1. Introduction
Within Mathematical Sciences today, one of the notions that most attracts
the attention of researchers is that of a convex function ([20]). Its theoretical
overlaps and its multiple applications have made it the center of various works
and investigations, with which it has been expanded in multiple directions. In
[18] you can find a broad panorama of this development.

In [15] the author introduces the class of functions (α, m)−convex, as fol-
lows:
The function f : [0, ∞] → R is said to be (α, m)− convex, where (α, m) ∈
(0, 1] × (0, 1], if for each a, b ∈ [0, ∞) and t ∈ [0, 1], we have:
and Z a2
α 1
Ia− φ(x) = (t − x)α−1 φ(t) dt, x < a2 . (3)
2 Γ (α) x
Next we present the Weighted Integral Operators, which will be the basis
of our work.
Definition 1.3. Let f ∈ L ([a, b]) and let k be a continuous and positive
function, k : [0, 1] → [0, +∞), with first order derivatives piecewise continuous
on I. Then the Weighted Fractional Integrals are defined by (right and left
respectively):
Z t
q k 0 t−τ
Ja+ f (t) = k f (τ )dτ (4)
a t−a
and
b
τ −t
Z
p 0
Jbk− f (t) = k f (τ )dτ (5)
t b−t
Remark 1.4. To have a clearer idea of the amplitude of the Definition 1.3,
let’s consider some particular cases of the kernel k 0 :
(α−1)
(2) If k 0 (t) = tΓ(α) , then we obtain the Riemann-Liouville Fractional Integral
right, and left can be obtained similarly.
Of course there are other known integral operators, fractional or not, that
can be obtained as particular cases of the previous one, but we leave it to
interested readers.
The main purpose of this paper is to establish several integral inequalities
of Simpson type using the Definition 1.3 of weighted integral.

Multiplying both sides of (7) and (8) by (w−ma)

subtracting the last from the first, we get

Remark 2.2. If we take k(t) = 2 − 15 , we have the Lemma 2.1 of [14].
Let’s call
k(0) ma + w w+b
S = k(1)f (w) + (w − ma)f + (b − w)f
b − ma 2 2
2 b k w + b ma + w
− Jw+ f +ma Jwk − f . (9)

From this result, we obtain different Simpson-type inequalities, which are gen-
eralizations of several reported in the literature.
Based on the Lemma 2.1, we can obtain the following inequality.

3. Conclusions
In this note we obtain new inequalities of the Simpson type, with different
notions of convexity, using weighted integrals. The results obtained contain
several known ones reported in the literature.
On the other hand, the results obtained can be generalized using the recently
defined convex (h,m)-modified functions (see [4] and [17]).
Taking into account the Remark 1.4 the results obtained opens up new
possibilities for future work, to which several fractional integrals can be used
to establish new specific fractional integral inequalities.
