A generalized lemmas is proved and several new inequalities for differentiable co-ordinated convex and concave functions in two variables are obtained.

1. Introduction

Let be a convex function and with ; we have the following double inequality: This remarkable result is well known in the literature as the Hermite-Hadamard inequality for convex mapping.

Since then, some refinements of the Hermite-Hadamard inequality on convex functions have been extensively investigated by a number of authors (e.g., [14]).

A modification for convex functions which is also known as coordinated convex functions was introduced as follows by Dragomir in [5].

Let us consider the bidimensional interval in with and ; a mapping is said to be convex on if the inequality holds for all , , and .

A function is said to be coordinated convex on if the partial mappings , and , are convex for all and .

A formal definition for coordinated convex functions may be stated as follows.

Definition 1. A function is said to be convex on coordinates on if the inequality holds for all , , , , and .

Dragomir in [5] established the following Hadamard-type inequalities for coordinated convex functions in a rectangle from the plane .

Theorem 2. Suppose that is convex on the coordinates on . Then one has the inequalities as follows:

Some new integral inequalities that are related to the Hermite-Hadamard type for coordinated convex functions are also established by many authors.

In ([6], 2008), Alomari and Darus defined coordinated -convex functions and proved some inequalities based on this definition. In ([7], 2009), analogous results for -convex functions on the coordinates were proved by Latif and Alomari. In ([8], 2009), Alomari and Darus established some Hadamard-type inequalities for coordinated log-convex functions.

In ([9], 2012), Latif and Dragomir obtained some new Hadamard type inequalities for differentiable coordinated convex and concave functions in two variables which are related to the left-hand side of Hermite-Hadamard type inequality for coordinated convex functions in two variables based on the following lemma.

Theorem 6 (see [9]). Let be a partial differentiable mapping on in with and . If is convex on the coordinates on and , then the following equality holds: where is as given in Theorem 4.

In ([10], 2012), analogous results which are related to the right-hand side of Hermite-Hadamard type inequality for coordinated convex functions in two variables were proved by Sarıkaya et al. based on the following lemma.

In this paper, a generalized lemma is proved and several new inequalities for differentiable coordinated convex and concave functions in two variables are obtained.

2. Lemmas

To establish our results, we need the following lemma.

Lemma 13. Let be a partial differentiable mapping on in with and . If and , then the following equality holds: where
