A Comprehensive Analysis of Proportional Caputo-Hybrid Fractional Inequalities and Numerical Verification via Artificial Neural Networks

Accuracy in fractional numerical integration is often limited by the regularity of the integrand. This work proposes a flexible error estimation framework for proportional Caputo-hybrid integral operators based on s-convexity. We introduce a parametric Newton–Cotes formula (ν∈0,1) that bridges the gap between classical quadrature rules, recovering the fractional Trapezoidal, Midpoint, and Simpson’s methods as specific instances. In order to confirm the correctness of our results, we provide an illustrative example with graphical representations. Furthermore, we provide some additional results using Hölder’s and power mean inequalities and employ a verification strategy based on an Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) model. The ANN approach allows for high-dimensional parameter space exploration, demonstrating that the proposed inequalities provide robust and precise error estimates.
