Abstract
Using the generalized Erdélyi-Kober fractional integrals, an attempt is made to establish certain new fractional integral inequalities, related to the weighted version of the Chebyshev functional. The results given earlier by Purohit and Raina (2013) and Dahmani et al. (2011) are special cases of results obtained in present paper.
1 Introduction
Fractional integral 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]-[5] and the references cited therein. Moreover, these inequalities are also playing an important role to interpret the stability of a class of fractional oscillators (see [6]).
The following inequality is well known in the literature as Chebyshev inequality [7]:
If f, g : [a, b] → ℝ+ are absolutely continuous functions, whose first derivatives are bounded and
then
where ||·||∞ denotes the norm in L∞[a, b].
Under suitable assumptions (Chebyshev inequality, Grüss inequality, Minkowski inequality, Hermite-Hadamard inequality, Ostrowski inequality etc.), inequalities are playing a significant role in the field of mathematical sciences, particularly, in the theory of approximations. Therefore, in the literature we found several extensions and generalizations of these classical integral inequalities, including fractional calculus and q-calculus operators also (see [8]-[26]).
Further, a weighted version of the Chebyshev functional (see [7]) is defined as:
where f and g are integrable functions on [a, b] and p(t) is a positive and integrable function on [a, b]. In 2000, Dragomir [27] derived the following inequality, related to the weighted Chebyshev functional (2):
where f, g are differentiable functions and f′ Î Lr(a, b), g′ Î Ls(a, b), r > 1, r−1 + s−1 = 1. The several extensions of inequality (3) are studied by many authors. Recently, Dahmani et al. [28], Purohit and Raina [29], Baleanu et al. [30] and Ntouyas et al. [31] obtained certain generalized Chebyshev type integral inequalities involving various type of fractional integral operators.
In present paper, we add one more dimension to this study by establishing certain integral inequalities for the functional (2) associated with the differentiable functions whose derivatives belong to the space Lp([0, ∞)), involving the generalized Erdélyi-Kober fractional integrals. Further, we also derive certain known and new integral inequalities for the fractional integrals by suitably choosing the special cases of our main results.
2 Fractional calculus
Authors mention the preliminaries and notations of some well-known operators of fractional calculus, which shall be used in the sequel.
The generalized Erdélyi-Kober fractional integral operator Iβη,α of order α for a real-valued continuous function f(t) is defined as (see [32, p. 14, eqn. (1.1.17)]):
where α > 0, β > 0 and η Î ℝ.
Following Kiryakova [32], the generalized Erdélyi-Kober fractional integral operators (4), possess the advantage that a number of generalized integration and differentiation operators happen to be the particular cases of this operator. Some important special cases of the integral operator Iβη,α are mentioned below:
(i) For η = 0, α = n (integer > 0) and β = 1, the operator (4) yields the following ordinary n-fold integrations:
(ii) If we set η = 0 and β = 1, the operator (4) reduces to the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operators with the following relationship:
(iii) Again, for η = 0, α = 1 and β = 1, the operator (4) leads to the Hardy-Littlewood (Cesaro) integration operator:
and its generalization for integers n > m − 1 (when η = n, α = 1 and β = 1), we have
(iv) When β = 1, operator (4) reduces to the fractional integral operator, which was originally considered by Kober [33] and Erdélyi [34]:
(v) Also for β = 2, the operator (4) yields the Erdélyi-Kober fractional integral operator In,α (Sneddon [35]):
(vi) Further, if we set
For a detailed information about fractional integral operator (4) and its more special cases one may refer the book [32, pp. 15-17].
Next, we recall a composition formula of fractional integral (4) with a power function (see also as special case of image formula [32, p. 29, eqn. (1.2.26)]).
3 Fractional integral inequalities
In this section, we obtain certain integral inequality which gives an estimation for the fractional integral of a product in terms of the product of the individual function fractional integrals, involving generalized Erdélyi-Kober fractioal integral operators. We give our results related to the Chebyshev’s functional (2) in the case of differentiable mappings whose derivatives belong to the space Lp([0, ∞)) and satisfy the Holder’s inequality.
Suppose that p be a positive function, f and g be differentiable functions on [0, ∞), f′ Î Lr([0, ∞)), g′ Î Ls([0, ∞)) such that r−1 + s−1 = 1 with r > 1. Then for all t > 0, α > 0, β > 0, η Î ℝ and η > −1:
Proof. Let us define
and
Under the conditions stated in the theorem, we observed that the function F(t, τ) > 0, for all τ Î (0, t) (t > 0). Upon multiplying (14) by F(t, τ)p(τ) and integrating with respect to τ from 0 to t, we get
Next, on multiplying above relation (16) by F(t, ρ)p(ρ), and then integrating with respect to ρ from 0 to t, we obtain
Now, in view of (14), we have
On making use of the Hölder’s inequality, namely
we obtain
Since
and
therefore, inequality (18) reduces to
It follows from (17) that
Again using Hölder’s inequality on the right-hand side of (20), we get
Using the fact that
we get
From (21), we arrived at
Using the relation r−1 + s−1 = 1, the above inequality yields to
On the other hand (17) gives
On making use of (23) and (24), one can easily arrive at the left-hand side of the inequality (13).
Now, to derive the right-hand side of the inequality (13), we have 0 ≤ τ ≤ t, 0 ≤ ρ ≤ t, and therefore,
Evidently, from (23), we obtain
This leads to the proof of Theorem 3.1. □
Next, we establish a further generalization of Theorem 3.1.
Suppose that p is a positive function, f and g are differentiable functions on [0, ∞) and f′ Î Lr([0, ∞)), g′ Î Ls([0, ∞)) such that r > 1 and r−1 + s−1 = 1. Then for all t > 0 the following inequality holds:
Proof. To obtain the desired results, we multiply (16) by
and make integration from 0 to t (with respect to ρ), to obtain
On using (19), the (25) leads to
Making use of the Hölder’s inequality, we readily obtain
Now, one can easily arrive at the left-sided inequality of Theorem 3.2, by taking relations (25) and (27) into account. Further, for 0 ≤ τ ≤ t, 0 ≤ ρ ≤ t, we have
Therefore, from (27), we get
this leads to the proof of Theorem 3.2. □
For β = α, Theorem 3.2 immediately reduces to Theorem 3.1.
4 Special cases
Now, we briefly consider some implications of main results. To this end, if we consider β = 1 (additionally δ = 1 for Theorem 3.2) and make use of the relation (9), the Theorems 3.1 and 3.2 provide the known fractional integral inequalities involving the Erdélyi-Kober operators, due to Purohit and Raina [29]. Again, if we set β = 1, η = 0 (additionally δ = 1 and ζ = 0 for Theorem 3.2), and make use of the relation (6), the main results recover the known results due to Dahmani et al. [28, pp. 39-42, Theorems 3.1 & 3.2].
Further, by setting
Suppose that p is a positive function, f and g are differentiable functions on [0, ∞), f′ Î Lr([0, ∞)), g′ Î Ls([0, ∞)) such that r−1 + s−1 = 1 with r > 1. Then for all t > 0 and α > 0:
Suppose that p is a positive function, f and g are differentiable functions on [0, ∞) and f′ Î Lr([0, ∞)), g′ Î Ls([0, ∞)) such that r > 1 and r−1 + s−1 = 1. Then for all t > 0 the following inequality holds:
Moreover, by using relations (5) to (11) with suitable values of parameters η, α and β, the results established in this paper can generate some interesting inequalities involving the various type of integral operator.
Now, by suitably choosing the function p(t), we consider some examples of our main results. For example, let us set p(t) = tƛ(ƛ Î [0, ∞), t Î (0, ∞)), then Theorems 3.1 and 3.2 yield the following results:
Suppose that f and g are two differentiable functions on [0, ∞) and if f′ Î Lr([0, ∞)), g′ Î Ls([0, ∞)), r > 1, r−1 + s−1 = 1 then for all t > 0, ƛ Î [0, ∞), α > 0, β > 0, η Î ℝ such that ƛ > −β(η + 1):
Let f and g be differentiable functions on [0, ∞) and if f′ Î Lr([0, ∞)), g′ Î Ls([0, ∞)), r > 1, r−1 + s−1 = 1 then
Further, if we put ƛ = 0 in Examples 4.3 and 4.4 (or set p(t) = 1 in Theorems 3.1 and 3.2), we obtain the following results:
Suppose f and g are differentiable functions on [0, ∞) and if f′ Î Lr ([0, ∞)), g′ Î Ls([0, ∞)), r > 1, r−1 + s−1 = 1 then for all t > 0, α > 0, β > 0, η Î ℝ such than η > −1:
Let f and g be two differentiable functions on [0, ∞). If f′ Î Lr([0, ∞)), g′ Î Ls([0, ∞)), r > 1, r−1 + s−1 = 1, then
The results established here are giving some contribution to the theory of integral inequalities and fractional calculus, and may find some applications in the theory of fractional differential equations. Moreover, by virtue of the unified nature of the generalized Erdélyi-Kober operator (4) and arbitray function p(t), one can further deduce number of new fractional integral inequalities involving various fractional calculus operators and special functions, from our main results.
