The geometrically convex function is a generalization of convex functions and a useful tool to discover and prove inequalities. In present paper, the authors improve the concept of geometrically convex sets, define the $ p $-geometrically convex sets, the $ p $-geometrically convex hulls, and the $ p $-geometrically convex combinations, and give several equivalent conditions for judging $ p $-geometrically convex sets. On this basis, the authors introduce the concept of $ p $-geometrically convex functions and study its properties and invariant property under several operations. Moreover, the authors establish some new integral inequalities of $ p $-geometrically convex functions.
