Abstract
In this article, we discuss several novel generalized Ostrowski-type inequalities for functions whose derivative module is relatively convex in time scales calculus. Our core findings are proved by using the integration by parts technique, Hölder’s inequality, and the chain rule on time scales. These derived inequalities expand the existing literature, enriching specific integral inequalities within this domain.

1. Introduction
The Ostrowski inequality, established in classical literature since 1938 [1], provides an upper bound for the approximation of the integral average by the value of the function’s derivative at a point within the interval of integration. Mathematically, it is expressed as follows: suppose that is a differentiable function in (the interior of the interval I), such that , where , and If , then

is satisfied for each . The function as s-convex in the second sense or -convex if
, and Moreover, we denominate the function as s-convex in the first sense or -convex if
, and

, and
In [4], Cortez et al. evidenced that if is a differentiable function on such that where with Moreover, if is relatively convex with respect to a function in and then

On the other hand, in this article, we establish some new generalizations of Ostrowski-type inequalities on a general domain called a time scale , which enable us to avoid establishing the dynamic inequalities twice (once in continuous calculus and another in discrete calculus). The dynamic inequalities on time scales have been developed by many authors. For a comprehensive overview of the dynamic inequalities on time scales, see the papers [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19].
Our objective in this article is to establish the time-scale version of the inequality (4) and explore some implications for relatively convex functions in both the first and second senses.

4. Conclusions
In this manuscript, we discussed different types of Ostrowski inequalities for functions whose derivative module is relatively convex. Our obtained results for () generalize the inequalities of Vivas-Cortez, Garcia, and Hernández [4]. In future work, we will continue to generalize more fractional dynamic inequalities by using Specht’s ratio and Kantorovich’s ratio.
