1. Introduction
In the early 1900s, the renowned mathematician David Hilbert formulated his famous inequality, known as the double series Hilbert inequality (see [
1]), wherein he established that if
are two real sequences, such that
and
then
In 1911, Schur demonstrated in his paper [
2] that the constant
in (
1) is optimal. Furthermore, he established the integral analogue of (
1), which is now recognized as the Hilbert integral inequality in the form
where
S and
T are real functions such that
, and
in (
2) is still the best possible constant factor.
The inequalities expressed as (
1) and (
2) are crucial in the theory and application of integral inequalities, especially in analyzing both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of solutions to differential and integral equations. Recently, there has been rapid development in fractal theory, which has found widespread use in science and engineering. Some researchers have utilized fractal theory and weight function methods to generalize classical inequalities effectively. For instance, Liu [
3] established a Hilbert-type integral inequality and its equivalent form on a fractal set. Hilbert-type inequalities play a significant role in mathematics, particularly in complex and numerical analysis. Over the years, these inequalities have seen numerous refinements, generalizations, extensions, and applications in the literature (see [
4,
5,
6,
7]).
In 1925, Hardy [
8] extended (
1) by introducing a pair of conjugate exponents

In [
9], the authors established the equivalent integral form of (

The constant factor
in (
3) and (
4) is optimal.
In 1998, Pachpatte [
10] presented a new inequality akin to the Hilbert inequality as follows: let

11] generalized (

12] established the continuous analogue of (
7) as follows: if

13] generalized (

In the last few decades, much attention has been devoted to establishing discrete analogues of the corresponding continuous results in various fields of analysis. This appears along with establishing a dynamic inequality in this paper by using a general domain called a time scale
. A time scale
is an arbitrary non-empty closed subset of the real numbers
. For more details about dynamic inequalities and applications on time scales, see [
14,
15,
16,
17,
18,
19].
The aim of this paper is to prove similar analogues of the inequalities (
8), (
9) on time scales, and we can also generalize (
10) on time scale delta calculus for an increasing function by establishing some new dynamic Hilbert-type inequalities on time scale delta calculus.
The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. In
Section 2, we show some basics of the time scale theory and some lemmas on time scales needed in
Section 3, where we prove our results. These results as special cases when
and
give the inequalities ((
8) and (
10)), (
9), respectively. Also, we can obtain other inequalities on different time scales, like
for
