1+\eta}{2}\nu_{2}\right) \right) \right. \\ \left. -\sigma'\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left( \frac{1+\eta}{2}\nu_{1}+\frac{1-\eta}{2}\nu_{2}\right)\right) \right] d\eta. \end{multline*}$

● $x = \nu_{1}$ and $y = \nu_{2}$ becomes:

$\begin{multline*} \frac{2^{\vartheta -1}\Gamma \left( \vartheta +1\right) }{\left( \nu_{2}-\nu_{1}\right)^{\vartheta }} \left[ J_{\nu_{1}+}^{\vartheta }\sigma\left(\frac{\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}}{2}\right) +\; J_{\nu_{2}-}^{\vartheta }\sigma\left(\frac{\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}}{2}\right) \right]-\sigma\left(\frac{\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}}{2}\right) \\ = \frac{\left( \nu_{2}-\nu_{1}\right) }{4}\int_{0}^{1}\eta^{\vartheta } \left[\sigma'\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left( \frac{1-\eta}{2}\nu_{1}+\frac{1+\eta}{2}\nu_{2}\right) \right) \right. \left. -\sigma'\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\left( \frac{1+\eta}{2}\nu_{1}+\frac{1-\eta}{2}\nu_{2}\right) \right) \right] d\eta. \end{multline*}$

Theorem 2.2. Let $\sigma:[\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}]\subseteq\bf{R}\to\bf{R}$ be a differentiable function on $(\nu_{1}, \nu_{2})$ and $|\sigma'|$ is convex on $[\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}]$ with $\nu_{1}\leq \nu_{2}$ and $x, y\in[\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}]$ . Then, we have:

$\begin{multline} \Biggl| \frac{2^{\vartheta -1}\Gamma \left( \vartheta +1\right) }{\left(y-x\right) ^{\vartheta }} \Biggl[ J_{\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-y\right) +}^{\vartheta }\sigma\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right) +\; J_{\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-x\right) -}^{\vartheta }\sigma\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right) \Biggr] \\ -\sigma\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-\frac{x+y}{2}\right)\Biggr| \leq \frac{\left( y-x\right) }{2\left( 1+\vartheta \right) }\left[ \left| \sigma'\left( \nu_{1}\right) \right| +\left| \sigma'\left(\nu_{2}\right) \right| -\frac{\left| \sigma'\left( x\right) \right| +\left| \sigma'\left( y\right) \right| }{2}\right]. \end{multline}$

(2.9)

Proof. By taking modulus of identity (2.7), we get

● The arithmetic mean:

$\mathcal{A}(\nu_{1},\nu_{2}) = \frac{\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}}{2}, \quad \nu_{1}, \nu_{2}\geq 0.$

● The harmonic mean:

$\mathcal{H}(\nu_{1},\nu_{2}) = \frac{2\nu_{1}\nu_{2}}{\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}}, \quad \nu_{1}, \nu_{2} > 0.$

● The logarithmic mean:

$\begin{equation*} \mathcal{L}(\nu_{1},\nu_{2}) = \begin{cases} \frac{\nu_{2}-\nu_{1}}{\ln \nu_{2}-\ln \nu_{1}}, & \text{if}\; \nu_{1}\neq \nu_{2}, \\ \nu_{1}, & \text{if}\; \nu_{1} = \nu_{2}, \end{cases} \quad \nu_{1}, \nu_{2} > 0. \end{equation*}$

● The generalized logarithmic mean:

$\begin{equation*} \mathcal{L}_{n}(\nu_{1},\nu_{2}) = \begin{cases} \left[\frac{\nu_{2}^{n+1}-\nu_{1}^{n+1}}{\left(n+1\right)(\nu_{2}-\nu_{1})}\right]^{\frac{1}{n}}, & \text{if}\; \nu_{1}\neq \nu_{2} \\ \nu_{1}, & \text{if}\; \nu_{1} = \nu_{2}, \end{cases} \quad \nu_{1},\nu_{2} > 0;\; n\in\bf{Z}\setminus \{-1,0\}. \end{equation*}$

Proof. By applying Corollary 2.4 (first item) for convex function $\sigma\left(x\right) = x^{n}, \, x > 0$ , one can obtain the result directly.

Proposition 3.5. Let $0 < \nu_{1} < \nu_{2}$ . Then, for $q > 1, \, \frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q} = 1$ and for all $x, y\in[\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}]$ , we have:

$\begin{multline} \left| \mathcal{L}^{-1}\left( \nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-y,\nu_{1}+\nu_{2}-x\right) -\left( 2\mathcal{A}(\nu_{1},\nu_{2}) -\mathcal{A}\left(x,y\right)\right)^{-1}\right| \\ \leq \frac{\sqrt[q]{2}(y-x)}{4\sqrt[p]{p+1}}\Bigg\{\left[ \mathcal{H}^{-1}\left(\nu_{1}^{2q},\nu_{2}^{2q}\right) -\frac{3}{4}\mathcal{H}^{-1}\left(x^{2q}, 3y^{2q}\right) \right]^{\frac{1}{q}} \\ +\left[\mathcal{H}^{-1}\left(\nu_{1}^{2q},\nu_{2}^{2q}\right) -\frac{3}{4}\mathcal{H}^{-1}\left(3x^{2q}, y^{2q}\right) \right]^{\frac{1}{q}}\Bigg\}. \end{multline}$

(3.6)

Proof. By applying Corollary 2.4 (first item) for the convex function $\sigma\left(x\right) = \frac{1}{x}, \, x > 0$ , one can obtain the result directly.

Proposition 3.6. Let $0 < \nu_{1} < \nu_{2}$ and $n\in\bf{N}$ , $n \geq 2$ . Then, for $q > 1$ and $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q} = 1$ , we have:

$\begin{multline} \left| \mathcal{L}_{n}^{n}(\nu_{1},\nu_{2}) -\mathcal{A}^{n}(\nu_{1},\nu_{2}) \right| \leq \frac{n(\nu_{2}-\nu_{1})}{4\sqrt[p]{p+1}} \Bigg\{\left[ 2\mathcal{A}\left( \nu_{1}^{q(n-1)}, \nu_{2}^{q(n-1)}\right) -\frac{1}{2}\mathcal{A}\left( \nu_{1}^{q(n-1)}, 3\nu_{2}^{q(n-1)}\right) \right]^{\frac{1}{q}} \\ +\left[ 2\mathcal{A}\left( \nu_{1}^{q(n-1)}, \nu_{2}^{q(n-1)}\right) -\frac{1}{2}\mathcal{A}\left(3\nu_{1}^{q(n-1)}, \nu_{2}^{q(n-1)}\right) \right]^{\frac{1}{q}}\Bigg\}, \end{multline}$

$\begin{multline} \left| \mathcal{L}^{-1}(\nu_{1},\nu_{2}) -\mathcal{A}^{-1}(\nu_{1},\nu_{2}) \right| \leq \frac{\sqrt[q]{2}(\nu_{2}-\nu_{1})}{4\sqrt[p]{p+1}} \Bigg\{\left[ \mathcal{H}^{-1}\left( \nu_{1}^{2q}, \nu_{2}^{2q}\right) -\frac{3}{4}\mathcal{H}^{-1}\left(\nu_{1}^{2q}, 3\nu_{2}^{2q}\right) \right]^{\frac{1}{q}} \\ +\left[ \mathcal{H}^{-1}\left( \nu_{1}^{2q}, \nu_{2}^{2q}\right) -\frac{3}{4}\mathcal{H}^{-1}\left(3\nu_{1}^{2q}, \nu_{2}^{2q}\right) \right]^{\frac{1}{q}}\Bigg\}. \end{multline}$

Proof. By setting $x = \nu_{1}$ and $y = \nu_{2}$ in results of Proposition 3.4 and Proposition 3.5, one can obtain the Proposition 3.6.

4. Conclusions

As we emphasized in the introduction, integral inequality is the most important field of mathematical analysis and fractional calculus. By using the well-known Jensen-Mercer and power mean inequalities, we have proved new inequalities of Hermite-Hadamard-Mercer type involving Riemann-Liouville fractional operators. In the last section, we have considered some propositions in the context of special functions; these confirm the efficiency of our results.
