Two classes of generalized convex functions in the sense of Beckenbach are considered. For both classes, we show that the existence of support curves implies their generalized convexity and obtain an extremum property of these functions. Furthermore, we establish Hadamard’s inequality for them.

In this paper, firstly we prove an integral identity that one can derive several new equalities for special selections of n from this identity: Secondly, we established more general integral inequalities for functions whose second derivatives of absolute values are GA-convex functions based on this equality.

In this paper, we give a new concept which is a generalization of the concepts quasi-convexity and harmonically quasi-convexity and establish a new identity. A consequence of the identity is that we obtain some new general inequalities containing all of the Hermite-Hadamard and Simpson-like type for functions whose derivatives in absolute value at certain power are p-quasi-convex. Some applications to special means of real numbers are also given.

The paper presents sufficient conditions for certain functions to be convex. Functions of this type often appear in Markov decision processes, where their maximum is the solution of the problem. Since a convex function takes its maximum at an extreme point, the conditions may greatly simplify a problem. In some cases a full solution may be obtained after the reduction is made. Some illustrative examples are discussed.
