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.

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.

Hilbert-type integral inequalities, including the well known Hilbert's integral inequality published in 1908, are important in analysis and its applications. This well organized handbook covers the newest methods of weight functions and most important recent results of Hilbert-type integral inequalities and applications in three classes of normal spaces. It is clear and well written, suitable for researchers, mathematicians and advanced students who wish to increase their familiarity with different topics of modern and classical mathematical inequalities related to Real Analysis and Operator Theory. Both basic and applied aspects are presented in this book. The many illustrative worked-out examples given in several chapters should help readers acquire expertise in this field.

Discrete Hilbert-type inequalities including Hilbert's inequality are important in mathematical analysis and its applications. In 1998, the author presented an extension of Hilbert's integral inequality with an independent parameter. In 2004, some new extensions of Hilbert's inequality were presented by introducing two pairs of conjugate exponents and additional independent parameters. Since then, a number of new discrete Hilbert-type inequalities have arisen. In this book, the author explains how to use the way of weight coefficients and introduce specific parameters to build new discrete Hilbert-type inequalities and consider some applications. The book is intended to augment the reader's understanding of Hilbert-type inequalities.

In 1934, G. H. Hardy et al. published a book entitled “Inequalities”, in which a few theorems about Hilbert-type inequalities with homogeneous kernels of degree-one were considered. Since then, the theory of Hilbert-type discrete and integral inequalities is almost built by Prof. Bicheng Yang in their four published books. This monograph deals with half-discrete Hilbert-type inequalities. By means of building the theory of discrete and integral Hilbert-type inequalities, and applying the technique of Real Analysis and Summation Theory, some kinds of half-discrete Hilbert-type inequalities with the general homogeneous kernels and non-homogeneous kernels are built. The relating best possible constant factors are all obtained and proved. The equivalent forms, operator expressions and some kinds of reverses with the best constant factors are given. We also consider some multi-dimensional extensions and two kinds of multiple inequalities with parameters and variables, which are some extensions of the two-dimensional cases. As applications, a large number of examples with particular kernels are also discussed. The authors have been successful in applying Hilbert-type discrete and integral inequalities to the topic of half-discrete inequalities. The lemmas and theorems in this book provide an extensive account of these kinds of inequalities and operators. This book can help many readers make good progress in research on Hilbert-type inequalities and their applications.
