Abstract
The most notable inequality pertaining convex functions is Jensen’s inequality which has tremendous applications in several fields. Mercer introduced an important variant of Jensen’s inequality called as Jensen–Mercer’s inequality. Fractal sets are useful tools for describing the accuracy of inequalities in convex functions. The purpose of this paper is to establish a generalized Jensen–Mercer inequality for a generalized convex function on a real linear fractal set [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]. Further, we also demonstrate some generalized Jensen–Mercer-type inequalities by employing local fractional calculus. Lastly, some applications related to Jensen–Mercer inequality and [Formula: see text]-type special means are given. The present approach is efficient, reliable, and may motivate further research in this area.
