Hilbert-type inequalities include Hilbert's inequalities, Hardy-Hilbert-type inequalities and Yang-Hilbert-type inequalities, which are important in Analysis and its applications.They are mainly divided three kinds of integral, discrete and half-discrete.In recent twenty years, there are many advances in research on Hilbert-type inequalities,especially in Yang-Hilbert-type inequalities. In this book, by using the way of weight functions, the parameterized idea and technique of Real and Functional Analysis, we introduce multi-parameters and provide three kinds of double Hilbert-type inequalities with the general measurable kernels and the best possible constant factors. The equivalent forms, the reverses and some particular inequalities are obtained. Furthermore, the operator expressions with the norm, a large number of examples on the norm, some composition formulas of the operators, and three kinds of compositional inequalities with the best possible constant factors are considered. The theory of double Hilbert-type inequalities and operators are almost built. The lemmas and theorems provide an extensive account of these kinds of inequalities and operators.

In this book, applying the weight functions, the idea of introduced parameters and the techniques of real analysis and functional analysis, we provide a new kind of half-discrete Hilbert-type inequalities named in Mulholland-type inequality. Then, we consider its several applications involving the derivative function of higher-order or the multiple upper limit function. Some new reverses with the partial sums are obtained. We also consider some half-discrete Hardy-Hilbert’s inequalities with two internal variables involving one derivative function or one upper limit function in the last chapter. The lemmas and theorems provide an extensive account of these kinds of half-discrete inequalities and operators.

As Richard Bellman has so elegantly stated at the Second International Conference on General Inequalities (Oberwolfach, 1978), “There are three reasons for the study of inequalities: practical, theoretical, and aesthetic.” On the aesthetic aspects, he said, “As has been pointed out, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, it is generally agreed that certain pieces of music, art, or mathematics are beautiful. There is an elegance to inequalities that makes them very attractive.” The content of the Handbook focuses mainly on both old and recent developments on approximate homomorphisms, on a relation between the Hardy–Hilbert and the Gabriel inequality, generalized Hardy–Hilbert type inequalities on multiple weighted Orlicz spaces, half-discrete Hilbert-type inequalities, on affine mappings, on contractive operators, on multiplicative Ostrowski and trapezoid inequalities, Ostrowski type inequalities for the Riemann–Stieltjes integral, means and related functional inequalities, Weighted Gini means, controlled additive relations, Szasz–Mirakyan operators, extremal problems in polynomials and entire functions, applications of functional equations to Dirichlet problem for doubly connected domains, nonlinear elliptic problems depending on parameters, on strongly convex functions, as well as applications to some new algorithms for solving general equilibrium problems, inequalities for the Fisher’s information measures, financial networks, mathematical models of mechanical fields in media with inclusions and holes.

This book is aimed toward graduate students and researchers in mathematics, physics and engineering interested in the latest developments in analytic inequalities, Hilbert-Type and Hardy-Type integral inequalities, and their applications. Theories, methods, and techniques of real analysis and functional analysis are applied to equivalent formulations of Hilbert-type inequalities, Hardy-type integral inequalities as well as their parameterized reverses. Special cases of these integral inequalities across an entire plane are considered and explained. Operator expressions with the norm and some particular analytic inequalities are detailed through several lemmas and theorems to provide an extensive account of inequalities and operators.

In 1934, G. H. Hardy et al. published a famous book entitled “Inequalities”, in which a theory about Hardy-Hilbert-type inequalities with the general homogeneous kernels of degree-1 and the best possible constant factors was built by introducing one pair of conjugate exponents. In January 2009, for generalized theory of Hardy-Hilbert-type inequalities, a book entitled “The Norm of Operator and Hilbert-Type Inequalities” (by Bicheng Yang) was published by Science Press of China, which considered the theory of Hilbert-type inequalities and operators with the homogeneous kernels of degree negative numbers and the best possible constant factors, by introducing two pairs of conjugate exponents and a few independent parameters. In October 2009 and January 2011, two books entitled “Hilbert-Type Integral Inequalities” and “Discrete Hilbert-Type Inequalities” (by Bicheng Yang) were published by Bentham Science Publishers Ltd., which considered mainly Hilbert-type integral and discrete inequalities with the homogeneous kernels of degree real numbers and applications. In 2012, a book entitled “Nonlinear Analysis: Stability, Approximation, and Inequality” was published by Springer, which contained Chapter 42 entitled “Hilbert-Type Operator: Norms and Inequalities” (by Bicheng Yang). In this chapter, the author defined a general Yang-Hilbert-type integral operator and studied six particular kinds of this operator with different measurable kernels in several normed spaces. In 2014, a book entitled “Half-Discrete Hilbert-Type Inequalities” was published in World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd. (in Singapore), in which, the authors Bicheng Yang and L. Debnath considered some kinds of half-discrete Yang-Hilbert-type inequalities and their applications. In a word, the theory of Hilbert-type integral, discrete and half- discrete inequalities is almost built by Bicheng Yang et al. in the above stated books.

This book, in honor of Hari M. Srivastava, discusses essential developments in mathematical research in a variety of problems. It contains thirty-five articles, written by eminent scientists from the international mathematical community, including both research and survey works. Subjects covered include analytic number theory, combinatorics, special sequences of numbers and polynomials, analytic inequalities and applications, approximation of functions and quadratures, orthogonality and special and complex functions. The mathematical results and open problems discussed in this book are presented in a simple and self-contained manner. The book contains an overview of old and new results, methods, and theories toward the solution of longstanding problems in a wide scientific field, as well as new results in rapidly progressing areas of research. The book will be useful for researchers and graduate students in the fields of mathematics, physics and other computational and applied sciences.

Hilbert-type inequalities, including Hilbert's inequalities proved in 1908, Hardy-Hilbert-type inequalities proved in 1934, and Yang-Hilbert-type inequalities first proved around 1998, play an important role in analysis and its applications. These inequalities are mainly divided in three classes: integral, discrete and half-discrete. During the last twenty years, there have been many research advances on Hilbert-type inequalities, and especially on Yang-Hilbert-type inequalities.In the present monograph, applying weight functions, the idea of parametrization as well as techniques of real analysis and functional analysis, we prove some new Hilbert-type integral inequalities as well as their reverses with parameters. These inequalities constitute extensions of the well-known Hardy-Hilbert integral inequality. The equivalent forms and some equivalent statements of the best possible constant factors associated with several parameters are considered. Furthermore, we also obtain the operator expressions with the norm and some particular inequalities involving the Riemann-zeta function and the Hurwitz-zeta function. In the form of applications, by means of the beta function and the gamma function, we use the extended Hardy-Hilbert integral inequalities to consider several Hilbert-type integral inequalities involving derivative functions and upper limit functions. In the last chapter, we consider the case of Hardy-type integral inequalities. The lemmas and theorems within provide an extensive account of these kinds of integral inequalities and operators.Efforts have been made for this monograph hopefully to be useful, especially to graduate students of mathematics, physics and engineering, as well as researchers in these domains.
