1. Introduction
Most of the inequalities relative to the integration and differentiation have their analog for sums and differences. Earlier, about thirty two years ago, these results were investigated separately as continuous and discrete cases. In 1988, Stephan Hilger introduced the theory of time scales that provides a platform to deal with discrete and continuous cases together [
1,
2].
English mathematician G. H. Hardy has introduced the following integral inequality ([
3], Theorem 327):
If
,
and
, then:
unless
. The constant is best possible.
Inequality (
1) is called Hardy’s integral inequality.
In [
4], Hardy proved the following generalization of inequality (
1).
If
,
,
and

then
unless
. The constant is the best possible.
In [
5], Oguntuase et al. established the following new multidimensional Hardy-type inequality:
Let
k(r, s) be a locally integrable kernel and
. Then,
holds. The arithmetic mean operator and general positive kernel are given by:
and
respectively, where
is a positive convex function.
Some variants of Hardy’s inequality are studied via time scale calculus in [
6,
7,
8,
9,
10,
11]. The study of integration theory for functions of two variables on time scales is started in [
12], after that many researchers used these integrals. The study of Hardy type inequalities for different recent settings are found in [
9,
11,
13,
14,
15,
16,
17,
18] and the references therein. In [
19], Nosheen et al. studied Hardy-type inequalities for functions of several variables with general kernels using the delta-integral.

In [
20], George A. Anastassiou generalized Hardy-type inequalities with general kernel, using Diamond-
integral, are given as:

In this paper, Hardy-type inequalities via diamond integrals using a multivariable convex function with general kernels are proved.
Firstly, in
Section 2, some necessary preliminary facts are recalled and Fubini’s Theorem for Diamond Integrals is proved. We have discussed Jensen’s Inequality and Hardy-type inequalities with general kernels for diamond integrals in
Section 3. In
Section 4, some inequalities with certain kernels are discussed. In
Section 5, Hilbert-type and Polya–Knopp type inequalities are proved in two ways. Lastly, some particular cases of Hardy-type inequalities are discussed. Our results generalize the results of [

7,
19].
