Abstract
Recently, AB-fractional calculus has been introduced by Atangana and Baleanu and attracted a large number of scientists in different scientific fields for the exploration of diverse topics. An interesting aspect is the generalization of classical inequalities via AB-fractional integral operators. In this paper, we aim to generalize Minkowski inequality using the AB-fractional integral operator.

1 Introduction
Nowadays the fractional calculus has an important role in diverse scientific fields due to its several applications in dynamical problems including signals, hydrodynamics, dynamics, fluid, viscoelastic theory, biology, control theory, image processing, computer networking, and many others [1,2,3,4,5]. A large number of scientists have worked on generalizations of existing results including theorems, definitions, models, and many more. A generalization of classical inequalities by means of fractional-order integral operators is considered as an interesting subject area. For instance, recently, Agarwal et al. [6] proved Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities by using generalized k-fractional-integrals. Aldhaifallah et al. [7] used the \((k,s)\)-fractional integral operator to generalize the inequalities for a family/class of n positive functions. Set et al. [8] studied Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities for a generalized fractional integral operator for functions with convex absolute values of derivatives. Khan et al. [9] produced the Minkowski inequality by using the Hahn integral operator. On the other hand, noninteger-order calculus, usually referred to as fractional calculus, is used to generalize integrals and derivatives, in particular, integrals involving inequalities. Recently, Dumitru and Arran [10] introduced a new formula for fractional derivatives and integrals by using the Mittag-Leffler kernel. More theoretical concepts regarding fractional operators with Mittag-Leffler kernels (Atangana–Baleanu operators) and the higher-order case have been discussed in [11, 12], whereas the generalization to the generalized Mittag-Leffler kernels to gain a semigroup property have been recently initiated in [13, 14]. Khan [15] studied inequalities for a class of n functions by means of Saigo fractional calculus. Jarad et al. [16] presented a Gronwall-type inequality for the analysis of the fractional-order Atangana–Baleanu differential equation and in [17] for generalized fractional derivatives.
Shuang and Qi [18] proved some Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities for a class of s-convex functions and studied special means. Mehrez and Agarwal [19] produced new integral inequalities by means of classical Hermite–Hadamard inequalities and obtained particular cases of their results with applications to special means. Park et al. [20] investigated new generalized inequalities, which then were utilized for stability analysis. Sarikaya et al. [21] established fractional integral inequalities generalizing the classical results by using the local fractional approach.
The integral inequalities with Mittag-Leffler functions have been studied as a generalization of the classical inequalities. For instance, Farid et al. [22] generalized several classical inequalities using an extended Mittag-Leffler function and evaluated particular cases of their results. More related work can be found in [23,24,25].
In this paper, we use the AB-fractional integral operator for generalization of classical Minkowski inequalities. Our results are more general and applicable than those in the classical case. There are many definitions of fractional integrals, for example, Riemann–Liouville, Hadamard, Liouville, Weyl, Erdelyi–Kober, and Katugampola [26,27,28,29], which can be considered for getting the same results. Now we give some definitions and lemma related to the AB-fractional operator.
Definition 1.1
([30])
The fractional ABC-derivative in the Caputo sense of a function \(f \in H^{*}(a,b)\) is defined by
where \(b>a\) and \(\nu \in [0,1]\), and \(\mathbb{B}(\nu )>0\) satisfies the property \(\mathbb{B}(0)=\mathbb{B}(1)=1\).
Definition 1.2
The fractional ABC-derivative in the Riemann–Liouville sense of a function \(f \in H^{*}(a,b)\) is defined by
where \(b>a\) and \(\nu \in [0,1]\).
Definition 1.3
The fractional AB-integral of the function \(f \in H^{*}(a,b)\) is given by
where \(b>a\) and \(0<\nu <1 \).
Remark 1.4
Since the normalization function \(\mathbb{B}(\nu )>0\) is positive, it immediately follows that the AB-integral of a positive function is positive. We will rely on this fact throughout the proofs of the main results.
Lemma 1.5
([33])
The ABC-fractional derivative and AB-fractional integral of a function f satisfy the Newton–Leibnitz formula
Organization of the paper. This paper includes four sections. Introduction is given in Sect. 1, with a literature review, important definitions, and a lemma, which we will use in the proofs. In Sect. 2, we prove Minkowski’s inequality for the AB-fractional integral operator. Other AB-fractional integral inequalities are proved in Sect. 3. The summary is given in Sect. 4.
2 The AB-fractional Minkowski inequality
Theorem 2.1
Let \(\nu >0\) and \(p\geq 1\). Let \(u, v \in C_{\nu }[a,b]\) be two positive functions in \([0,\infty [\) such that \({}^{AB}{{}_{a}\mathcal{I} _{t}^{\nu }}u(t)<\infty \) and \({}^{AB}{{}_{a}\mathcal{I}_{t}^{\nu }}v(t)< \infty \) for all \(t>a\). If \(0<\alpha \leq \frac{u(t)}{v(t)}\leq \theta \) for some \(\alpha ,\theta \in \mathbb{R}_{+}^{*}\) and all \(t\in [a,b]\), then
where
Proof
From the condition \(\frac{u(t)}{v(t)}\leq \theta \) we obtain
Taking the pth power of both sides of Eq. (2.2), we have
Multiplying both sides of (2.3) by \(\frac{1-\nu }{\mathbb{B}( \nu )}\), we get
Also, replacing t by s in Eq. (2.3) and multiplying both sides by \(\frac{\nu (t-s)^{\nu -1}}{\mathbb{B}(\nu )\varGamma (\nu )} \), we get
Integrating both sides of Eq. (2.4) with respect to s, we have
Adding (2.4) and (2.6), we obtain
This implies
Taking the \(\frac{1}{p}\)th power of both sides of Eq. (2.7), we find
On the other hand, by using the condition \(0<\alpha \leq \frac{u(t)}{v(t)}\) we directly get
Multiplying Eq. (2.9) by \(\frac{1-\nu }{\mathbb{B}(\nu )}\), we get
Also, replacing t by s in Eq. (2.9) and multiplying both sides by \(\frac{\nu (t-s)^{\nu -1}}{\mathbb{B}(\nu )\varGamma (\nu )}\), we get
Integrating both sides of Eq. (2.11) with respect to s, we have
Adding (2.10) and (2.12), we obtain
This leads to the AB-fractional integral inequality
Taking the \(\frac{1}{p}\)th power of both sides of Eq. (2.14), we find
By Eqs. (2.8) and (2.15) we obtain
Thus, the proof of the AB-fractional integral inequality is completed. □

If \(0<\alpha \leq \frac{u(t)}{v(t)} \leq \theta \) for some \(\alpha ,\theta \in \mathbb{R}_{+}^{*}\) and all \(t\in [a,b]\), then
where
Proof
Using the condition \(\frac{u(t)}{v(t)}\leq \theta \), we obtain
Taking the pth power of both sides of Eq. (2.2), we have
Multiplying both sides of (3.20) by \(\frac{1-\nu }{\mathbb{B}( \nu )}\), we get
Also, replacing t by s in Eq. (3.20) and multiplying both sides by \(\frac{\nu (t-s)^{\nu -1}}{\mathbb{B}(\nu )\varGamma (\nu )}\), we get
Integrating both sides of Eq. (3.21) with respect to s, we have
Adding (3.21) and (3.23), we obtain
This implies

Adding (3.34) and (3.36), we obtain
This implies
Using (3.32) and (3.38), we have
Using the inequality
with \(r=p\) and multiplying (3.40) by the constant \(\frac{1-\nu }{ \mathbb{B}(\nu )}\), we find
Then multiplying Eq. (3.40) with \(r=p \) by \(\frac{\nu (t-s)^{ \nu -1}}{\mathbb{B}(\nu )\varGamma (\nu )}\), we get
Integrating Eq. (3.42) from a to t, we have
Adding Eq. (3.41) and Eq. (3.43), we obtain
This implies
Repeating the same process with \(r=q\), we get

Let \(\nu >0\), and let \(u, v \in C_{\nu }[a,b]\) be two positive functions in \([0,\infty [\) such that \({}^{AB}{{}_{a}\mathcal{I}_{t}^{ \nu }}u(t)<\infty \) and \({}^{AB}{{}_{a}\mathcal{I}_{t}^{\nu }}v(t)<\infty \) for all \(t>a\), If \(0<\alpha \leq \frac{u(t)}{v(t)}\leq \theta \) for some \(\alpha ,\theta \in \mathbb{R}_{+}^{*}\) and all \(t\in [a,b]\), then
Proof
Using the condition
we conclude that
By (3.49) and (3.50) we obtain
Multiplying (3.51) by \(\frac{1-\nu }{\mathbb{B}(\nu )} \) and then by \(\frac{\nu (t-s)^{\nu -1}}{\mathbb{B}(\nu )\varGamma (\nu )}\), we get

Adding Eqs. (3.52) and Eq. (3.54), we obtain the required inequality. □
4 Conclusion
In this paper, we have considered Minkowski’s inequality for the AB-fractional integral operator. We have also obtained some other types of integral inequalities for the AB-fractional integral operator. By the help of this work we obtained more general inequalities than in the classical cases. For possible further work, we suggest to apply the obtained inequalities to prove the existence of solutions of fractional differential equations.
