Abstract.

By making use of the fractional hypergeometric operators, we establish certain new fractional integral inequalities for synchronous functions which are related to the weighted version of the Chebyshev functional. Some consequent results and special cases of the main results are also pointed out.

1. Introduction

Fractional integral inequalities have proved to be one of the most important and powerful tools for the development of many branches of pure and applied mathematics. These inequalities have many applications in numerical quadrature, transform theory, probability, and statistical problems, but the most useful ones are in establishing uniqueness of solutions in fractional boundary value problems. Moreover, they also provide upper and lower bounds to the solutions of the above equations. Therefore, a significant development in the classical and fractional integral inequalities, particularly in analysis, has been witnessed; see, for instance, the papers [1–7] and the references cited therein.

Let the functional

where and are two integrable functions and synchronous on ; that is,

for any ; then the Chebyshev integral inequality [8] is given by . The sign of this inequality is reversed if and are asynchronous on (i.e., , for any ). Under various assumptions (Chebyshev inequalities, Grüss inequality, etc.) [9–11], Chebyshev functionals are useful to give a lower bound or an upper bound for , in the theory of approximations. Therefore, in the literature, we found several papers that analyze extensions and generalizations of these integral inequalities by involving fractional calculus and -calculus operators. One may refer to such type of works in the book [12] and the recent papers [13–24]. A similar type of important role is also played by the Chebyshev polynomials of first and second kind in the theory of approximation. For a detailed account about these polynomials and their generating functions, one can see a recent paper [25] and research monograph by Srivastava and Manocha [26].

For the present paper, let us consider the weighted version of the Chebyshev functional (see [8])

provided that and are two integrable functions on and is a positive and integrable function on . In 2000, Dragomir [27] derived the following inequality:

where are two differentiable functions and , , , . Recently, Dahmani et al. [28] established some integral results related to Chebyshev’s functional (3) in the case of differentiable functions whose derivatives belong to the space , involving Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals. Purohit and Raina [22, 29] added one more dimension to this study by introducing certain new integral inequalities for synchronous functions, involving the Saigo fractional integral operators [30]. Further, Baleanu et al. [24] established certain generalized integral inequalities for synchronous functions that are related to the Chebyshev functional (1) using the fractional hypergeometric operator, introduced by Curiel and Galué [31].

In this paper, we establish certain integral inequalities related to the weighted Chebyshev’s functional (3) in the case of differentiable functions whose derivatives belong to the space , involving fractional hypergeometric operators due to [31]. Later, we develop some integral inequalities for the fractional integrals by suitably choosing the function . Some of the known results due to Dahmani et al. [28] and Purohit and Raina [29] follow as special cases of our findings.

Firstly, we give some necessary definitions and mathematical preliminaries of fractional calculus operators which are used further in this paper.

Definition 1. A real-valued function () is said to be in the space (), if there exists a real number such that , where .

Definition 2. Let , , ; then, a generalized fractional integral (in terms of the Gauss hypergeometric function) of order for a real-valued continuous function is defined by [31] (see also [32])

where the function appearing as a kernel for the operator (5) is the Gaussian hypergeometric function defined by

and is the Pochhammer symbol

It may be noted that the Pochhammer symbol in terms of the gamma function is defined by

where the gamma function [33] is given by

Our results in this paper are based on the following preliminary assertions giving composition formula of fractional integral (5) with a power function.

Lemma 3 (see [24]). Let , , , and ; then, the following image formula for the power function under the operator (5) holds true:

2. Main Results

In this section, we obtain certain integral inequality which gives estimation for the fractional integral of a product in terms of the product of the individual function fractional integrals, involving fractional hypergeometric operators. We give our results related to Chebyshev’s functional (3) in the case of differentiable mappings whose derivatives belong to the space satisfying Holder’s inequality.

Theorem 4. Let be a positive function and let and be two synchronous functions on . If , , , , then (for all , , , , )

Proof. Let and be two synchronous functions; then, using Definition 1, for all , , we define

Consider

We observe that each term of the above series is positive in view of the conditions stated with Theorem 4, and, hence, the function remains positive, for all ().

Multiplying both sides of (12) by (where is given by (13)) and integrating with respect to from to and using (5), we get

Next, on multiplying both sides of (14) by , where is given by (13), and integrating with respect to from to , we can write

In view of (12), we have

Using the following Holder inequality for the double integral:

we obtain

Since

then (18) reduces to

It follows from (15) that

Applying again Holder’s inequality (17) on the right-hand side of (21), we get

In view of the fact that

we get

From (24), we obtain

Since , the above inequality yields

which in view of (15) gives

Making use of (26) and (27), the left-hand side of the inequality (11) follows.

To prove the right-hand side of the inequality (11), we observe that , , and, therefore,

Evidently from (26), we get

which completes the proof of Theorem 4.

The following gives a generalization of Theorem 4.

Theorem 5. Let be a positive function and let and be two synchronous functions on . If , , , , then

for all , , , , , , , , .

Proof. To prove the above theorem, we use inequality (14). Multiplying both sides of (14) by

which remains positive in view of the conditions stated with (30) and then integrating with respect to from to , we get

Now making use of (20), then (32) gives

Applying Holder’s inequality (17) on the right-hand side of (33), we get

which on using (23) readily yields the following inequality:

In view of (32) and (35) and the properties of modulus, one can easily arrive at the left-sided inequality of Theorem 5. Moreover, we have , ; hence,

Therefore, from (35), we get

which completes the proof of Theorem 5.

Remark 6. For , , , and , Theorem 5 immediately reduces to Theorem 4.

3. Consequent Results and Special Cases

As implications of our main results, we consider some consequent results of Theorems 4 and 5 by suitably choosing the function . To this end, let us set ; then, on using (10), Theorems 4 and 5 yield the following results.

Corollary 7. Let and be two synchronous functions on . If , , , , then

where , , , , , , .

Corollary 8. Let and be two synchronous functions on . If , , , , then

for all , , , , , , , , , , .

Further, if we put in Corollaries 7 and 8 (or in Theorems 4 and 5), we obtain the following integral inequalities.

Corollary 9. Let and be two synchronous functions on . If , , , , then

where , , , , .

Corollary 10. Let and be two synchronous functions on . If , , , , then

for all , , , , , , , , .

We now, briefly consider some consequences of the results derived in the previous section. Following Curiel and Galué [31], the operator (5) would reduce immediately to the extensively investigated Saigo, Erdélyi-Kober, and Riemann-Liouville type fractional integral operators, respectively, given by the following relationships (see also [30, 32]):

Now, if we consider (and additionally for Theorem 5) and make use of the relation (42), Theorems 4 and 5 provide, respectively, the known fractional integral inequalities due to Purohit and Raina [29]. Again, if we set and replace by (and and replace by additionally for Theorem 5) and make use of the relation (44), then Theorems 4 and 5 correspond to the known integral inequalities due to Dahmani et al. [28, pages 39–42, Theorems 3.1 to 3.2] involving the Riemann-Liouville type fractional integral operator.

Lastly, we conclude this paper by remarking that we have introduced new general extensions of Chebyshev type inequalities involving fractional integral hypergeometric operators. By suitably specializing the arbitrary function , one can further easily obtain additional integral inequalities involving the Riemann-Liouville, Erdélyi-Kober, and Saigo type fractional integral operators from our main results in Theorems 4 and 5.
