Abstract
The Hermite–Hadamard inequality was first considered for convex functions and has been studied extensively. Recently, many extensions were given with the use of general convex functions. In this paper we present some variants of the Hermite–Hadamard inequality for general convex functions in the context of q-calculus. From our theorems, we deduce some recent results in the topic.
