In this manuscript, a new class of extended (m1,m2)-convex and concave functions is introduced. After some properties of (m1,m2)-convex functions have been given, the inequalities obtained with Hölder and Hölder-İşcan and power-mean and improwed power-mean integral inequalities have been compared and it has been shown that the inequality with Hölder-İşcan inequality gives a better approach than...
