A Review of Hermite-Hadamard Inequality for α-Type Real-Valued Convex Functions

Inequalities play important roles not only in mathematics but also in other fields, such as economics and engineering. Even though many results are published as Hermite-Hadamard (H-H)-type inequalities, new researchers to these fields often find it difficult to understand them. Thus, some important discoverers, such as the formulations of H-H-type inequalities of alpha-type real-valued convex functions, along with various classes of convexity through differentiable mappings and for fractional integrals, are presented. Some well-known examples from the previous literature are used as illustrations. In the many above-mentioned inequalities, the symmetrical behavior arises spontaneously.
