Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Inequalities of any type play a very important role in various aspects of mathematical analysis, such as approximation theory and the theory of differential equations. The theory of fractional calculus, which deals with the study and applications of the derivatives and integrals of arbitrary orders, has gained considerable attention due to its numerous applications in the applied sciences.

In recent years, fractional differential equations have been used frequently in the modelling of real systems in numerous fields of applied sciences. To study the existence, uniqueness, and stability of solutions to a system of fractional differential equation inequalities involving derivatives and integrals of arbitrary powers, also known as fractional inequalities, have been used. Additionally, fractional inequalities have been used to find the upper and lower bounds of solutions to a system of fractional differential equations. In addition, fractional inequalities are also used in the fields of probability, numerical quadrature, and many more. Over the years, many authors have established several generalizations of the various classical inequalities to fractional calculus in the literature.

The goal of this Special Issue is to continue to the advancing of the research on mathematical inequalities in fractional calculus by assembling both original research and review articles on the subject and its related topics. Topics that are invited for submission include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Fractional integral inequalities;
  • Inequalities of generalized functions in fractional calculus;
  • Q-calculus;
  • Inequalities in fractional calculus on time scales;
  • Fractional order derivatives;
  • Applications of fractional inequalities;
  • Fractals;
  • Non-local mathematical models;
  • Fractional complicated systems.

Function spaces play a crucial role in the study and application of mathematical inequalities. They provide a structured framework within which inequalities can be formulated, analyzed, and applied. They allow for the extension of inequalities from finite-dimensional spaces to infinite-dimensional contexts, which is crucial in mathematical analysis. In this note, we develop various new bounds and refinements of different well-known inequalities involving Hilbert spaces in a tensor framework as well as mixed Moore norm spaces with variable exponents. The article begins with Newton–Milne-type inequalities for differentiable convex mappings. Our next step is to take advantage of convexity involving arithmetic–geometric means and build various new bounds by utilizing self-adjoint operators of Hilbert spaces in tensorial frameworks for different types of generalized convex mappings. To obtain all these results, we use Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals and develop several new identities for these operator inequalities. Furthermore, we present some examples and consequences for transcendental functions. Moreover, we developed the Hermite–Hadamard inequality in a new and significant way by using mixed-norm Moore spaces with variable exponent functions that have not been developed previously with any other type of function space apart from classical Lebesgue space. Mathematical inequalities supporting tensor Hilbert spaces are rarely examined in the literature, so we believe that this work opens up a whole new avenue in mathematical inequality theory.

In this research, we demonstrate novel Hermite–Hadamard–Mercer fractional integral inequalities using a wide class of fractional integral operators (the Raina fractional operator). Moreover, a new lemma of this type is proved, and new identities are obtained using the definition of convex function. In addition to a detailed derivation of a few special situations, certain known findings are summarized. We also point out that some results in this study, in some special cases, such as setting α=0=φ,γ=1, and w=0,σ(0)=1,λ=1, are more reasonable than those obtained. Finally, it is believed that the technique presented in this paper will encourage additional study in this field. Full article
