Some New Bullen-Type Inequalities Obtained via Fractional Integral Operators

Abstract

In this paper, we establish a new auxiliary identity of the Bullen type for twice-differentiable functions in terms of fractional integral operators. Based on this new identity, some generalized Bullen-type inequalities are obtained by employing convexity properties. Concrete examples are given to illustrate the results, and the correctness is confirmed by graphical analysis. An analysis is provided on the estimations of bounds. According to calculations, improved Hölder and power mean inequalities give better upper-bound results than classical inequalities. Lastly, some applications to quadrature rules, modified Bessel functions and digamma functions are provided as well.
