1  Introduction

A study was initiated in Newton’s time, but, lately, it has captivated the consideration of numerous researchers due to its intriguing nature, known as the fractional calculus. For the previous three decades, the most charming bounds in modelling and simulation have been discovered in the frame of fractional calculus. The idea of the fractional operators has been mechanized because of the complexities related to a heterogeneous phenomenon. The fractional differential operators are equipped for catching the conduct of multidimensional media as they have diffusion processes. It was considered to be an essential device, and numerous issues can be demonstrated more appropriately and more precisely with differential equations having an arbitrary order. Calculus with fractional order is related to concrete adventures and is widely utilized in nanotechnology, optics, diseases, chaos theory and different other fields [1–8]. The fractional derivatives for various sorts of equations, describe that these models have a significant job in depicting the idea of mathematical problems that are linked with science and technology, see the references [9–11].

In the present scenario, numerous significant fractional derivative and integral operators are systematically and successfully analyzed with the assistance of fractional calculus, see [10,11]. Several assorted operators that have been recommended by numerous senior researchers like, Riemann, Hadamard, Antagana–Baleanu, Caputo and Fabrizio. Nevertheless, these operators have their own repressions. Recently, Abdeljawad [1] reported fractional operators are known as fractional conformable derivatives and integrals. The exponential and Mittag–Leffler functions are used as kernels by several researchers for developing new fractional techniques that provide assistance to many researchers consult the derivative to model and integrals in order to analyze the nonlocal dynamics due to the presence of nonsingular kernels and helps to find the solution for diverse classes of non-linear complex problems. Kilbas et al. [11] and Almeida [9] introduced the generalized RL and Caputo derivative operators in the sense of another function. Rashid et al. [12] proposed another novel fractional approach which comes into existence in the theory of fractional calculus, which is known as generalized proportional fractional operators with respect to another function .

Adopting the aforementioned trend, we delineate the significance of the novel fractional operator and future plan, we, in the present the framework, consider the Mittag–Leffler function, which assumes a dynamic job in portraying the idea of porous media just as establishing the several generalizations by employing more generalized fractional operator with Mittag–Leffler in their kernels.

Mathematical inequalities considered to be a significant tool in diverse areas of science and technology, among others; especially we point out the initial value problem, the stability of linear transformation, integral differential equations, and impulse equations [13–15]. Variants regarding fractional integral operators are the use of noteworthy significant strategies and are also highly implemented in natural and social sciences to portray real-world problems.

Briefly, inequalities involve solid and rich communication among analysis, geometry and technology. In [16], Agarwal explored some new inequalities for Hadamard fractional integral operators. Also, Rashid et al. [17] established Hermite-Hadamard inequalities for exponentially m-convex functions via extended Mittag Leffler function. In [18], researchers have been focused their attention in order to find the distinguished version of the reverse Minkowski inequality for quantum Hahn fractional integral operators. Set et al. [19] derived Chebyshev type inequalities by employing fractional integral operator having Mittag–Leffler function in the kernel. For more details, see [20–38] and the reference cited therein. The diverse utilities of fractional integral operators compelled us to show the speculations by using a family of n positive functions involving generalized fractional integrals operators with respect to another function as well-known special function in their kernel.

The principal objective of this article is that we demonstrate the notations of our newly introduced operator generalized fractional integral with respect to another function by introducing Mittag–Leffler function in their kernel. Also, we present the results concerning for a class of family of n continuous positive decreasing functions on by employing generalized fractional integral operator proposed by Andric [39], Salim et al. [40], Rahman et al. [41], Srivastava et al. [42], Prabhakar [43] and Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operators [44]. The idea is quite new and seems to have opened new doors of investigation towards various scientific fields of research including engineering, fluid dynamics, bio-sciences, chaos, meteorology, vibration analysis, bio-chemistry, aerodynamics and many more. The authors argued that the generalized fractional integral in Hilfer sense can capture a limited number of complex problems on one hand and on the other hands it can also capture different types of complexities, thus putting these two concepts together can help us to understand the complexities of existing nature in a much better way.

4  Conclusion

A new concept of integration is introduced in this paper is known as the generalized fractional integral operator in the Hilfer sense having Mittag–Leffler function in the kernel. This new formulation admits as particular cases of the well-known fractional integrals, introduced by Andric et al. [39], Salim et al. [40], Rahman et al. [41], Srivastava et al. [42], Prabhakar [43] and RL-fractional integral operators. The new integration is combining of Mittag–Leffler function and fractional integration. New features are presented and some new theorems established for a class of n positive continuous and decreasing functions on the interval The derived consequences are the generalizations of the results presented in [45,46]. In addition to this, the established outcomes for the new fractional integral concedes as specific cases the notable fractional integrals of Hilfer, Hilfer–Hadamard, Riemann–Liouville, Hadamard, Weyl and Liouville. The newly introduced scheme will be used to solve a couple of equations at the Darcy scale describing flow in a dual medium, the solution of the non-linear problem without considering any discretization, perturbation or transformations. Finally, we can obtain the analytical solutions, using the method of successive approximations, to some fractional differential equations by the proposed study. This new scheme will be opening new doors of investigation toward fractional and fractal differentiations.
