Interval analysis distinguishes between different types of order relations. As a result of these order relations, convexity and nonconvexity contribute to different kinds of inequalities. Despite this, convex theory is commonly known to rely on Godunova–Levin functions because their properties make it more efficient for determining inequality terms than convex ones. The purpose of this study is to introduce the notion of cr-h-Godunova–Levin functions by using total order relation between two intervals. Considering their properties and widespread use, center-radius order relation appears to be ideally suited for the study of inequalities. In this paper, various types of inequalities are introduced using center-radius order (cr) relation. The cr-order relation enables us firstly to derive some Hermite–Hadamard (H.H) inequalities, and then to present Jensen-type inequality for h-Godunova–Levin interval-valued functions (GL-IVFS) using a Riemann integral operator. This kind of convexity unifies several new and well-known convex functions. Additionally, the study includes useful examples to support its findings. These results confirm that this new concept is useful for addressing a wide range of inequalities. We hope that our results will encourage future research into fractional versions of these inequalities and optimization problems associated with them.

There is no doubt that convex and non-convex functions have a significant impact on optimization. Due to its behavior, convexity also plays a crucial role in the discussion of inequalities. The principles of convexity and symmetry go hand-in-hand. With a growing connection between the two in recent years, we can learn from one and apply it to the other. There have been significant studies on the generalization of Godunova–Levin interval-valued functions in the last few decades, as it has tremendous applications in both pure and applied mathematics. In this paper, we introduce the notion of interval- valued harmonical (h1, h2)-Godunova–Levin functions. Using the new concept, we establish a new interval Hermite–Hadamard and Jensen-type inequalities that generalize the ones that exist in the literature. Additionally, we provide some examples to prove the validity of our main results.

This note introduces a new class of preinvexity called (h1,h2)-Godunova-Levin preinvex functions that generalize earlier findings. Based on these notions, we developed Hermite-Hadamard, weighted Fejér, and trapezium type inequalities. Furthermore, we constructed some non-trivial examples in order to verify all the developed results. In addition, we discussed some applications related to the trapezoidal formula, probability density functions, special functions and special means. Lastly, we discussed the importance of order relations and left two open problems for future research. As an additional benefit, we believe that the present work can provide a strong catalyst for enhancing similar existing literature.

The interval analysis is famous for its ability to deal with uncertain data. This method is useful for addressing models with data that contain inaccuracies. Different concepts are used to handle data uncertainty in an interval analysis, including a pseudo-order relation, inclusion relation, and center–radius (cr)-order relation. This study aims to establish a connection between inequalities and a cr-order relation. In this article, we developed the Hermite–Hadamard (H.H) and Jensen-type inequalities using the notion of harmonical (h1,h2)-Godunova–Levin (GL) functions via a cr-order relation which is very novel in the literature. These new definitions have allowed us to identify many classical and novel special cases that illustrate our main findings. It is possible to unify a large number of well-known convex functions using the principle of this type of convexity. Furthermore, for the sake of checking the validity of our main findings, some nontrivial examples are given.

Mathematical programming and optimization problems related to fluid dynamics are heavily influenced by stochastic processes associated with integral and variational inequalities. Furthermore, symmetry and convexity are intrinsically related. Over the last few years, both have become increasingly interconnected so that we can learn from one and apply it to the other. The objective of this note is to convert ordinary stochastic processes into interval stochastic processes due to the wide range of applications in various disciplines. We have developed Hermite–Hadamard (H.H), Ostrowski-, and Jensen-type inequalities using interval h-convex stochastic processes. Our main results can be applied to a variety of new and well-known outcomes as specific situations. The results of this study are expected to stimulate future research on inequalities using fractional and fuzzy integral operators. Furthermore, we validate our main findings by providing some non-trivial examples. To demonstrate their general properties, we illustrate the connections between the examined results and those that have already been published. The results discussed in this article can be seen as improvements and refinements to results that have already been published. This is a fascinating subject that can be investigated in the future to identify equivalent inequalities for various convexity types.

There are different types of order relations that are associated with interval analysis for determining integral inequalities. The purpose of this paper is to connect the inequalities terms to total order relations, often called (CR)-order. In contrast to classical interval-order relations, total order relations are quite different and novel in the literature and are calculated as ω=⟨ωc,ωr⟩=⟨ω¯+ω̲2,ω¯−ω̲2⟩. A major benefit of total order relations is that they produce more efficient results than other order relations. This study introduces the notion of CR-(h1,h2)-convex function using total order relations. Center and Radius order relations are a powerful tool for studying inequalities based on their properties and widespread application. Using this novel notion, we first developed some variants of Hermite–Hadamard inequality and then constructed Jensen inequality. Based on the results, this new concept is extremely useful in connection with a variety of inequalities. There are many new and well-known convex functions unified by this type of convexity. These results will stimulate further research on inequalities for fractional interval-valued functions and fuzzy interval-valued functions, as well as the optimization problems associated with them. For the purpose of verifying our main findings, we provide some nontrivial examples.
