In this work, we introduce the idea and concept of m–polynomial p–harmonic exponential type convex functions. In addition, we
elaborate the newly introduced idea by examples and some interesting algebraic properties. As a result, several new integral
inequalities are established. Finally, we investigate some applications for means. The amazing techniques and wonderful ideas of
this work may excite and motivate for further activities and research in the different areas of science.
1. Introduction
Theory of convexity present an active, fascinating, and
attractive field of research and also played prominence and
amazing act in different fields of science, namely, mathemat-
ical analysis, optimization, economics, finance, engineering,
management science, and game theory. Many researchers
endeavor, attempt, and maintain his work on the concept
of convex functions and extend and generalize its variant
forms in different ways using innovative ideas and fruitful
techniques. Convexity theory provides us with a unified
framework to develop highly efficient, interesting, and pow-
erful numerical techniques to tackle and to solve a wide class
of problems which arise in pure and applied sciences. In
recent years, the concept of convexity has been improved,
generalized, and extended in many directions. The concept
of convex functions also played prominence and meaningful
act in the advancement of the theory of inequalities. A num-
ber of studies have shown that the theory of convex functions
has a close relationship with the theory of inequalities.
The integral inequalities are useful in optimization the-
ory, functional analysis, physics, and statistical theory. In
diverse and opponent research, inequalities have a lot of
applications in statistical problems, probability, and numeri-
cal quadrature formulas [1–3]. So eventually due to many
generalizations, variants, extensions, widespread views, and
applications, convex analysis and inequalities have become
an attractive, interesting, and absorbing field for the
researchers and for attention; the reader can refer to [4–6].
Recently Kadakal and Iscan [7] introduced a generalized
form of convexity, namely, n–polynomial convex functions.
It is well known that the harmonic mean is the special
case of power mean. It is often used for the situations when
the average rates is desired and have a lot of applications in
different field of sciences which are statistics, computer sci-
ence, trigonometry, geometry, probability, finance, and elec-
tric circuit theory. Harmonic mean is the most appropriate
measure for rates and ratios because it equalizes the weights
of each data point. Harmonic mean is used to define the har-
monic convex set. In 2003, first time harmonic convex set
was introduced by Shi [8]. Harmonic and p–harmonic con-
vex function was for the first time introduced and discussed
by Anderson et al. [9] and Noor et al. [10], respectively.
