ON THE OSTROWSKI TYPE INTEGRAL INEQUALITY M. Z. SARIKAYA Abstract. In this note, we establish an inequality of Ostrowski-type involving functions of two independent variables newly by using certain integral inequalities. 1. Introduction In [3], Ujević proved the following double integral inequality: Theorem 1. Let f : [a, b]→ R be a twice differentiable mapping on (a, b) and suppose that 00 γ ≤ f (t) ≤ Γ for all t ∈ (a, b). Then we have the double inequality 3S − Γ f (a) + f (b) 1 (b − a)2 ≤ − 24 2 b−a (1.1) Zb f (t)dt ≤ 3S − γ (b − a)2 24 a 0 JJ J I II Go back where S = 0 f (b) − f (a) . b−a In a recent paper [2], Liu et al. have proved the following two sharp inequalities of perturbed Ostrowski-type Full Screen Close Quit Received March 9, 2009; revised August 11, 2009. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification.

Under the assumptations of Theorem 1, we have 2 a + b Γ[(x − a)3 − (b − x)3 ] 1 b − a + + x − (S − Γ) 12(b − a) 8 2 2 Zb 1 (x − a)f (a) + (b − x)f (b) 1 ≤ f (x) + − f (t)dt 2 b−a b−a (1.2) a 2 3 3 γ[(x − a) − (b − x) ] 1 b − a a + b ≤ + + x − (S − γ), 12(b − a) 8 2 2 for all x ∈ [a, b], where S = f 0 (b) − f 0 (a) . If γ, Γ are given by b−a γ = min f 00 (t), t∈[a,b] Γ = max f 00 (t) t∈[a,b] then the inequality given by (2) is sharp in the usual sense.

Let I ⊂ R be an open interval, a, b ∈ I, a < b. f : I→ R is a differentiable function such that there exist constants γ, Γ ∈ R with γ ≤ f 0 (x) ≤ Γ, x ∈ [a, b]. Then we have Zb 1 (x − b)f (b) − (x − a)f (a) 1 f (x) − − f (t)dt 2 2(b − a) b−a (1.3) a (x − a)2 + (b − x)2 ≤ (Γ − γ), 8(b − a) for all x ∈ [a, b]. The main purpose of this paper is to establish new inequality similar to the inequalities (1)–(3) involving functions of two independent variables. 2. Main Result Theorem 4. Let f : [a, b] × [c, d]→ R be an absolutely continuous fuction such that the partial 2 f (t,s) derivative of order 2 exists and supposes that there exist constants γ, Γ ∈ R with γ ≤ ∂ ∂t∂s ≤Γ for all (t, s) ∈ [a, b] × [c, d].
