Abstract

In this paper, we study the generalized Riemann–Liouville fractional integral for the functions with fractal support. The aim of this article is to investigate reverse Minkowski’s inequalities and certain other related inequalities by employing the generalized Riemann–Liouville fractional integral for the functions with fractal support.

1. Introduction

Fractional calculus involves integrals and derivatives of arbitrary order. The applications of fractional calculus have been found in the field of several sciences and engineering [18]. In [1, 2], the nonlocal fractional integrals and derivatives are utilized to model the processes with memory effect. In [911], the researchers used the nonlocal derivatives to model more appropriately the dynamics of the nonconservative systems in formulation of Hamilton and Lagrange.

Fractal analysis has been studied by many researchers by using measure theory, harmonic analysis, stochastic process, fractional spaces, and other techniques [1235].

Recently, Parvate and Gangal [3641] proposed the -calculus on the fractal subset of real line and fractal curves. The researchers have applied transport materials on disordered systems such as fractal sets and fractal curves [4244]. In [45], the researchers established Schrödinger’s equation on a fractal curve.

Such new developments in fractional calculus encourage future research to investigate new innovative ideas to unify the fractional operators and establish inequalities involving new fractional operators. The fractional integral inequalities (FII in short) and their applications play an important role in the field of applied mathematics. A wide number of integral inequalities and their extensions were built in the sense of classical fractional integral and fractional derivative operators (see, e.g., [4650]).

The inequalities, especially the Hölder, the reverse Minkowski, the arithmetic, and geometric inequalities, have played a key role in the field of both pure as well as applied mathematics. These and several other essential inequalities are now in common use and, therefore, it is not surprising that several studies associated to these areas have been made in order to accomplish a diversity of desired goals. In the past few decades, the theory of inequalities has established rapidly and unexpected results were investigated, along with simpler new proofs for existing results, and, accordingly, new direction for research has been opened up. Recently, the theory of inequalities has gained more considerable interest from many mathematicians, and a large number of new inequalities have been estimated in the literature. It is recognized that, in general, some specific inequalities provide a useful and important device in the development of different branches of mathematics. In [51], Dahmani has investigated the reverse Minkowski fractional integral inequalities. Sousa and Capelas de Oliveira [52] have investigated the reverse Minkowski inequalities and certain other related inequalities for Katugampola fractional Integral operators. In [53, 54], the authors have studied the reverse Minkowski inequalities by considering Hadamard fractional integral operators. In this present article, we study the said inequalities by considering the generalized Riemann–Liouville fractional integral for the functions with fractal support.

The structure of the paper is follows.

In Section 2, we have given some known results and basic definitions. In Section 3, the nonlocal reverse Minkowski inequalities are presented for nonlocal fractal integrals on fractal subset of real line. In Section 4, some other related inequalities for nonlocal fractal integrals on fractal subset of real line are presented.

2. Preliminaries

Some well-known basic definitions and results associated with classical fractional integrals and generalized fractional integrals are presented in this section. The reverse Minkowski’s integral inequalities can be found in the work of [27, 55]. The reverse Minkowski’s inequalities are the motivation of the work performed so far, involving the classical Riemann integrals which are presented by the following theorems.

Theorem 1. (see [55]). Let the two functions and be positive on and . If , , then the following inequality holds:

Theorem 2. (see [55]). Let the two functions and be positive on and . If , , then the following inequality holds:

Definition 1. (see [5, 6]). The well-known classical fractional integrals of order are, respectively, defined byandwhere with .

Dahmani [51] has investigated the following inequalities by using classical fractional integral.

Theorem 4. (see [51]). Let the two functions , be positive on such that, for all , , . If , , then the following inequality holds:, , .

In [1], it is shown that the geometry of fractal is the geometry of real world. In [36, 37, 39], Parvate and Gangal proposed the calculus on fractals which is related to Riemann integrals.

Definition 2. (see [36, 37, 39]). For the thin Cantor set, the following integral staircase function is defined bywhere is the -dimension of thin Cantor set.

Definition 3. (see [36, 37, 39]). The -derivative is defined bywhen the limit exists.

Definition 4. The Gamma function with the fractal support is defined bywhere .

Here, we review the following nonlocal fractal integral operators for the functions with fractal support [56, 57].

Definition 5. If (-order differentiable function on ) and , then the left- and right-sided Riemann–Liouville fractal integral operators of order are, respectively, defined by [56, 57]andwhere is defined in (7), is the staircase function, and is the fractal set with -dimension (see, e.g., [56, 57]).

Remark 1. If we consider in (10) and (11), then we get (3) and (4), respectively.

One can easily prove the following lemma [56, 57].
