Here we establish a series of various fractional Polya type integral inequalities with the help of generalized right and left fractional derivatives. We give an application to complex valued functions defined on the unit circle. 1. Introduction We mention the following famous Polya’s integral inequality, see [12], [13, p. 62], [14] and [15, p. 83]. Theorem 1. Let f (x) be differentiable and not identically a constant on [a, b] with f (a) = f (b) = 0. Then there exists at least one point ξ ∈ [a, b] such that Z b 4 |f 0 (ξ)| > f (x) dx. (1) (b − a)2 a In [16], Feng Qi presents the following very interesting Polya type integral inequality (2), which generalizes (1). Theorem 2. Let f (x) be differentiable and not identically constant on [a, b] with f (a) = f (b) = 0 and M = supx∈[a,b] |f 0 (x)|. Then ¯Z b ¯ ¯ ¯ (b − a)2 ¯ ¯≤ M, (2) f (x) dx ¯ ¯ 4 a where (b−a)2 4 in (2) is the best constant. The above motivate the current paper. In this article, we present univariate fractional Polya type integral inequalities in various cases, similar to (2). For this purpose we need the following fractional calculus background. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 26D10, 26D15 Keywords and phrases: Polya integral inequality; fractional derivative. 387 388 G. A. Anastassiou Let α > 0, m = [α], β = α − m, 0 < β < R1, f ∈ C([a, b]), [a, b] ⊂ R, ∞ x ∈ [a, b]. The gamma function Γ is given by Γ(α) = 0 e−t tα−1 dt. We define the left Riemann-Liouville integral Z x 1 a+ (x − t)α−1 f (t) dt, (Jα f )(x) = Γ(α) a α a ≤ x ≤ b. We define the subspace Ca+ ([a, b]) of C m ([a, b]): © ª a+ (m) α Ca+ ([a, b]) = f ∈ C m ([a, b]) : J1−β f ∈ C 1 ([a, b]) . α For f ∈ Ca+ ([a, b]), we define the left generalized α-fractional derivative of f over [a, b] as ¡ a+ (m) ¢0 α f := J1−β , Da+ f see [1, p. 24]. Canavati in [5], first introduced the above over [0, 1]. Notice that α Da+ f ∈ C([a, b]). We need the following left fractional Taylor’s formula, see [1, pp. 8–10], and in [5] the same formula over [0, 1] that appeared first. α ([a, b]). Theorem 3. Let f ∈ Ca+ (i) If α ≥ 1, then (x − a)2 (x − a)m−1 f (x) = f (a) + f 0 (a)(x − a) + f 00 (a) + · · · + f (m−1) (a) 2 (m − 1)! Z x 1 α f )(t) dt, for all x ∈ [a, b]. + (x − t)α−1 (Da+ Γ(α) a (ii) If 0 < α < 1, we have Z x 1 α f (x) = (x − t)α−1 (Da+ f )(t) dt, for all x ∈ [a, b]. Γ(α) a Let again α > 0, m = [α], β = α − m, f ∈ C([a, b]), call the right RiemannLiouville fractional integral operator by Z b 1 α (Jb− f )(x) := (t − x)α−1 f (t) dt, Γ(α) x x ∈ [a, b], see also [2, 8–10, 17]. Define the subspace of functions © ª 1−β (m) α Cb− ([a, b]) := f ∈ C m ([a, b]) : Jb− f ∈ C 1 ([a, b]) . Define the right generalized α-fractional derivative of f over [a, b] as ¡ 1−β (m) ¢0 α , Db− f = (−1)m−1 Jb− f 0 α see [2]. We set Db− f = f . Notice that Db− f ∈ C([a, b]). We need the following right Taylor fractional formula from [2]. 389 Univariate fractional Polya type integral inequalities α Theorem 4. Let f ∈ Cb− ([a, b]), α > 0, m := [α]. Then (i) If α ≥ 1, we get f (x) = m−1 X k=0 f (k) (b) α α (x − b)k + (Jb− Db− f )(x), k! all x ∈ [a, b]. (ii) If 0 < α < 1, we get α α f (x) = Jb− Db− f (x) = 1 Γ(α) Z b x α (t − x)α−1 (Db− f )(t) dt, all x ∈ [a, b]. Definition 5. [3] Let f ∈ C([a, b]), x ∈ [a, b], α > 0, m := [a]. Assume that a+b α α f ∈ Cb− ([ a+b 2 , b]) and f ∈ Ca+ ([a, 2 ]). We define the balanced Canavati type fractional derivative by ( α Db− f (x), for a+b 2 ≤ x ≤ b, α D f (x) := α Da+ f (x), for a ≤ x < a+b 2 . In [4], we proved the following fractional Polya type integral inequality without any boundary conditions. α ([a, a+b Theorem 6. Let 0 < α < 1, f ∈ C([a, b]). Assume f ∈ Ca+ 2 ]) and a+b α f ∈ Cb− ([ 2 , b]). Set © α ª α M1 (f ) = max kDa+ f k∞,[a, a+b ] , kDb− f k∞,[ a+b ,b] .

(4) Γ(α + 2)2α Inequalities (4) are sharp, namely they are attained by ½ (x − a)α , x ∈ [a, a+b 2 ] f∗ (x) = , 0 < α < 1. a+b α (b − x) , z ∈ [ 2 , b] (5) Clearly here non zero constant functions f are excluded. The last result also motivates this work. Remark 7. ([4]) When α ≥ 1, thus m = [α] ≥ 1, and by assuming that f (k) (a) = f (k) (b) = 0, k = 0, 1, . . . , m − 1, we can prove the same statements (4), (5) as in Theorem 6. If we set there α = 1 we derive exactly Theorem 2. So we have generalized Theorem 2. Again here f (m) cannot be a constant different than zero, equivalently, f cannot be a non-trivial polynomial of degree m. We continue here with other interesting univariate fractional Polya type inequalities. 390 G. A. Anastassiou 2. Main results We present our first main result. α Theorem 8. Let α ≥ 1, m = [α], f ∈ C([a, b]). Assume f ∈ Ca+ ([a, a+b 2 ]) a+b α (k) (k) and f ∈ Cb− ([ 2 , b]), such that f (a) = f (b) = 0, k = 0, 1, . . . , m − 1.

Let f : [a, b] → R be continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b) whose derivative f 0 : (a, b) → R is bounded on (a, b), i.e., kf 0 k∞ := 394 G. A. Anastassiou supt∈(a,b) |f 0 (t)| < +∞.

Application Inequalities for complex valued functions defined on the unit circle were studied extensively by S. Dragomir, see [6, 7]. We give here our version for these functions involved in a Polya type inequality, by applying a result of this article. Let t ∈ [a, b] ⊆ [0, 2π), the unit circle arc A = {z ∈ C : z = eit , t ∈ [a, b]}, and f : A → C be a continuous function. Clearly here there exist functions u, v : A → R continuous, the real and the complex part of f , respectively, such that f (eit ) = u(eit ) + iv(eit ). So that f is continuous, iff u, v are continuous. Call g(t) = f (eit ), l1 (t) = u(eit ), l2 (t) = v(eit ), t ∈ [a, b]; so that g : [a, b] → C and l1 , l2 : [a, b] → R are continuous functions in t. If g has a derivative with respect to t, then l1 , l2 have also derivatives with respect to t. In that case ft (eit ) = ut (eit ) + ivt (eit ), (i.e. g 0 (t) = l10 (t) + il20 (t)), which means ft (cos t + i sin t) = ut (cos t + i sin t) + ivt (cos t + i sin t). Let us call x = cos t, y = sin t. Then ut (eit ) = ut (cos t + i sin t) = ut (x + iy) = ut (x, y) = ∂u ∂x ∂u ∂y ∂u(eit ) ∂u(eit ) + = (− sin t) + cos t. ∂x ∂t ∂y ∂t ∂x ∂y Univariate fractional Polya type integral inequalities 395 Similarly we find that ∂v(eit ) ∂v(eit ) (− sin t) + cos t. ∂x ∂y Rb Since g is continuous on [a, b], then a f (eit ) dt exists. Furthermore it holds vt (eit ) = Z b Z f (eit ) dt = a b Z u(eit ) dt + i a b v(eit ) dt. a We have here that ¯Z b ¯ Z b Z b Z b ¯ ¯ it it it ¯ ¯≤ f (e ) dt |f (e )| dt ≤ |u(e )| dt + |v(eit )| dt ¯ ¯ a a a a Z b Z b = |l1 (t)| dt + |l2 (t)| dt. a a We give the following application of Theorem 10.
