AMU Morasko soft clay is the normally consolidated, postglacial clayey silty sand to sandy clay, deposited during the last glaciation (Weichselian) within the marginal zone of end moraine of Posnanian Phase. These soils are characterized by low plasticity, high porosity and are fully saturated, therefore, from a geotechnical point of view they can be defined as soft clays. The over 10 meter thick complex of clayey glacial sediments is covered with fine and medium sands with single grains of gravel of the so-called first sandur level from the youngest glaciation. This kind of sediments are very common in the area of north-western Poland and, due to high compressibility, become a problematic subsoil for the shallow foundations. The high porosity and saturation also causes significant problems in obtaining high quality samples for laboratory tests. This means that in situ tests are very often the only possible and economically justifiable test methods. Extended investigations carried out on these clays, which provide reliable correlations between in situ and laboratory test results, will be very useful.
For the purpose of this research paper, a wide variety of in situ (CPTU, DMT, FVT) and laboratory (physical properties, direct shear, oedometer) tests have been carried out on the material found at the depth of up to 16 m, in the area of 8 ha, within the campus of Adam Mickiewicz University (AMU) in Poznań, Poland. Preliminary investigations (performed four years ago) showed high uniformity of the test site. The current laboratory tests were carried out on both high quality natural samples and reconstructed samples. The rate effect on the results of some of the tests was also investigated. The obtained results allowed to present a wide geological and engineering characterization of these interesting glacial deposits.

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.
