1. Introduction
With the extensive content and daily addition of new fractional operators, particularly in recent years, fractional calculus plays a significant role in the subject of inequality theory. Some algebraic features, such as the semigroup property, are present in some of these fractional operators but not in others. In addition, while some of them do not, some of them occasionally have a singularity difficulty. Therefore, the application areas of the operators can differ. The generalizations of fractional integrals have been provided by scholars continuously using various methods. For us, providing a generalization of inequalities that includes all consequences that have so far been demonstrated for various fractional integrals is always interesting and inspiring.
Convex analysis has become one of the important application areas of fractional analysis (see [
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7,
8,
9]). In addition, several mathematicians have studied certain inequalities for convex functions using different types of integral operators (for example, the R-L fractional integral operator, the conformable fractional integral operator, tempered fractional integral operators, generalized proportional integral operators, and generalized proportional Hadamard integral operators). These studies have helped to develop different aspects of operator analysis [
10,
11,
12,
13,
14,
15,
16]. Different from other mapping classes, convex functions have several applications in the areas of optimization theory, probability theory, statistics, mathematics, and applied sciences. Furthermore, its geometric formulation is very important. It is also one of the cornerstones of the theory of inequality and has developed into the main motivating reason behind one variety of inequalities. Convex functions may be used in many fields of mathematical analysis and statistics, but the one in which they have been most successfully used is inequality theory [
17,
18,
19,
20,
21,
22].
First, we recall the elementary notation in convex analysis:
Definition 1. A set is said to be convex iffor each and Definition 2. The mapping is said to be convex if the following inequality holds:for all , and We say that is concave if is convex. The properties and definitions of the convex functions have recently ascribed a significant role to its theory and practice in the field of fractional integral operators.
The following inequality was established in [
23] by Ngo et al.:
and
where
and
and the continuous function on
is such that
Then, Liu et al. established the following inequalities in [
24]:
where
, and
and the continuous function on
is such that
The following two theorems were obtained by Liu in [
25]:
Theorem 1. Let and be continuous and positive functions with on such that is increasing and () is decreasing. If ξ is a convex function, then the inequalityholds where . Theorem 2. Let , and be continuous and positive functions with on such that and are increasing and () is decreasing. If ξ is a convex function, then the inequalityholds where . For functions in , defined as follows, several novel conclusions were obtained:
Definition 3. For if the function κ holdsthen it is said to be in The well-known Minkowski inequality has been presented as follows in the mathematical literature (see [
26]):
Theorem 3. and are positive finite reals for Then, the inequalityholds. L. Bougoffa in [
27] derives the reverse Minkowski inequality for Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals, which is explained as follows:
Theorem 4. Let and , with and If for and every then the inequalityholds where Z. Dahmani provided the reverse Minkowski and Hadamard inequalities utilizing the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral in [
28]. Set et al. presented some inequalities of reverse Minkowski and Hermite–Hadamard involving two functions using the classical Riemann integral in [
29]. Chinchane and Pachpatte established the reverse Minkowski inequality via the Saigo fractional integral operator in [
30]. Vanterler et al. studied the reverse Minkowski inequalities and some other related inequalities by means of the Katugampola fractional integral operator in [
31]. The reverse Minkowski inequality and other fractional inequalities in [
32] were established by Rahman et al. using the generalized proportional fractional integral operators. By taking general kernels into account in [
33], Iqbal et al. were able to achieve novel conclusions for Minkowski and associated inequalities. There are many studies on the reverse Minkowski inequality in the literature. The "Young’s inequality" theorem is as follows (see [
34]):
Theorem 5. Let be an interval with and h be an increasing, continuous function on If , , and stands for the inverse function of then Different forms of Young’s inequality are defined as follows:
In other words, this inequality illustrates the relationship between the geometric and arithmetic means.
2. Preliminaries
The application of fractional integral operators is another method for obtaining extensions of the traditional integral inequalities that are known from the literature. By using different versions of fractional integrals, many extensions, generalizations, and variations of inequalities, such as those of Hermite–Hadamard, Simpson, Ostrowski, Minkowski, Chebyshev, and Grüss, have been obtained.
Now, some fractional integral operators used to obtain integral inequalities will be given. First of them is the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral operator (see [
35]), which is widely used in fractional calculus.
Definition 4. Let and (Riemann–Liouville fractional integral operators) of order with are defined byandrespectively, where Here, The fractional integral becomes the classical integral when . Definition 5. ([36]). Suppose that the function satisfies the conditions given below:where are independent of If is increasing for some and is decreasing for some then Ψ
satisfies (2)–(5). It became important to obtain more general versions of the new results when fractional integral operators were utilized more frequently. As a result, weighted integral operators started to be introduced. While generalized versions of the findings in the literature may also be obtained, novel results are also produced with these operators. The following list includes one of the most useful weighted integral operators lately presented:
Definition 6. ([37]). The generalized weighted-type fractional integral operators, on both the right and left side, are respectively defined by:where These important special cases of the generalized weighted-type fractional integral operators are mentioned below:
Remark 1. In Definition 6:
This article discussed several important inequalities (such as Hadamard, Grüss, Chebyshev, Fejer, and Minkowski types) via the generalized weighted-type fractional integral operators (
6) with increasing, decreasing, positive, continuous, and convex functions. The existing inequalities associated with increasing, decreasing, positive, continuous, and convex functions are also restored by applying specific conditions as given in the remarks. By applying certain conditions on
℘ and
described in the literature, several other varieties of fractional integral inequalities can be established.
The main purpose of this article is to generalize some classical integral inequalities using the generalized weighted-type fractional integral operators. In addition, we used the basic features of mathematical analysis to achieve our main results.
The article is arranged as follows: We recall some of the notations, definitions, results, and introductory facts that were used in

Section 2 and are utilized throughout the remaining chapters of this work. In
Section 3, we introduce some inequalities for convex functions utilizing the generalized weighted-type fractional integral operators. In
Section 4, we give results of the reverse Minkowski inequality, which is the first of our main results. Finally, in
Section 5, we present some other related results involving constant generalized weighted-type fractional integral operators.

6. Conclusions
Mathematical inequalities are of significant importance in the study of mathematics and related fields. Future research on integral inequalities will now be encouraged by these recommendations to examine how integral inequalities can be extended using fractional calculus operators. In this study, first of all, we presented several definitions of fractional integral operators, and then we showed some inequalities utilizing the monotonicity properties of functions for the generalized weighted-type fractional operators. The acquired results reflect an expansion of certain previously published results. Different types of inequalities were also obtained using this operator. We would like to emphasize, in particular, that these operators can be used to obtain new types of integral inequalities and results.
