Some Hermite-Hadamard Type Inequalities for Harmonically s-Convex Functions
Abstract
We establish some estimates of the right-hand side of Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for functions whose derivatives absolute values are harmonically s-convex. Several Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for products of two harmonically s-convex functions are also considered.
1. Introduction
Let be a convex function and with ; then Inequality (1) is known as the Hermite-Hadamard inequality.
In [1], Hudzik and Maligranda considered the class of functions which are -convex in the second sense. This class of functions is defined as follows.
A function is said to be -convex in the second sense if the inequality holds for all , and for some fixed .
It can be easily seen that, for , -convexity reduces to ordinary convexity of functions defined on .
In [2], Dragomir and Fitzpatrick established a variant of Hermite-Hadamard inequality which holds for the -convex functions in the second sense.
Theorem 1 (see [2]). Suppose that is an -convex function in the second sense, where and let , . If , then the following inequalities hold:
Some generalizations, improvements, and extensions of inequalities (1) and (3) can be found in the recent papers [2–18].
In [16], İşcan investigated the Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for harmonically convex functions.
Definition 2 (see [16]). Let be a real interval. A function is said to be harmonically convex, if for all and . If the inequality in (4) is reversed, then is said to be harmonically concave.
Theorem 3 (see [16]). Let be a harmonically convex function and with . If , then one has
Theorem 4 (see [16]). Let be a differentiable function on ( is the interior of ), with , and ; then
In [19], İşcan investigated the Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for harmonically -convex functions.
Definition 5 (see [19]). Let be a real interval. A function is said to be harmonically -convex, if for all , and for some fixed . If the inequality in (7) is reversed, then is said to be harmonically -concave.
Theorem 6 (see [19]). Let be a harmonically -convex function and with . If , then one has
In [20], Pachpatte established two new Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for products of convex functions asserted by Theorem 7.
Theorem 7 (see [20]). Let and be real-valued, nonnegative, and convex functions on . Then where and .
For more results concerning the Hermite-Hadamard inequality, we refer the reader to [21–25] and the references cited therein.
In this paper, we establish some estimates of the right-hand side of Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for functions whose derivatives absolute values are harmonically -convex. Moreover, we provide several Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for products of two harmonically -convex functions.

3. Inequalities for Products of Harmonically -Convex Functions
Theorem 10. Let , , , be functions such that . If is harmonically -convex and is harmonically -convex on for some fixed , then where and .
