1. Introduction
The concept of convexity and its variants plays a fundamental and important role in the development of various fields of science and engineering in a direct or indirect way. This concept has a closed relationship in the development of the theory of inequalities, which is an important tool in the study of some qualitative properties of solutions for differential and integral equations as well as in numerical analysis for estimating the errors in quadrature formulas. Noting that the most used methods for evaluating the integrals by a numerical approach is that of Newton–Cotes, which comprises a group of formulas involving a certain numbers of equally spaced points.
Definition 1 ([

In this paper, by adopting a novel approach, we establish some dual Simpson-type inequalities for functions whose first derivatives are s-convex. The cases where the first derivatives are bounded as well as Lipschitzian functions are also discussed. Applications of the results are given.

5. Conclusions
Many practical studies and engineering problems often lead to calculations of integrals, most of which cannot be solved directly, requiring us to evaluate them by different quadrature rules, hence the need to estimate the error made to better circumvent and manage the problem. Thus, in this work, we have considered the dual Simpson quadrature rule. We have firstly established a novel identity. Based on this identity, we have derived some new dual Simpson type integral inequalities for functions whose first derivatives are -convex. We have also discussed the above-mentioned inequality when the first derivatives lie in the classes of bounded and Lipschitzian functions. We have provided at the end some applications to quadrature formulas and special means. We hope that the obtained results stimulate further research, as well as generalizations in various other types of calculus in this interesting field.
