We present bounds for the solution to three types retarded nonlinear integral inequalities in two variables. By doing this, we generalizing the results presented in [3, 12]. To illustrate our results, we present some applications. 1. Introduction In the study of the qualitative behavior for solutions to nonlinear differential and integral equations, some specific types of inequalities are needed. The Gronwall inequality [5] and the nonlinear version by Bihari [1] are fundamental tools in the study of existence, uniqueness, boundedness, stability of solutions of differential, integral, and integro-differential equations. For this reason, several generalizations of the Gronwall inequality have been obtained, see [2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]. Retarded integral inequalities have played an extensive role in the study of partial differential and integral equations. In Section 2 of this article, based on the assumptions (A1)–(A3) below, we derive explicit bounds for the solutions to three types inequalities of retarded nonlinear integral equations in two variables. In Section 3, the bounds are applied for proving the global boundedness of solutions to the initial boundary-value problems. We stud the following three inequalities: ϕ(u(t, s)) ≤ a(t, s) + b(t, s) n Z X i=1 Z x Z y + αi (t0 ) αi (t) αi (t0 ) Z βi (s) h φ(u(x, y)) fi (x, y)(w(u(x, y)) βi (s0 ) i gi (m, n)w(u(m, n)) dn dm) + hi (x, y) dy dx βi (s0 ) 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 30D05, 26D10.

Main Results Let R be the set of real numbers, R+ : [0, ∞); let t0 , t1 , s0 , s1 be real numbers such that I := [t0 , t1 ); J := [s0 , s1 ). Denote by C i (M, N ), the class of all i-times continuously differentiable functions defined on the set M to the set N , 1 ≤ i ≤ n and C 0 (M, N ) = C(M, N ). The first order partial derivatives of a function z(x, y) defined on R2 with respect to x and y are denoted by D1 z(x, y)(= zx (x, y)) and D2 z(x, y)(= zy (x, y)) respectively. To prove our main results, we first list the following assumptions: (A1) a, b : I × J → (0, ∞) are nondecreasing in each variable; (A2) ϕ, w ∈ C(R+ , R+ ), where ϕ and w are strictly increasing and nondecreasing functions respectively with ϕ(0) = 0; ϕ(t) → ∞ as t → ∞ and w > 0 on (0, ∞); (A3) let αi ∈ C 1 (I, I) and βi ∈ C 1 (J, J) be non-decreasing with αi (t) ≤ t on I and βi (s) ≤ s on J; (A4) let u, fi , gi , hi ∈ C(I × J, R+ ), 1 ≤ i ≤ n and φ ∈ C(R+ , R+ ) a nondecreasing function such that φ(r) > 0 for r > 0; (A5) let φ1 , φ2 ∈ C(R+ , R+ ) be nondecreasing functions with φ1 (r) > 0 and φ2 (r) > 0 for r > 0. Theorem 2.1. Assume conditions (A1)–(A4) and relation (1.1) hold.
