Abstract
In this paper, Hardy–Leindler, Hardy–Yang and Hwang type inequalities are extended on time scales calculus. These extensions are depending upon use of symmetric multiple delta integrals. The target is achieved by utilizing some inequalities in literature along with mathematical induction principle and Fubini’s theorem on time scales. The obtained inequalities are discussed in discrete, continuous and quantum calculus in search of applications. Particular cases of proved results include Hardy, Copson, Hardy–Littlewood, Levinson and Bennett-type inequalities for symmetric sums.
1. Introduction
In 1920, Hardy proved following discrete inequality [1].
where is the sequence of nonnegative real numbers. The constant in (1) is best possible. This inequality asserts that whenever
In 1928, Copson [2] gave extension to Hardy’s discrete inequality (1) and established the following:
If and then for
where and for
In 1970 Leindler [3] proposed the following inequality analogous to that of Copson’s inequality (3), by changing the parameters on weight function. He proved that, if and , then
where
In 1987 Bennett [4] proved that if and , then
Some Hardy-type inequalities for classical integrals are the following:
In [5], Hardy established the integral version of his inequality (1) by using the calculus of variations stated as; if is a positive integrable function over any finite interval , and is an integrable function over for , then
The constant in (6) is best possible. In 1928, Hardy [6] generalized the inequality (6) and proved that if is a positive integrable function over any finite interval , is an integrable function over then for we obtain
and for ,
In 1964, Levinsen [7] extended the Hardy continuous inequality (6) by applying Jensen’s inequality. Precisely, he proved that, if is a real-valued positive convex function for , for , and there exists a constant such that
for all , then

In 1976 Copson [8] proved the integral forms of his inequalities (2) and (3) which can be considered as generalizations of the inequalities (6) and (8). In particular, Copson proved that if and , then
where and , and if , , then
where .
In 1999 Yang and Hwang [9] generalized the inequality (9) due to Levinson and proved that, if , , , are non-negative functions and there exists a constant such that

S. Hilger have introduced the theory of time scales (unification as well extension of discrete and continuous calculus) in [10]. Some developments in this direction can be found in [11,12]. Different authors have adopted different techniques to study dynamic inequalities on time scales. S. H. Saker with different co-authors verified many variants of Hardy inequalities on time scales in [1,5,13,14,15,16,17]. Dynamic Hardy-type inequalities with non-conjugate parameters are studied in [18] and dynamic inequalities in quotients with general kernels and measures are proved in [19]. In [20,21], the delta fractional integrals are used instead of classical delta integrals to generalize Hardy-type inequalities for convex and superquadratic functions, respectively. Next, we have included few dynamical Hardy inequalities.
In [22], P. Rehak proved the time scale version of (6) and found its applications to half-linear dynamic equations. His inequality is the following one: if , g is a nonnegative rd-continuous function and the delta integral exists as a finite number, then
They also found that if, in addition, as , then the constant in (13) is the best possible. In [16] the authors proved the time scale version of (7) which is given by
where and there exists a constant with , for . They also proved that if , and , then
Hardy–Leindler-type inequalities in the settings of time scale calculus ([15], Theorems 2.9 and 2.10) are the following: for any time scale , let , and and g be non-negative functions. If
then
and
For any time scale , let , and and g be non-negative. If
then
and
However, the next results consist of Hardy–Yang- and Hwang-type inequalities ([17], Theorem 2.1, Theorem 2.2), respectively. Denote a time scale by with . Let and be an growing function on . Additionally adopt that there occurs a fixed such that,
then
where
and
For any time scale , let , , and , be increasing functions on . Furthermore, for a constant . Consider
then

and
Dynamic calculus on time scales for functions depending upon more than one variable along with many applications is compiled in [11]. Study of Hardy-type inequalities on time scales via convexity in several variables can be found in [23]. Some refinements of results in [23] including multidimensional dynamic inequalities with general kernels and measures are given in [24]. Further some results concerning with multivariate Hardy type inequalities can be seen in [25,26,27,28].
Motivated by this trend of developing inequalities for function of several variables, Hardy–Leindler-, Hardy–Yang- and Hwang-type inequalities are extended for multiple delta integrals in this paper. The organization of this paper is described as follows: Section 2 deals the precepts related to basic essentials of time scales calculus. Section 3 consists of the main results of the paper, in which Hardy–Leindler-type inequalities for function of several variables are proved and special cases are studied for symmetric sums and multiple classical integrals by assigning particular values to time scales and by making restrictions to the functions involved in proved inequalities. Hardy–Yang- and Hwang-type inequalities for functions of more than one variable along with applications are also part of Section 3. Finally concluding remarks are given in Section 5.
2. Preliminaries
A time scale is made up of closed sets of real numbers [12]. Therefore, for sets of real numbers, counting numbers are the models of time scales. However, for the sets of rational numbers, complex numbers and open interval are not time scales. The operator , for is called forward jump operator if and the operator , for , is called backward jump operator if . If the point satisfies , then it is right scattered and if , then it is left scattered. If a point is left scattered and right scattered simultaneously, then it is called an isolated point. Similarly, if and , then it is right dense, and it is left dense if and . The points which are left dense as well as right dense are called dense points. Let be defined by and for are forward and backward graininess functions, respectively. Suppose a function satisfies:
- g is continuous at right dense points on ;
- the left hand limits exist and are finite at left dense points on ;then, g is right-dense continuous (rd-continuous) on .
The set of all continuous functions is denoted by .

Let there exist two time scales measure spaces and which have finite dimensions. If is integrable function and if we define the function for almost every and for almost every , then is integrable on is integrable on B, and

5. Conclusions
Some multidimensional dynamic inequalities of Hardy–Leindler-, Hardy–Yang- and Hwang-type on time scales are derived in present paper. To demonstrate the validity of the results, we have deduced several Hardy-type inequalities given in the literature from newly obtained results, which include some dynamic Hardy inequalities for functions of one variable from [15,16,17,22,30]. By choosing for all in obtained results, we succeed to obtain multivariate generalized forms of some inequalities from [1,2,3,4], whereas substitution of produces some multidimensional discrete Hardy-type inequalities from [5,6,7,8,9]. Moreover, main results are also discussed by fixing which are helpful to find all Hardy-, Copson-, Levinson-, and Bennett-type inequalities in quantum calculus as well. It is also worth mentioning here that the results of the paper can be reconstructed with the help of nabla calculus. Future plan may carry some multidimensional Hardy type inequalities involving convex combination of delta and nabla integrals based upon these results.
