On some generalized Raina-type fractional-order integral operators and related Chebyshev inequalities

Abstract

<abstract><p>In this work, we introduce generalized Raina fractional integral operators and derive Chebyshev-type inequalities involving these operators. In a first stage, we obtain Chebyshev-type inequalities for one product of functions. Then we extend those results to account for arbitrary products. Also, we establish some inequalities of the Chebyshev type for functions whose derivatives are bounded. In addition, we derive an estimate for the Chebyshev functional by applying the generalized Raina fractional integral operators. As corollaries of this study, some known results are recaptured from our general Chebyshev inequalities. The results of this work may prove useful in the theoretical analysis of numerical models to solve generalized Raina-type fractional-order integro-differential equations.</p></abstract>
