The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in dramatic challenges to healthcare systems worldwide. There has been an increased awareness to protect frontline workers from COVID-19 exposure and its consequences. To assess the prevalence of healthcare professionals in India during the COVID-19, a cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted with healthcare professionals from medical colleges and hospitals from different states across the country. The study comprised 772 healthcare professionals aged ≥18 years. The main outcome measures studied were anxiety, depression, and stress. Among the healthcare professionals, 37.17%, 33.68%, and 23.7% were reported to have anxiety, depression, and stress respectively. The physicians, female, aged population, and professionals sleeping less than 7 hours are more prone to psychological problems. The results of this study predict the high levels of anxiety, depression, and stress among healthcare professionals in different states of India. Increased COVID-19 cases, high pressure, workload, and lack of training are the main reasons for the psychological problems in healthcare professionals. Proper strategies must be followed in healthcare settings to reduce the burden of stress.

Fractional calculus provides a concise model for the description of the dynamic events that occur in biological tissues. Such a description is important for gaining an understanding of the underlying multiscale processes that occur when, for example, tissues are electrically stimulated or mechanically stressed. The mathematics of fractional calculus has been applied successfully in physics, chemistry, and materials science to describe dielectrics, electrodes and viscoelastic materials over extended ranges of time and frequency, see [1,2].
Fractional calculus is now a well-established tool in engineering science, with very promising applications in materials modelling. Indeed, several studies have shown that fractional operators can successfully describe complex long-memory and multiscale phenomena in materials, which can hardly be captured by standard mathematical approaches as, for instance, classical differential calculus. Furthermore, fractional calculus has recently proved to be an excellent framework for modelling non-conventional fractal and non-local media, opening valuable prospects on future engineered materials, see [3,4].
Fractional calculus become a key tool for many fields such as Biology [5,6], Economy [7], Demography [8], Geophysics [9], Medicine [10] and Bio-engineering [11]. There are many interesting controversies and generalizations for fractional calculus available to handle more and more real world problems [5,12]. This operator is significant because of their singular Kernal and hence, it is interesting to develop inequalities involving fractional order derivatives and fractional operators. Now a days, "Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities" are one of the top trend topic for the researchers of convex analysis and inequalities, which is define as:
Theorem 1.1. [13] Let ξ:J⊆R→R be a convex function and u,v∈J with u<v, then the following double inequality holds:
ξ(u+v2)≤1v−u∫vuξ(x)dx≤ξ(u)+ξ(v)2. | (1.1) |
Many fractional operators are used to generalized Hermite-Hadamard inequality, for example, Chen and Katugampola [14] presented Hermite-Hadamard and Hermite-Hadamard-Fejér type inequalities for generalized fractional integrals. In 2015, Set et al., [15] presented some new inequalities of Hermite-Hadamard-Fejer type for convex functions via fractional integrals. In 2016, Set, Sarikaya and Karakoc [16] presented Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for convex functions via fractional integrals. Iscan in [17] presented Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for harmonically convex functions. Gurbuz et al., in 2020, [18] studied Hermite-Hadamard inequality for fractional integrals of Caputo-Fabrizio type and presented some other related inequalities. The inequalities related to h-convexity had been studied in [19] by Varosanec. Also, there are many different extensions and versions appeared in number of papers and these extensions received many applications in different areas of mathematics, see for example [20,21,22,23,24,25,26]. For more detailed study about inequality theory and its applications, we refer to the readers [27,28,29,30,31] and the references therein.
Motivated by the work done in past years on generalizations of Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for different convexities involving certain fractional integral operators, we developed Hermite-Hadamard type inequality for Caputo-Fabrizio fractional operator for the class of h convex functions in this paper. We also presented some other inequalities and gave applications of our results in special means. Our results are generalization and extension of many existing results in literature.
In this section, we present some known definitions and results that will help us in proving main results of this paper.
Definition 1. (Convex function) Consider an extended real valued function ξ:J→R, where J⊂Rn is any convex set, then the function ξ is convex on J if
ξ(θu+(1−θ)v)≤θξ(u)+(1−θ)ξ(v), | (2.1) |
holds for all u,v∈J and θ∈(0,1).
Definition 2. (h-convex function) [19] Let I,J be intervals in R, (0,1)⊂J and let h:J→R be a non-negative function, h≠0. A non-negative function ξ:I→R is h-convex if
ξ(θu+(1−θ)v)≤h(θ)ξ(u)+h(1−θ)ξ(v), | (2.2) |
holds for all u,v∈J and θ∈(0,1).
If the inequality (2.2) is reversed, then the function ξ is h-concave. The class of h convex functions is denoted by SX(h,J) and the class of h concave functions is denoted by SV(h,J).
In the following remark, we give the relationship between the definitions 1 and 2.
Remark 1. 1. If h(θ)=θ then (2.2) reduces to (2.1).
2. If h(θ)≥θ for all θ∈(0,1) and the function ξ is convex and non-negative than ξ∈SX(h,J).
3. If h(θ)≤θ for all θ∈(0,1)and the function ξ is convex and non-negative than ξ∈SV(h,J).
Definition 3. (Caputo-Fabrizio fractional time derivative) For any function ξ, the Caputo fractional derivative of order σ is denoted by (UFDt) and is defined as
Dσtξ(t)=1γ(1−σ)∫tuξ′(x)(t−x)σdx, | (2.3) |
with σ∈(0,1) and u∈[−∞,t),ξ∈H1(u,v),u<v, (H1(u,v) is class of first order differentiable function). By changing the kernal (t−x)−σ with the function exp(−σ(t−x)σ1−σ) and 1γ(1−σ) with B(σ)1−σ, where B(σ)>0 is a normalization function satisfying B(0)=B(1)=1, we obtained the new definition of fractional time derivative
(Dσtξ)(t)=B(σ)1−σ∫tuξ′(x)e−σ(t−x)σ1−σdx, | (2.4) |
Definition 4. [1] Let ξ∈H1(u,v),u<v,σ∈(0,1), then the left Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative is defined as
(CFCuDσξ)(t)=B(σ)1−σ∫tuξ′(x)e−σ(t−x)σ1−σdx, | (2.5) |
and the integral associated with this fractional derivative is
(CFuIσξ)(t)=1−σB(σ)ξ(t)+σB(σ)∫tuξ(x)dx. | (2.6) |
Here, the function B(σ)>0 is normalization that satisfy the condition B(0)=B(1)=1.
Now, the right Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative is defined as
(CFCDσvξ)(t)=−B(σ)1−σ∫vtξ′(x)e−σ(x−t)σ1−σdx, | (2.7) |
and the integral associated with this fractional derivative is
(CFIσvξ)(t)=1−σB(σ)ξ(t)+σB(σ)∫vtξ(x)dx. | (2.8) |
Lemma 1. Consider a differential mapping ξ:J⊆R→R defined on ˚J and u,v∈J with u<v. If ξ′∈L[u,v] then we have
ξ(u)+ξ(v)2−1v−u∫vuξ(x)dx=v−u2∫10(1−2α)ξ′(θu−(1−θ)v)dθ. |
Lemma 2. [18,Lemma 2] Consider a differential mapping ξ:J=[u,v]→R defined on ˚J, and u,v∈J with u<v. If ξ∈L1[u,v], and σ∈(0,1) then we have
v−u2∫10(1−2θ)ξ′(θu−(1−θ)v)dθ−2(1−σ)σ(v−u)ξ(k)=ξ(u)+ξ(v)2−B(σ)σ(v−u)[(CFuIσξ)(k)+(CFIσvξ)(k)], | (2.9) |
where k∈[u,v] and B(σ)>0 is a normalization function.
In the following theorem, we present a variant of Hermite-Hadamard inequality in the setting of h-convex functions.
Theorem 3.1. Let ξ:J=[u,v]→R be an h-convex function defined on [u,v] and ξ∈L1[u,v]. If σ∈(0,1), then we have
12h(12)ξ(u+v2)≤B(σ)σ(v−u)[(CFuIσξ)(k)+(CFIσvξ)(k)−2(1−σ)B(σ)ξ(k)]≤(ξ(u)+ξ(v))∫10h(θ)dθ, | (3.1) |
where k∈[u,v] and B(σ)>0 is as defined above.
Proof. The Hermite-Hadamard inequality for h-convex is as follows;
12h(12)ξ(u+v2)≤1v−u∫vuξ(x)dx≤(ξ(u)+ξ(v))∫10h(θ)dθ. | (3.2) |
Since ξ is a h-convex function on [u,v], we can write
22h(12)ξ(u+v2)≤2v−u∫vuξ(x)dx=2v−u(∫kuξ(x)dx+∫vkξ(x)dx). | (3.3) |
Multiplying both sides of (3.3) by σ(v−u)2B(σ) and adding 2(1−σ)B(σ)ξ(k), we get
2(1−σ)B(σ)ξ(k)+σ(v−u)B(σ)(12h(12)ξ(u+v2))≤2(1−σ)B(σ)ξ(k)+σB(σ)[∫kuξ(x)dx+∫vkξ(x)dx]=((1−σ)B(σ)ξ(k)+σB(σ)∫kuξ(x)dx)+((1−σ)B(σ)ξ(k)+σB(σ)∫vkξ(x)dx)=(CFuIσξ)(k)+(CFIσvξ)(k). | (3.4) |
After suitable rearrangement of (3.4), we arrive at the left inequality of (3.1).
Now we will prove the right side of (3.1). The Hermite-Hadamard inequality for h-convex functions is
2v−u∫vuξ(x)dx≤2[(ξ(u)+ξ(v))∫10h(θ)dθ],2v−u[∫kuξ(x)dx+∫vkξ(x)dx]≤2[(ξ(u)+ξ(v))∫10h(θ)dθ]. | (3.5) |
By using the same operator with (3.3) in (3.5), we have
(CFuIσξ)(k)+(CFIσvξ)(k)≤2(1−σ)B(σ)ξ(k)+σ(v−u)B(σ)((ξ(u)+ξ(v))∫10h(θ)dθ). | (3.6) |
After suitable rearrangement of (3.6), we get the required right side of (3.1), which complete the proof.
Following remark proofs that our result is generalization of existing result.
Remark 2. Taking h(θ)=θ in Theorem 3.1, we get [18,Theorem 2].
In the following theorem, we present another variant of Hermite-Hadamard inequality.
Theorem 3.2. Let ξ1,ξ2:J⊆R→R be a h-convex functions on J. If ξ1ξ2∈L1([u,v]), then we have the following inequality:
2B(σ)σ(v−u)[(CFuIσξ1ξ2)(k)+(CFIσvξ1ξ2)(k)−2(1−σ)B(σ)ξ1(k)ξ2(k)]≤(2∫10(h(θ))2dθ)M(u,v)+(2∫10h(θ)h(1−θ)dθ)N(u,v), | (3.7) |
where M(u,v)=ξ1(u)ξ2(u)+ξ1(v)ξ2(v), N(u,v)=ξ1(u)ξ2(v)+ξ1(v)ξ2(u) and k∈[u,v] and B(σ)>0.
Proof. By definition of h-convexity of ξ1 and ξ2, we have
ξ1(θu+(1−θ)v)≤h(θ)ξ1(u)+h(1−θ)ξ1(v),∀θ∈[0,1], | (3.8) |
and
ξ2(θu+(1−θ)v)≤h(θ)ξ2(u)+h(1−θ)ξ2(v),∀θ∈[0,1]. | (3.9) |
Multiplying both sides of (3.8) and (3.9), we have
ξ1(θu+(1−θ)v)ξ2(θu+(1−θ)v)≤(h(θ))2ξ1(u)ξ2(u)+(h(1−θ))2ξ1(v)ξ2(v)+h(θ)h(1−θ)[ξ1(u)ξ2(v)+ξ1(v)ξ2(u)]. | (3.10) |
Integrating (3.10) with respect to θ over [0,1] and changing variables, we obtain
1v−u∫vuξ1(x)ξ2(x)dx≤ξ1(u)ξ2(u)∫10(h(θ))2dθ+ξ1(v)ξ2(v)∫10(h(1−θ))2dθ+[ξ1(u)ξ2(v)+ξ1(v)ξ2(u)]∫10h(θ)h(1−θ)dθ, |
which implies
2v−u[∫tuξ1(x)ξ2(x)dx+∫vtξ1(x)ξ2(x)dx]≤2[∫10(h(θ))2dθ[ξ1(u)ξ2(u)+ξ1(v)ξ2(v)]+∫10h(θ)h(1−θ)dθ+[ξ1(u)ξ2(v)+ξ1(v)ξ2(u)]].≤2[(∫10(h(θ))2dθ)M(u,v)+(∫10h(θ)h(1−θ)dθ)N(u,v)]. | (3.11) |
Multiplying both sides of (3.11) by σ(v−u)2B(σ) and adding 2(1−σ)B(σ)ξ1(k)ξ2(k), we get
σB(σ)[∫kuξ1(x)ξ2(x)dx+∫vkξ1(x)ξ2(x)dx]+2(1−σ)B(σ)ξ1(k)ξ2(k)≤σ(v−u)B(σ)[2(∫10(h(θ))2dθ)M(u,v)+2(∫10h(θ)h(1−θ)dθ)N(u,v)]+2(1−σ)B(σ)ξ1(k)ξ2(k). |
Thus
(CFuIσξ1ξ2)(k)+(CFIσvξ1ξ2)(k)≤σ(v−u)B(σ)[2(∫10(h(θ))2dθ)M(u,v)+2(∫10h(θ)h(1−θ)dθ)N(u,v)]+2(1−σ)B(σ)ξ1(k)ξ2(k). | (3.12) |
The suitable arrangement of (3.12) completes the proof.
The following remark shows that our result is generalization of existing result.
Remark 3. Taking h(θ)=θ in Theorem 3.2 we obtain [18,Theorem 3].
Following theorem contains another variant of Hermite-hadamard inequality.
Theorem 3.3. Let ξ1 and ξ2 are h-convex functions on J. If ξ1ξ2∈L([u,v]), then we have
12[h(12)]2ξ1(u+v2)ξ2(u+v2)−B(σ)σ(v−u)[(CFuIσξ1ξ2)(k)+(CFIσvξ1ξ2)(k)]+2(1−σ)σ(v−u)ξ1(k)ξ2(k)≤M(u,v)∫10h(θ)h(1−θ)dθ+12N(u,v)∫10[(h(θ))2+(h(1−θ))2]dθ, | (3.13) |
where M(u,v)=ξ1(u)ξ1(u)+ξ1(v)ξ1(v), N(u,v)=ξ2(u)ξ2(v)+ξ2(v)ξ2(u) and k∈[u,v] and B(σ)>0.
Proof. By using h-convexity of ξ1 and ξ2 and taking θ=12, we have
ξ1(u+v2)≤[h(12)]2ξ1((1−θ)u+θv)+[h(12)]2ξ1(θu+(1−θ)v), |
and
ξ2(u+v2)≤[h(12)]2ξ2((1−θ)u+θv)+[h(12)]2ξ2(θu+(1−θ)v). |
Multiplying the above inequalities at both sides, we get
ξ1(u+v2)ξ2(u+v2)≤[h(12)]2[ξ1((1−θ)u+θv)ξ2((1−θ)u+θv)+ξ1(θu+(1−θ)v)ξ2(θu+(1−θ)v)+ξ1((1−θ)u+θv)ξ2(θu+(1−θ)v)+ξ1(θu+(1−θ)v)ξ2((1−θ)u+θv)]≤[h(12)]2[ξ1((1−θ)u+θv)ξ2((1−θ)u+θv)+ξ1(θu+(1−θ)v)ξ2(θu+(1−θ)v)+2h(θ)h(1−θ){ξ1(u)ξ2(u)+ξ1(v)ξ2(v)}{(h(θ))2+(h(1−θ))2}{ξ1(u)ξ2(v)+ξ1(v)ξ2(u)}]. | (3.14) |
Integrating (3.14) with respect to θ over [0,1] and changing variables, we obtain
ξ1(u+v2)ξ2(u+v2)≤[h(12)]2[2v−u∫vuξ1(x)ξ2(x)dx+2M(u,v)∫10h(θ)h(1−θ)dθ+N(u,v)∫10[(h(θ))2+(h(1−θ))2]dθ]. | (3.15) |
Multiplying both sides of (3.15) by σ(v−u)2B(σ) and subtracting 2(1−σ)B(σ)ξ1(k)ξ2(k), we obtain
σ(v−u)2B(σ)[h(12)]2ξ1(u+v2)ξ2(u+v2)−2(1−σ)B(σ)ξ1(k)ξ2(k)≤σB(σ)∫vuξ1(x)ξ2(x)dx+σ(v−u)2B(σ)[2M(u,v)∫10h(θ)h(1−θ)dθ+N(u,v)∫10[(h(θ))2+(h(1−θ))2]dθ]−2(1−σ)B(σ)ξ1(k)ξ2(k). |
Thus
σ(v−u)2B(σ)[h(12)]2ξ1(u+v2)ξ2(u+v2)−2(1−σ)B(σ)ξ1(k)ξ2(k)−σB(σ)[∫kuξ1(x)ξ2(x)dx+∫ukξ1(x)ξ2(x)dx+]≤σ(v−u)2B(σ)[2M(u,v)∫10h(θ)h(1−θ)dθ+N(u,v)∫10[(h(θ))2+(h(1−θ))2]dθ]−2(1−σ)B(σ)ξ1(k)ξ2(k). |
This implies that
σ(v−u)2B(σ)[h(12)]2ξ1(u+v2)ξ2(u+v2)−(CFuIσξ1ξ2)(k)+(CFIσvξ1ξ2)(k)≤σ(v−u)2B(σ)[2M(u,v)∫10h(θ)h(1−θ)dθ+N(u,v)∫10[(h(θ))2+(h(1−θ))2]dθ]−2(1−σ)B(σ)ξ1(k)ξ2(k). | (3.16) |
Multiplying (3.16) 2B(σ)σ(v−u), we obtained the required inequality (3.13).
Remark 4. If we take h(θ)=θ in Theorem 3.3 we obtain [18,Theorem 4].
In the following theorem, we present an inequality concerning Caputo-Fabrizio fractional operator in the setting of h-convexity.
Theorem 4.1. Consider a differentiable function ξ:J→R defined on ˚J such that the function |ξ′| is h-convex on [u,v], where u,v∈J with u<v. If ξ′∈L1[u,v] and σ∈(0,1), then we have
|ξ(u)+ξ(v)2+2(1−σ)σ(v−u)ξ(k)−B(σ)σ(v−u)[(CFuIσξ)(k)+(CFIσvξ)(k)]|≤v−u2[E1|ξ′(u)|+E2|ξ′(v)|], | (4.1) |
where
E1=(∫120|1−2θ|h(θ)dθ+∫112|2θ−1|h(θ)dθ), | (4.2) |
E2=(∫120|1−2θ|h(1−θ)dθ+∫112|2θ−1|h(1−θ)dθ), | (4.3) |
where k∈[u,v] and B(σ)>0 is a normalization function.
Proof. In the light of the Lemma 2 and the fact that |ψ′| is h-convex, we get
|ξ(u)+ξ(v)2+2(1−σ)σ(v−u)ξ(k)−B(σ)σ(v−u)[(CFuIσξ)(k)+(CFIσvξ)(k)]|≤v−u2∫10|1−2θ||ξ′(θu+(1−θ)v)|dθ≤v−u2∫10|1−2θ|[h(θ)|ξ′(u)|+h(1−θ)|ξ′(v)|]dθ=v−u2(∫120|1−2θ|[h(θ)|ξ′(u)|+h(1−θ)|ξ′(v)|]dθ+∫112|2θ−1|[h(θ)|ξ′(u)|+h(1−θ)|ξ′(v)|]dθ)=v−u2[|ξ′(u)|(∫120|1−2θ|h(θ)dθ+∫112|2θ−1|h(θ)dθ)+|ξ′(v)|(∫120|1−2θ|h(1−θ)dθ+∫112|2θ−1|h(1−θ)dθ)]=v−u2[E1|ξ′(u)|+E2|ξ′(v)|]. | (4.4) |
Which completes the proof.
Remark 5. If we take h(θ)=θ in Theorem 4.1, we obtain [18,Theorem 5].
Theorem 4.2. Consider a differentiable funciton ξ:J→R defined on ˚J such that the function |ξ′|q is h-convex on [u,v], u,v∈˚J with u<v,q>1,1p+1q=1 where u,v∈J with u<v. If ξ′∈L1[u,v], and σ∈(0,1), then we have
|ξ(u)+ξ(v)2+2(1−σ)σ(v−u)ξ(k)−B(σ)σ(v−u)[(CFuIσξ)(k)+(CFIσvξ)(k)]|≤v−u2(1p+1)1p[|ξ′(u)|q∫10h(θ)dθ+|ξ′(v)|q∫10h(1−θ)dθ]1q, | (4.5) |
where k∈[u,v] and B(σ)>0 is a normalization function.
Proof. In the light of Lemma 2, Hölder's inequality and the fact that |ξ′|q is h-convex, we get
|ξ(u)+ξ(v)2+2(1−σ)σ(v−u)ξ(k)−B(σ)σ(v−u)[(CFuIσξ)(k)+(CFIσvξ)(k)]|≤v−u2∫10|1−2θ||ξ′(θu+(1−θ)v)|dθ |
≤v−u2[(∫10|1−2θ|pdθ)1p(∫10|ξ′(θu+(1−θ)v)|qdθ)1q]=v−u2(1p+1)1p(|ξ′(u)|q∫10h(θ)dθ+|ξ′(v)|q∫10h(1−θ)dθ)1q. |
Which completes the proof.
Remark 6. If we take h(θ)=θ in Theorem 4.2 we obtain [18,Theorem 6].
Means has significant important in applied and pure mathematics, especially the accuracy of a results can be confirmed by the application to special means for real numbers u,v such that u≠v. They are in the following order;
H≤G≤L≤I≤A | (5.1) |
For two positive numbers u>0 and v>0, the arithmetic mean is define as
A(u,v)=u+v2,u,v∈R |
The generalized logarithmic mean is defined as
L=Lrr(u,v)=vr+1−ur+1(r+1)(v−u),r∈R−[−1,0],u,v∈R,u≠v. | (5.2) |
Proposition 5.1. Let u,v∈[0,∞) with u<v, we have
|A(u2,v2)−L22(u,v)|≤(v−u)[E1|u|+E2|v|]. | (5.3) |
Proof. In Theorem 4.1, if we set ξ(x)=x2, with σ=1 and B(σ)=B(1)=1, we obtained the required result.
Remark 7. If we put h(θ)=θ, in preposition (5.1) then we will obtain [18,preposition 1].
Proposition 5.2. Let u,v∈[0,∞) with u<v, then we have
|A(eu,ev)−L(eu,ev)|≤(v−u)2[E1eu+E2ev]. | (5.4) |
Proof. In Theorem 4.1, if we set ξ(x)=ex, with σ=1 and B(σ)=B(1)=1, we obtained the required result.
Remark 8. If we put h(θ)=θ, in preposition (5.1) then we will obtain [18,preposition 2].
Proposition 5.3. Let u,v∈R+, u<v, then
|A(un,vn)−Lnn(u,v)|≤n(v−u)2[E1|un−1|+E2|vn−1|]. | (5.5) |
Proof. In Theorem 4.1, if we set ξ(x)=xn, where n is an even number with σ=1 and B(σ)=B(1)=1, we obtained the required result.
Remark 9. If we put h(θ)=θ, in preposition (5.1) then we will obtain [18,preposition 3].
The class of convex functions has special place in the theory of optimization problems due to their special properties, for example, any convex function defined on an open domain has exactly one minimum. An another important tool of mathematics is Caputo-Fabrizio integral operator that attract attentions of many mathematician and researcher working in other fields. This operator is very helpful for sake of modeling of problems of applies sciences and engineering. The fractional derivatives contribute significantly in modeling almost every phenomena in the field of Engineering and applied physics. In this paper, Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for h-convex functions via Caputo-Fabrizio integral operator are derived. Some new and important integral inequalities involving Caputo-Fabrizio fractional integral operator are also obtained for h-convex functions. Many existing results in literature become the particular cases for these results as mentioned in remarks.
