Journal of Inequalities and Applications volume 2013, Article number: 517 (2013)
Abstract
Motivated by the definition of geometric-arithmetically s-convex functions in (Shuang et al. in Analysis 33:197-208, 2013) and second-order fractional integral identities in (Zhang and Wang in J. Inequal. Appl. 2013:220, 2013; Wang et al. in Appl. Anal. 2012, doi:10.1080/00036811.2012.727986), we establish some interesting Riemann-Liouville fractional Hermite-Hadamard inequalities for twice differentiable geometric-arithmetically s-convex functions via beta function and incomplete beta function.

1 Introduction
Fractional calculus, which is a generalization of classical differentiation and integration to arbitrary order, was born in 1695. In the past three hundred years, fractional calculus developed not only in pure theoretical field but also in diverse fields ranging from physical sciences and engineering to biological sciences and economics [1–8].
The classical Hermite-Hadamard inequalities have attracted many researchers since 1893. Researchers investigated Hermite-Hadamard inequalities involving fractional integrals according to the associated fractional integral equalities and different types of convex functions. For instance, one can refer to [9–11] for convex functions and to [12] for nondecreasing functions, to [13–15] for m-convex functions and to [16] for -convex functions, to [17] for functions satisfying s-e-condition, to [18] for -logarithmically convex functions and see the references therein.
In [19], Shuang et al. introduced a new concept of geometric-arithmetically s-convex functions and presented interesting Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for integer integrals of such functions. In [20], the authors used the definition of geometric-arithmetically s-convex functions in [19] and applied first-order fractional integral identities in [9, 10, 14] to establish some interesting Riemann-Liouville fractional Hermite-Hadamard inequalities for once differentiable geometric-arithmetically s-convex functions.
However, fractional Hermite-Hadamard inequalities for twice geometric-arithmetically s-convex functions have not been reported. In this work, we continue the development in [20]. Note that Wang et al. [13, 16] presented some elementary fractional integral equalities for twice differential functions. Motivated by [13, 16, 19], we study Riemann-Liouville fractional Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for geometric-arithmetically s-convex functions by means of first-order fractional integral equalities.
