Introduction Integral inequalities play an important role in the qualitative analysis of the solutions to differential and integral equations. Many retarded inequalities have been discovered (see [2], [3], [5], [7]). However, we almost neglect the importance of advanced inequalities. After all, it does great benefit to solve the bound of certain integral equations, which help us to fulfill a diversity of desired goals. In this paper we establish two advanced integral inequalities and an application of our results is also given.

The following lemmas play an important role in this paper. Lemma 2.1. Let ϕ ∈ C(R+ , R+ ) be an increasing function with ϕ(∞) = ∞. Let ψ ∈ C(R+ , R+ ) be a nondecreasing function and let c be a nonnegative constant. Let α ∈ C 1 (R+ , R+ ) be nondecreasing with α(t) ≥ t on R+ . If u, f ∈ C(R+ , R+ ) and Z ∞ (2.1) ϕ(u(t)) ≤ c + f (s)ψ(u(s))ds, t ∈ R+ , α(t) then for 0 ≤ T ≤ t < ∞, Xueqin Zhao and Fanwei Meng Z −1 −1 u(t) ≤ ϕ G [G(c) + (2.2) A Numerical Method in Terms of the Third Derivative for a Delay Integral Equation from Biomathematics ∞ f (s)ds] , α(t) Rz ds , z ≥ z0 > 0, ϕ−1 , G−1 are respectively the inverse where G(z) = z0 ψ[ϕ−1 (s)] of ϕ and G, T ∈ R+ is chosen so that Z ∞ (2.3a) G(c) + f (s)ds ∈ Dom(G−1 ), t ∈ [T, ∞). α(t) Z ∞ −1 (2.3b) G G(c) + f (s)ds ∈ Dom(ϕ−1 ), t ∈ [T, ∞). α(t) Proof.

Differentiating (2.4) and using (2.5) and the monotonicity of ϕ−1 , ψ, we deduce that z 0 (t) = −f α(t) ψ u α(t) α0 (t) ≥ −f α(t) ψ ϕ−1 z(α(t)) α0 (t) ≥ −f α(t) ψ ϕ−1 z(t) α0 (t). For ψ[ϕ−1 (z(t))] ≥ ψ[ϕ−1 (z(∞))] = ψ[ϕ−1 (c + ε)] > 0, from the definition of G, the above relation gives 0 d z (t) G(z(t)) = ≥ −f α(t) α0 (t). −1 dt ψ[ϕ (z(t))] Setting t = s, and integrating it from t to ∞ and letting ε → 0 yields Z ∞ G z(t) ≤ G(c) + f (s)ds, t ∈ R+ . α(t) From (2.3), (2.5) and the above relation, we obtain the inequality (2.2). In fact, we can regard Lemma 2.1 as a generalized form of an Ou-Iang type inequality with advanced argument.
