Due to his better work in mathematical inequalities and applications, F. Qi and his academic groups obtained support from the National Natural Science Foundation of China with Grant No. 10001016 between 2001 and 2003. Due to this, Qi obtained an invitation and support from Dr. Professor Sever S. Dragomir to visit Victoria University (Melbourne, Australia) for collaboration between November 2001 and January 2002. This is his first visit abroad. Supported by the China Scholarship Council, he visited Victoria University again to collaborate with Dr. Professor Pietro Cerone and Sever S. Dragomir between March 2008 and February 2009.
In (Definition 7 []), the authors introduced the following notion: Suppose that a non-empty set is invex with respect to for . We say that a function is -preinvex with respect to if and only if for and . The main results are the Hermite\u2013Hadamard type inequalities in (Theorems 5 to 9 []), where the authors mainly use the assumption that the function is -preinvex for some real number and . Until now, Qi and Xi\u2019s academic group have jointly published over 120 papers in reputable peer-review journals. Due to their better work in generalizing convex functions and in establishing the Hermite\u2013Hadamard type inequalities, Qi and Xi\u2019s group acquired financial support from the National Natural Science Foundation of China with Grant No. 11361038 between 2014 and 2017.
