In recent years, many articles have been published on the subject of fractional inequalities, which have been studied by many researchers to prove the inequalities of fractional types by using the definition of Riemann–Liouville and Caputo derivatives [
19]. In [
20], the authors gave a new definition of conformable fractional calculus on time scales.
Motivated by the above-mentioned work, this research article aims to establish new Hardy-type inequalities by utilizing alpha-conformable calculus on time scales. The proofs of these inequalities rely on employing the properties of differentiation and integration on time scales. They give the generalization of known inequalities as well as a few new ones for nabla-integrals through the choice of some special time scales. The novelty of this research lies in its pioneering application of alpha-conformable calculus on time scales to establish a new class of Hardy-type inequalities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to explore this specific combination. Our study provides not only a direct generalization of several classical inequalities but also introduces several new ones, particularly for nabla-integrals, by judiciously selecting certain time scales. The proofs of our results are built upon the foundational properties of this novel calculus, thereby extending the existing body of knowledge in the field of dynamic inequalities.
The remainder of this article is structured as follows:
Section 2 presents some preliminaries about fractional conformable calculus on time scales.
Section 3 presents the main results.
Section 4 provides an overview of the findings.
2. Fundamental Concepts
In this section, we introduce key concepts related to the conformable fractional derivative and integral of order on a general time scale . Let us now proceed with an exploration of time scale calculus. For the forward and backward jump operators are defined as follows: and , respectively.

In this article, we used delta conformable calculus on time scales to explain some new weighted dynamic Hardy-type inequalities. Our proposed results show the possibility of producing some original discrete and continuous inequalities. Furthermore, we presented some inequalities as special cases: integral inequalities and discrete inequalities.
