1. Introduction
Let f : I ⊆ R → R be a convex mapping defined on the interval I of real numbers,
and a, b ∈ I with a < b. The following double inequality is well known in the literature
as the Hermite-Hadamard inequality [5]:
Z b
a+b
1
f (a) + f (b)
f
≤
f (x) dx ≤
.

In [8], the notion of m-convexity was introduced by G.Toader as the following:
1.1. Definition. The function f : [0, b] → R, b > 0 is said to be m-convex, where
m ∈ [0, 1], if we have
f (tx + m (1 − t) y) ≤ tf (x) + m (1 − t) f (y)
for all x, y ∈ [0, b] and t ∈ [0, 1]. We say that f is m-concave if −f is m-convex.

Denote by Km (b) the class of all m-convex functions on [0, b] for which f (0) ≤ 0.
Obviously, if we choose m = 1, Definition 1.1 recaptures the concept of standard convex
functions on [0, b].
In [6], S. S. Dragomir and G. Toader proved the following Hadamard type inequalities
for m-convex functions.
1.2. Theorem. Let f : [0, ∞) → R be an m-convex function with m ∈ (0, 1]. If 0 ≤ a <
b < ∞ and f ∈ L1 [a, b], then the following inequality holds:

Some generalizations of this result can be found in [2, 3].

(0, 1]. Then for all 0 ≤ a < b the following inequality holds:

Also, in [5], Dragomir and Pearce proved the following Hadamard type inequality for
m-convex functions.
1.4. Theorem. Let f : [0, ∞) → R be an m-convex function with m ∈ (0, 1] and
0 ≤ a < b. If f ∈ L1 [a, b], then one has the inequality:

In [7], the definition of (α, m)-convexity was introduced by V. G. Miheşan as the
following:
1.5. Definition. The function f : [0, b] → R, b > 0, is said to be (α, m)-convex, where
(α, m) ∈ [0, 1]2 , if we have
f (tx + m(1 − t)y) ≤ tα f (x) + m(1 − tα )f (y)
for all x, y ∈ [0, b] and t ∈ [0, 1].
α
Denote by Km
(b) the class of all (α, m)-convex functions on [0, b] for which f (0) ≤ 0.
If we take (α, m) = (1, m), it can be easily seen that (α, m)-convexity reduces to mconvexity, and for (α, m) = (1, 1), (α, m)-convexity reduces to the usual concept of
convexity defined on [0, b], b > 0.
In [9], E. Set, M. Sardari, M. E. Ozdemir and J. Rooin proved the following Hadamard
type inequalities for (α, m)-convex functions.
1.6. Theorem. Let f : [0, ∞) → R be an (α,m)-convex function with (α, m) ∈ (0, 1]2 .

Let us now consider a bidimensional interval ∆ =: [a, b] × [c, d] in R2 , with a < b and
c < d. A function f : ∆ → R is said to be convex on ∆ if the following inequality:
f (tx + (1 − t) z, ty + (1 − t) w) ≤ tf (x, y) + (1 − t) f (z, w)
holds, for all (x, y) , (z, w) ∈ ∆ and t ∈ [0, 1]. A function f : ∆ → R is said to be convex
on the co-ordinates on ∆ if the partial mappings fy : [a, b] → R, fy (u) = f (u, y) and
fx : [c, d] → R, fx (v) = f (x, v) are convex where defined for all x ∈ [a, b] and y ∈ [c, d]
(see [5, p. 317]).
Also, in [4], Dragomir proved the following similar inequalities of Hadamard’s type
for a co-ordinated convex mapping on a rectangle in the plane R2 .
1.9. Theorem. Suppose that f : ∆ → R is co-ordinated convex on ∆. Then one has the
inequalities:

The above inequalities are sharp.
For co-ordinated s-convex functions, another version of this result can be found in [1].
The main purpose of this paper is to establish new Hadamard-type inequalities for
functions of 2-variables which are m-convex or (α, m)-convex on the co-ordinates.
2. Inequalities for co-ordinated m-convex functions
Firstly, we can define co-ordinated m-convex functions as follows:
2.1. Definition. Consider the bidimensional interval ∆ := [0, b] × [0, d] in [0, ∞)2 . The
mapping f : ∆ → R is m-convex on ∆ if
f (tx + (1 − t) z, ty + m (1 − t) w) ≤ tf (x, y) + m (1 − t) f (z, w)
holds for all (x, y) , (z, w) ∈ ∆ with t ∈ [0, 1], b, d > 0, and for some fixed m ∈ [0, 1].
A function f : ∆ → R which is m-convex on ∆ is called co-ordinated m-convex on ∆
if the partial mappings
fy : [0, b] → R, fy (u) = f (u, y)
222
M. E. Özdemir, E. Set, M. Z. Sarıkaya
and
fx : [0, d] → R, fx (v) = f (x, v)
are m-convex for all y ∈ [0, d] and x ∈ [0, b] with b, d > 0, and for some fixed m ∈ [0, 1].
We also need the following Lemma for our main results.
2.2. Lemma. Every m-convex mapping f : ∆ ⊂ [0, ∞)2 → R is m-convex on the coordinates, where ∆ = [0, b] × [0, d] and m ∈ [0, 1].
Proof. Suppose that f : ∆ = [0, b] × [0, d] → R is m-convex on ∆. Consider the function
fx : [0, d] → R, fx (v) = f (x, v) , (x ∈ [0, b]) .
Then for t, m ∈ [0, 1] and v1 , v2 ∈ [0, d], we have
fx (tv1 + m (1 − t) v2 ) = f (x, tv1 + m (1 − t) v2 )
= f (tx + (1 − t) x, tv1 + m (1 − t) v2 )
≤ tf (x, v1 ) + m (1 − t) f (x, v2 )
= tfx (v1 ) + m (1 − t) fx (v2 ) .
Therefore, fx (v) = f (x, v) is m-convex on [0, d]. The fact that fy : [0, b] → R, fy (u) =
f (u, y) is also m-convex on [0, b] for all y ∈ [0, d] goes likewise, and we shall omit the
details.
2.3. Theorem. Suppose that f : ∆ = [0, b] × [0, d] → R is an m-convex function on the
co-ordinates on ∆. If 0 ≤ a < b < ∞ and 0 ≤ c < d < ∞ with m ∈ (0, 1], then one has
the inequality:
Z dZ b

(2.1)

Proof. Since f : ∆ → R is co-ordinated m-convex on ∆ it follows that the mapping
gx : [0, d] → R, gx (y) = f (x, y) is m-convex on [0, d] for all x ∈ [0, b]. Then by the
inequality (1.1) one has:

Dividing both sides by (b − a) and integrating this inequality over [a, b] with respect
to x, we have

By a similar argument applied to the mapping gy : [0, b] → R, gy (x) = f (x, y) with

Summing the inequalities (2.2) and (2.3), we get the inequality (2.1).
2.4. Corollary. With the above assumptions, and provided that the partial mappings
fy : [0, b] → R, fy (u) = f (u, y)
and
fx : [0, d] → R, fx (v) = f (x, v)
are differentiable on (0, b) and (0, d), respectively, we have the inequalities

fx : [0, d] → R, fx (v) = f (x, v)
are differentiable on [0, d], by the inequality (1.2) we have

Hence, using (2.2), we get the inequality (2.4).
Analogously, Since the partial mappings
fy : [0, b] → R, fy (u) = f (u, y)
are differentiable on [0, b], using the inequality (2.3), we get the inequality (2.5). The
proof is completed.
2.5. Remark. Choosing m = 1 in (2.4) or (2.5), we get the relationship between the
third and fourth inequalities in (1.7).
2.6. Theorem. Suppose that f : ∆ = [0, b] × [0, d] → R is an m-convex function on the
co-ordinates on ∆. If 0 ≤ a < b < ∞ and 0 ≤ c < d < ∞, m ∈ (0, 1] with fx ∈ L1 [0, d]
and fy ∈ L1 [0, b], then one has the inequality:

Proof. Since f : ∆ → R is co-ordinated m-convex on ∆ it follows that the mapping

Summing the inequalities (2.7) and (2.8), we get the inequality (2.6).
2.7. Remark. Choosing m = 1 in (2.6), we get the second inequality of (1.7).
3. Inequalities for co-ordinated (α, m)-convex functions
3.1. Definition. Consider the bidimensional interval ∆ := [0, b] × [0, d] in [0, ∞)2 . The
mapping f : ∆ → R is (α, m)-convex on ∆ if
(3.1)
f (tx + (1 − t) z, ty + m (1 − t) w) ≤ tα f (x, y) + m (1 − tα ) f (z, w)
holds for all (x, y) , (z, w) ∈ ∆ and (α, m) ∈ [0, 1]2 , with t ∈ [0, 1].
A function f : ∆ → R which is (α, m)-convex on ∆ is called co-ordinated (α, m)-convex
on ∆ if the partial mappings
fy : [0, b] → R, fy (u) = f (u, y)
and
fx : [0, d] → R, fx (v) = f (x, v)
are (α, m)-convex for all y ∈ [0, d] and x ∈ [0, b] with some fixed (α, m) ∈ [0, 1]2 .
Note that for (α, m) = (1, 1) and (α, m) = (1, m), one obtains the class of co-ordinated
convex and of co-ordinated m-convex functions on ∆, respectively.
3.2. Lemma. Every (α, m)-convex mapping f : ∆ → R is (α, m)-convex on the coordinates, where ∆ = [0, b] × [0, d] and α, m ∈ [0, 1].
Proof. Suppose that f : ∆ → R is (α, m)-convex on ∆. Consider the function
fx : [0, d] → R, fx (v) = f (x, v) , (x ∈ [0, b]) .
226
M. E. Özdemir, E. Set, M. Z. Sarıkaya
Then for t ∈ [0, 1], (α, m) ∈ [0, 1]2 and v1 , v2 ∈ [0, d], one has
fx (tv1 + m (1 − t) v2 ) = f (x, tv1 + m (1 − t) v2 )
= f (tx + (1 − t) x, tv1 + m (1 − t) v2 )
≤ tα f (x, v1 ) + m (1 − tα ) f (x, v2 )
= tα fx (v1 ) + m (1 − tα ) fx (v2 ) .
Therefore, fx (v) = f (x, v) is (α, m)-convex on [0, d]. The fact that fy : [0, b] → R,
fy (u) = f (u, y) is also (α, m)-convex on [0, b] for all y ∈ [0, d] goes likewise, and we shall
omit the details.
3.3. Theorem. Suppose that f : ∆ = [0, b] × [0, d] → R is an (α, m)-convex function on
the co-ordinates on ∆, where (α, m) ∈ (0, 1]2 . If 0 ≤ a < b < ∞, 0 ≤ c < d < ∞ and
fx ∈ L1 [0, d], fy ∈ L1 [0, b], then the following inequalities hold:

Summing the inequalities (3.4) and (3.5), we get the inequality (3.2).
The inequality (3.3) can be obtained in a similar way to the proof of Theorem 2.3 by
using (1.5).
3.4. Remark. If we take α = 1, (3.2) and (3.3) reduce to (2.6) and (2.1), respectively.
3.5. Theorem. Suppose that f : ∆ = [0, b] × [0, d] → R is (α, m)-convex function on
the co-ordinates on ∆, where (α, m) ∈ (0, 1]2 . If 0 ≤ a < b < ∞, 0 ≤ c < d < ∞ and
fx ∈ L1 [0, d], fy ∈ L1 [0, b], then the following inequality holds:

Proof. Since f : ∆ → R is co-ordinated (α, m)-convex on ∆ it follows that the mapping
gx : [0, d] → R, gx (y) = f (x, y) is (α, m)-convex on [0, d] for all x ∈ [0, b]. Then by
inequality (1.6) one has:

By a similar argument applied to the mapping gy : [0, b] → [0, ∞), gy (x) = f (x, y)
with 0 ≤ a < b < ∞, we get
