Many researchers have given considerable attention to the inequalities (1.1), (1.2) and various
generalizations, extensions and variants of these inequalities have appeared in the literature, to
mention a few, see [4, 5] and the references cited therein. The aim of this note is to establish two

new inequalities similar to those of Čebyšev and Grüss inequalities by using Pečarič’s extension
of the Montgomery identity given in [6].
2. S TATEMENT OF R ESULTS
Let f : [a, b] → R be differentiable on [a, b] and f 0 : [a, b] → R is integrable on [a, b]. Then
the Montgomery identity holds [3]:

Let w : [a, b] → [0, ∞) be some probability density function, that is, an integrable function

Rt
satisfying a w (t) dt = 1, and W (t) = a w (x) dx for t ∈ [a, b], W (t) = 0 for t < a,
and W (t) = 1 for t > b. In [6] Pečarić has given the following weighted extension of the
Montgomery identity:
Z b
Z b
(2.3)
f (x) =
w (t) f (t) dt +
Pw (x, t) f 0 (t) dt,

where Pw (x, t) is the weighted Peano kernel defined by
(
W (t) ,
a ≤ t ≤ x,
(2.4)
Pw (x, t) =
W (t) − 1, x < t ≤ b.
We use the following notation to simplify the details of presentation. For some suitable functons
w, f, g : [a, b] → R,we set

T (w, f, g) =
w (x) f (x) g (x) dx −

and define k·k∞ as the usual Lebesgue norm on L∞ [a, b] that is, khk∞ := ess sup |h (t)| for
t∈[a,b]
h ∈ L∞ [a, b] .
Our main results are given in the following theorems.
Theorem 2.1. Let f, g : [a, b] → R be differentiable on [a, b] and f 0 , g 0 : [a, b] → R are

integrable on [a, b]. Let w : [a, b] → [0, ∞) be an integrable function satisfying a w (t) dt = 1.
