INEQUALITIES VIA GENERALIZED h-CONVEX FUNCTIONS
Abstract. In the paper, we establish some new Hermite-Hada-mard-Fejer type inequalities via generalized h-convex functions, Toader-like convex functions and their variant forms. Several special cases are also discussed. Results proved in this paper can be viewed as significant new contributions in this field. Key words: Generalized convex functions, generalized h-convex functions, Hermite-Hadamard-Fejer type inequalities, Toader-like convex function

1. Introduction. Let I be an interval and f : I = [a,b] C R ^ R be a function. Then the functions f is convex, if and only if, it satisfies the inequality
which is known as the Hermite-Hadamard inequality (see [10, 11]). It provides estimates of the mean value of continuous convex function. In recent years, it has triggered huge amount of interest and is the one of the most investigated inequality (see [1,3,5,13,26]).
Inequalities are one of the most important tools in many areas of mathematics. Convex analysis is closely related to inequalities and plays a significant role in pure and applied mathematics especially in optimization theory and nonlinear programming due to its symmetry in shape and properties of convex sets and functions. This unique quality allows us to study different problems related to pure and applied sciences. Hence variant new classes has been introduced and investigated by using the concept of convexity (see [1,3,6,8,14-17,23,25]).

A significant generalization of convex functions was the introduction of h-convex functions by Varosanec [28]. She studied the basic properties and proved that h-convex functions include s-convex [2], p-convex [6] and Godunova-Levine [7] functions as special cases. For different properties and other aspects of h-convex functions see [12,24,28].
Gordji et al. [8] introduced an important class of convex functions, which is called ^-convex functions or generalized convex functions. These generalized convex (^-convex) functions are nonconvex functions. For recent developments see [4,9,18-22] and the references therein.
Inspired and motivated by this ongoing research, we consider a new class of generalized convex functions relative to non-negative function h, which is called generalized h-convex and Toader-like convex functions. We derive some new Hermite-Hadamard-Fejer type integral inequalities for generalized h-convex function and generalized Toader-like convex functions. Our results includes a wide class of known and new inequalities as special cases. Results obtained in this paper continue to hold for the various classes of convex functions. The ideas and techniques of this paper inspire further research in this field.
1. Preliminaries. Let I = [a, b] and J be the intervals in real line R, [0,1] C J. Let f : I = [a, b] ^ R and h : J ^ R be two non negative and continuous functions and n(, ■) : R x R ^ R be a continuous bifunction. First of all, we recall the following well known results and concepts.
Definition 1. [8] A function f : I = [a, b] ^ R is said to be a generalized convex function with respect to a bifunction n : R x R ^ R, if
f ((1 - t)a + tb) ^ (1 - t)f (a) + t[f (a) + n(f (b), f (a))],Va, b G I, t G [0,1].
We now consider a new class of generalized convex functions with respect to an arbitrary non-negative function and derive some new integral inequalities. This is the main motivation of this paper.
Definition 2. Let function h : J ^ R be a non-negative function. A function f : I = [a, b] ^ R is said to be a generalized h-convex function in the first sense with respect to a bifunction n : R x R ^ R, if
V a, b G I, t G [0,1]
f ((1 - t)a + tb) ^ h(1 - t)f (a) + h(t)[f (a) + n(f (b), f (a))]. (2) If t = 1, then (2) reduces to
f( ^T6) a( 1) f (a) + h( 1 )[f (a) + n(f (b),f (a))] =
=h( £)[2f (a) + n(f (b),f (a))]. (3)
The function f is known as generalized Jensen h-convex function. We now give an example, which shows that the functions may not be convex, but generalized h-convex functions. Example. Let f : [0,1] ^ R be the function defined by
f (x) = Vx, x G [0,1].
Obviously the function f (x) = y/x is a concave function. We show that this function is a generalized h-convex function. For all x, y, t e [0,1], we have
f ((1 - t)x + ty) = V(1 - t)x + ty =
= V(1 - t)x + t(y - x) + tx ^
+V Vx+Vi (Vy)2 - (Vx)21
=h(1 - t)f (x) + h(t)[f (x) + n(f (y),f (x))],
where h(t) = Vt and n(f(y),f(x)) = y''| (V^)2 - (V^)2 |. Therefore, f is generalized h-convex function.
Note that there is no function n : [0,1] x [0,1] ^ R such that f is n-convex. Indeed, suppose that f is an n-convex function for some n : [0,1] x [0,1] ^ R. Then for all x, y e [0,1], we have
V(1 - t)x + ty ^ (1 - t)Vx + + n(Vy, V^)], t G [0,1].
Let y > 0 be fixed and x = 0. Therefore, we have
vVy ^ tn(Vy,0), t G [0,1],
which implies
V < v^Vy,0), t G [0,1].
Taking limit as t ^ 0, we have y = 0. Contradicting the fact that y > 0. Hence f is not an n-convex function.
Let us discuss some special cases of generalized h-convex function. (I). If n(f (b), f (a)) = f (b) - f (a), then
Definition 3. [27] Let function h : J ^ R be a non-negative function. A non-negative function f : I ^ (0, to) is said to be h-convex, f e SX(h,I), if
f ((1 - t)a + tb) ^ h(1 - t)f (a) + h(t)f (b), Va, b e I, t e [0,1].
(II). If h(t) = t, then Definition 2 reduces to Definition 1.
(III). If h(t) = ts, then
Definition 4. [2] A function f : I = [a, b] ^ R is said to be a generalized s-convex in the second sense for s e (0,1) with respect to a bifunction nO , •) : R x R ^ R, if
f ((1 -t)a + tb) ^ (1 -t)sf (a)+ts[f (a) + n(f (b), f (a))], Va, b e I, t e [0,1].
(IV). If h(t) = 1, then
Definition 5. [8] A function f : I = [a, b] ^ R is said to be a generalized P-convex with respect to a bifunction , •) : R x R ^ R, if
f ((1 - t)a + tb) ^ [f (a)] + [f (a) + n(f (b), f (a))], Va, b e I, t e [0,1].
(V). If h(t) = 1, then
Definition 6. A function f : I = [a,b] ^ R is said to be a generalized Godunova-Levine convex with respect to a bifunction , •):RxR ^ R, if
f ((1-t)a + tb) ^ [f (a)] +1 [f (a) + n(f (b),f (a))], Va,b e I,t e (0,1).
(VI). If h(t) + h(1 -1) = 1, then Definition 2 reduces to
Definition 7. Let h : J ^ R be a non-negative function. A function f : I = [a, b] ^ R is said to be a generalized Toader-like convex function with respect to a bifunction n : R x R ^ R, if
f ((1 - t)a + tb) ^ f (a) + h(t)n(f (b), f (a)), Va, b e I, t e [0,1].
For appropriate and suitable choice of function h, one can obtain several new and known classes of convex functions. This shows that the concept of generalized h-convex function is quite general and unifying one.
2. Main results. In this section, we establish several new integral inequalities of Hermite-Hadamard type for generalized h-convex functions.

Proof. Let f be a generalized h-convex function. Then
f ((1 - t)a + tb)) ^ h(1 - t)[f (a)] + h(t)[f (a) + n(f (b), f (a))]. Using the classical inequality G(a,b) ^ A(a,b), we have
Vf ((1 - t)a + tb)){h(1 - t)[f (a)] + h(t)[f (a) + n(f (b), f (a))]} ^ ^ 2 [f ((1 - t)a + tb)) + {h(1 - t)[f (a)] + h(t)[f (a) + n(f (b), f (a))]}]. which implies that
f ((1 - t)a + tb)){h(1 - t)[f (a)] + h(t) [f (a) + nf (b), f (a))] } f ((1 - t)a + tb)) + {h(1 - t)[f (a)] + h(t) [f (a) + n(f (b),f (a))] }
From this, we have

3. Integral Inequalities. In this section, we obtain some results for the Toader-like convex functions.
Theorem 4. Let h : J ^ R be an integrable and non-negative function such that lim(^ = k; k = 0), and let f : I = [a, b] ^ R be differentiable generalized Toader-like convex function. If u G I is the minimum of Toader-like convex function, then
(f'(u),v - u) ^ 0 ^ kn(f (v),f (u)) ^ 0, Vv G I.
Proof. Let u G I be the minimum of generalized Toader-like convex function on I. Then
f (u) ^ f(v), Vv G I. (16)
Since I is an interval, so Vu, v G I, t G [0,1], we have
vt = u + t(v — u) G I. Replace v by vt in (16), we have
f (u) ^ f (vt) = f (u + t(v — u)). Dividing the above inequality by t and taking limit as t ^ 0, we have
(f'(u),v — u) ^ 0.
This shows that u G I satisfies
(/'(u), v - u) ^ 0 Vu, v G I. (17)
Since / is a generalized Toader-like convex function, we have /((1 - t)u + tv) ^ /(u) + h(t)n(/(v), /(u)), Vu, v G I, t G [0,1], which implies that
/(a + t(v ~ u)) - /(u) ^ Mn(/(v), /(u)). (18)
Taking limit as t ^ 0 on both side of the (18), we have
(/'(u),v - u) ^ kn(/(v),/(u)).
Using (20), implies
kn(/(v),/(u)) ^ 0. This completes the proof. □
Corollary 1. If n(/(v),/(u)) = /(v) - /(u), then, under the assumptions of Theorem 4, we have
(/'(u),v - u) ^ 0 ^ k(/(v) - /(u)) ^ 0.
Corollary 2. If h(t) = t, then, under the assumptions of Theorem 4, we have
(/'(u),v - u) ^ 0 ^ /(v) - /(u) ^ 0.
Theorem 5. Let h : J ^ R be an integrable and non-negative function such that üm(^ = k; k = 0). Suppose that / : I = [a, b] ^ R be a

Proof. Let f be a generalized Toader-like convex function. Then
f ((1 - t)x + ty) ^ f (x) + h(t)n(f (y), f (x)), Vx, y G I, t g [0,1]. This implies that

Taking limit as t ^ 0 on both side of the (19), we have
(f'(x),y - x) ^ kn(f (y),f (x)). (20)
Integrating (20) with respect to y on [a, b] and dividing by (b - a) , we have
b

Similarly, integrating (20) with respect to x on [a,b], we have b b J f'(x)(y - x)dx ^ k y n(f (y), f (x))dx. (21)

Now consider
b b J f'(x)(y - x)dy = J f (x)dx - (y - a)f (a) - (b - y)f (b). (22)
aa
Substituting the value from (22) in (21), we have b b
f f (x)dx ^ k [ n(f (y), f (x))dx + (y - a)f (a) + (b - y)f (b).
