1. Introduction
In recent decades, the theory of convexity and inequalities has become an amazing and deep source of attention and inspiration in different areas of science. The combined study of these terminologies has had not only interesting and deep results in numerous subjects of applied and engineering sciences but also contributed equally towards numerical optimization. The concept of convexity is based and depends on the theory of inequalities and also plays a prominent and meaningful role in this field. The novel literature on inequalities always provides an excellent glimpse of the beauty and fascination of science. Integral inequalities have many applications in probability theory, information technology, statistics, numerical integration, stochastic processes, optimization theory, and integral operator theory.

19]. In [
20], İşcan explores an extended form of convex function, namely the n-polynomial convex function. The harmonic convex set in 2003 was first defined by Shi in [
21]. On this harmonic convex set, the harmonic convex function was introduced by Anderson et al. [
22]. Noor [
23] continued his work on estimations and extensions and investigated the harmonic convex function in a polynomial version and also made some improvements in the frame variational inequality (see [
24,
25]).
Dragomir [
26] was the first to define and research the term “exponential convex function” in the literature. After Dragomir, Awan [
27] conducted the study and refined this function. Kadakal [
28] presented a revised definition of exponential convexity. The remarkable significance and applications of exponential convexity are exploited in information sciences, stochastic optimization, data mining, sequential prediction, and statistical learning.
The construction of this manuscript is as follows. In
Section 2, we give some basic definitions and concepts which will be required throughout the manuscript’s following sections. In
Section 3, we introduce the modified harmonic exp
s-convex functions and discuss some properties of it. In
Section 4, using a newly introduced concept, a new sort of Hadamard-type inequality is achieved. Next, we prove and examine some extensions of the Hadamard-type inequality regarding the new definition with the help of Holder’s inequality in
Section 5. Finally, in
Section 6, future scopes of the present study and a brief conclusion are provided.
2. Preliminaries
For the reader’s interest and the quality of the manuscript, it will be best to study and explain some ideas, concepts, definitions, corollaries, theorems, and remarks in this part. The main aim of this part is to mention and discuss some already published definitions and ideas, which we require in our study in the following sections. We start by introducing the convex function and its generalizations in different versions and the Hermite–Hadamard-type inequality. In addition, some theorems regarding harmonic convex functions are added. We sum up this part by stating Holder’s and the power mean inequality, which will be needed in our further investigation.

Modified Harmonic Exponential -Convex Function and Its Algebraic Properties
The term convexity has gained an amazing image due to many applications in the realms of engineering, optimizations, and applied mathematics. Although many outcomes have been deduced under convexity, the majority of the problems regarding real life are nonconvex in nature. In the 20th century, many researchers gave attention to the term convexity, such as Jensen, Hermite, Holder, and Stolz. Throughout this century, an unprecedented amount of research was carried out, and important results were obtained in the field of convex analysis.

4. Generalized Form of Hadamard Inequality via Modified Harmonic Exponential s-Convex Function
Convexity is important and crucial in many branches of the pure and applied sciences. Massive generalizations of mathematical inequalities for multiple convex functions have significantly influenced traditional research. Numerous fields, including linear programming, combinatorics, theory of relativity, optimization theory, quantum theory, number theory, dynamics, and orthogonal polynomials are affected by and use integral inequalities. This issue has received much attention from researchers. The Hadamard inequality is the most widely used and popular inequality in the history and literature pertaining to convex theory.
This purpose of this section is to establish a new kind of the Hadamard inequality pertaining to modified harmonic exp s-convexity.

The study of integral inequalities in association with convex analysis presents an intriguing and stimulating area of study in the domain of mathematical interpretation. Due to their pivotal role and beneficial importance in many disciplines of science, the subject of inequalities has been described as an attractive field for mathematicians. Many mathematicians try to use and employ new ideas in order to advance the theory of inequalities. A great framework for starting and creating numerical tools for solving and researching challenging mathematical problems is provided by the word inequalities. This work has shown a new variant of Hadamard inequalities involving a new family of convex functions, namely the modified harmonic exp s-convex function. A new class of these functions has been investigated by introducing some algebraic properties. The new family of modified harmonic exp s-convex functions is an extended and generalized class of functions, including convex and harmonically convex functions, which have been proved. Furthermore, the new type of Hadamard-type inequality and its estimations have been achieved. Many researchers add efforts to the term inequality hypotheses to reveal a new dimension of applied analysis because working on this hypothesis has its own importance and wide scope. It is a fascinating and engrossing field of research for researchers. Now is the time to explore the significance of convex analysis and inequalities along with innovative numerical techniques.
