Abstract
In this paper, we establish some new versions of Hermite–Hadamard type inequalities for co-ordinated convex functions via -integrals. Since the inequalities are newly proved, we therefore consider some examples of co-ordinated convex functions and show their validity for particular choices of . We hope that the readers show their interest in these results.

1. Introduction
Quantum calculus (sometimes is called q-calculus) is known as the study of calculus with no limits. Note that q-calculus can be reduced to ordinary calculus if we take . It was firstly studied by the famous mathematician Euler (1707–1783). In 1910, F. H. Jackson [] determined the definite q-integral known as the q-Jackson integral. Quantum calculus has many applications in several mathematical areas such as combinatorics, number theory, orthogonal polynomials, basic hypergeometric functions, mechanics, quantum theory, and theory of relativity, see, for instance, [,,,,,] and the references therein. The book by V. Kac and P. Cheung [] covers the fundamental knowledge and also the basic theoretical concepts of quantum calculus.
In 2013, J. Tariboon and S. K. Ntouyas [] defined the q-derivative and q-integral of a continuous function on finite intervals and proved some of its properties. Many well-known integral inequalities such as Hölder, Hermite–Hadamard, trapezoid, Ostrowski, Cauchy–Bunyakovsky–Schwarz, Grüss, and Grüss–Čebyšev inequalities have been studied in the concept of q-calculus, see [] for more details. Based on these results, there are many outcomes concerning q-calculus. For example, in [], some new Hermite–Hadamard type inequalities were established for co-ordinated convex functions and Simpson’s type inequalities for co-ordinated convex functions were established in []. In [], Kalsoom et al. used co-ordinated n-polynomial preinvexity and proved some Ostrowski type inequalities for quantum integrals. In [,], the authors used quantum integrals for the functions of two variables and proved some new Hermite–Hadamard type inequalities for co-ordinated convex functions.
In 2020, S. Bermudo et al. [] newly defined the q-derivative and q-integral of a continuous function on finite intervals, called -calculus, while the definition of J. Tariboon and S. K. Ntouyas is called -calculus. Moreover, in their paper, they proved Hermite–Hadamard inequalities for convex functions and h-convex functions by using such the new definition.
The Hermite–Hadamard inequality is a classical inequality stated as: If is a convex function, then
Inequality (1) was introduced by C. Hermite [] in 1883 and was investigated by J. Hadamard [] in 1893.
In [], Alp et al. proved the following quantum Hermite–Hadamard inequality for convex functions using the following quantum integrals:
Theorem 1.
If is a convex function, then we have
Bermudo et al. also proved the corresponding Hermite–Hadamard inequality for -integrals, as follows:
Theorem 2.
If is a convex function, then we have
Recently, Sitthiwirattham et al. proved some new quantum Hermite–Hadamard inequalities for convex functions by using their new techniques.
Theorem 3.
If is a convex function, then we have
Moreover, Ali et al. proved the following new version of quantum Hermite–Hadamard inequality involving a -integral and -integral. They also proved some inequalities for estimations of the left and right hand sides of this inequality.
Theorem 4.
If is a convex function, then we have
When is a co-ordinated convex function, S. Dragomir [] presented the Hermite–Hadamard type inequalities in 2001 as follows:
Theorem 5.
If is a co-ordinated convex function, then we have
Inspired by the ongoing studies, we prove some new versions of quantum Hermite–Hadamard inequalities for co-ordinated convex functions. We also show the validity of newly established inequalities with some examples for particular choices of .
The structure of this paper is as follows: The fundamentals of q-calculus for one and two variable functions, as well as other relevant topics in this field, are briefly discussed in Section 2. In Section 3, we establish new variants of the q-Hermite–Hadamard inequality for co-ordinated convex functions. We present some examples in Section 4 to illustrate the newly established inequalities. Section 5 concludes with some research suggestions for the future.
