1. Introduction
A renowned integral inequality involving mapping with bounded derivative known as Ostrowski’s inequality was presented by Alexander Markovich Ostrowski in 1938 [1], which may be produced in various ways by using distinct techniques: direct calculation, Lagrange mean value theorem, Montgomery’s identity, etc., and can be stated as:
Theorem 1.
Let ζ be a real-valued continuous mapping on and differentiable on such that is bounded by some real constant K. Then
Here, the constant is the best possible in the sense that it cannot be replaced by any smaller constant. In recent versions, K is usually replaced by . This outcome is also valid for functions of bounded variation since is bounded.
Before we further proceed, let us denote the class of absolutely continuous functions by , which are defined on some real interval I.
Now we recall the celebrated Montgomery identity from “Inequalities for Functions and their Integrals and Derivatives” by Mitrinović et al. [2].
Theorem 2.
Let be differentiable on and integrable on . Then,
where
The following extended Montgomery identity via Taylor’s formula was obtained in [3].
Theorem 3.
Let be a function such that and , , an open interval, , . Then, the following identity holds
where
In [4], the following identities were obtained for and by using the above-mentioned extension of Montgomery’s identity.
Theorem 4.
Let all the assumptions from Theorem 3 hold and let and for () s.t. . Then,
where is defined in (5).
Theorem 5.
Let be a function such that and , an open interval, , . Let and be integrable functions such that . Then,
where is defined in (5).
Definition 1.
We say is a pair of conjugate exponents if and or if and or if and .
Let us denote by the Green’s function of the boundary value problem
The function G is given by (see [5])
and integration by parts easily yields that for any function the following identity holds
The function G is continuous, symmetric, and convex with respect to both variables t and s.
As a special choice, an Abel–Gontscharoff polynomial for two-point right focal interpolating polynomials for can be given as (see [6]):
where is Green’s function for the two-point right focal problem defined as
Motivated by the Abel–Gontscharoff identity (10) and related Green’s function (11), we would like to recall some new types of Green’s functions for , defined as in [7]:
In [7], it is also shown that all four Green’s functions are symmetric and continuous. These new Green’s functions allow us to adopt some new identities, which are described as follows.
The following result was obtained by using a Green’s function in [8].
Theorem 6.
Let be a function such that and , , an open interval, , . Moreover, let and for () such that and and let G be given by (8). Then
where
The integral version of Theorem 6 is given in the following theorem.
Theorem 7.
In [9], the authors proved the following results using new Green type functions as mentioned above.
Theorem 8.
The integral version of Theorem 8 is given in the following theorem.
Theorem 9.
In the literature, Ostrowski type inequalities have been examined broadly, since they have widespread applications in numerical analysis, special mean(s), and probability theory, among many others. In [10,11], Ostrowski type inequalities for continuous functions and their application in numerical integration are conferred. Some other Ostrowski type inequalities can be spotted in [5,12,13,14]. Some recently obtained generalizations of Ostrowski type inequalities via weighted generalizations of the Montgomery identity established by using the Hermite interpolating polynomial and Green’s functions can be found in [15].
This paper aims to provide some Ostrowski type inequalities via the extended version of Montgomery’s identity and using some of Green’s functions. For this purpose, the paper is organized in the following manner. After this introduction, in Section 2, we obtain new discrete and integral nature Ostrowski type inequalities using the extended version of Montgomery’s identity. In Section 3, we establish Ostrowski type inequalities using different stated Green’s functions involving the extended Montgomery identity. Finally, in Section 4, we obtain some results which are the generalizations of the estimation of the difference of two integral means (generalized results from [16,17,18,19]).
2. Ostrwoski Type Inequalities via the Extended Montgomery Identity
Theorem 10.
Let all the assumptions of Theorem 4 be valid. Moreover, assume that is a pair of conjugate exponents. Let be an R-integrable function for some Then we have

For the proof of the sharpness of the constant , let us define a function for which the equality in (29) is obtained.

Theorem 13.
Remark 1.
Now we give the integral version of the Theorem 12 only. Analogous results for Theorem 13 and Remark 1 are also valid. As the proofs are similar, the details are omitted.
4. Estimations of the Difference of Two Integral Means
In this section, we generalize the results from [17,18].
We have four possible cases for the two intervals and if . The first case is and the second We simply get the other two possible cases by interchanging

5. Conclusions
In this paper, we obtained some new Ostrowski type inequalities via the extended version of Montgomery’s identity and new Green’s functions. The results we acquired contain the identities for the sum and the integral. We also estimated the difference between two integral means. These results were obtained by taking the difference of the extended Montgomery identity for its sum and integral identities. It would be interesting to explore whether our method can be used to find such results for the weighted version of the extended Montgomery identity. Thus, the study of the estimation of the difference between two weighted integral means is a suggested future work.
