Abstract
The theory of symmetry has a significant influence in many research areas of mathematics. The class of symmetric functions has wide connections with other classes of functions. Among these, one is the class of convex functions, which has deep relations with the concept of symmetry. In recent years, the Schur convexity, convex geometry, probability theory on convex sets, and Schur geometric and harmonic convexities of various symmetric functions have been extensively studied topics of research in inequalities. The present attempt provides novel portmanteauHermite-Hadamard-Jensen-Mercer-type inequalities for convex functions that unify continuous and discrete versions into single forms. They come as a result of using Riemann-Liouville fractional operators with the joint implementations of the notions of majorization theory and convex functions. The obtained inequalities are in compact forms, containing both weighted and unweighted results, where by fixing the parameters, new and old versions of the discrete and continuous inequalities are obtained. Moreover, some new identities are discovered, upon employing which, the bounds for the absolute difference of the two left-most and right-most sides of the main results are established.
