On Newton–Cotes Formula-Type Inequalities for Multiplicative Generalized Convex Functions via Riemann–Liouville Fractional Integrals with Applications to Quadrature Formulas and Computational Analysis

Abstract

In this article, we develop multiplicative fractional versions of Simpson’s and Newton’s formula-type inequalities for differentiable generalized convex functions with the help of established identities. The main motivation for using generalized convex functions lies in their ability to extend results beyond traditional convex functions, encompassing a broader class of functions, and providing optimal approximations for both lower and upper bounds. These inequalities are very useful in finding the error bounds for the numerical integration formulas in multiplicative calculus. Applying these results to the Quadrature formulas demonstrates their practical utility in numerical integration. Furthermore, numerical analysis provides empirical evidence of the effectiveness of the derived findings. It is also demonstrated that the newly proven inequalities extend certain existing results in the literature.
