In this paper, we offer Ostrowski-type inequalities that extend the findings that have been proven for functions of one variable with values in Banach spaces, conducted in a remarkable study by Dragomir, to functions of two variables containing values in the product Banach spaces. Our findings are also an extension of several previous findings that have been established for functions of two variable functions. Prior studies on Ostrowski-type inequalities incriminated functions that have values in Banach spaces or Hilbert spaces. This study is unique and significant in the field of mathematical inequalities, and specifically in the study of Ostrowski-type inequalities, because they have been established for functions having values in a product of two Banach spaces.
Inequalities involving integrals that set up bounds on the physical quantities are significant, since they are applied in a variety of disciplines, such as biology, engineering, and physics, in addition to approximation theory, operator theory, nonlinear analysis, numerical integration, stochastic analysis, information theory, and probability theory. Inequalities involving integrals that set up bounds on the physical quantities are significant, since they are applied in a variety of disciplines of biology, engineering, and physics in addition to approximation theory, operator theory, nonlinear analysis, numerical integration, stochastic analysis, information theory, and probability theory (see [1,2]).
In 1938, A. Ostrowski proved the following inequality concerning the distance between the integral mean and the value (please see [3,4]):
Theorem1.
Let be a continuous function on and differentiable on . If is bounded on , i.e., , then
Furthermore, over a given interval, the deviation of a function can be estimated through its mean value by the Ostrowski inequality, i.e., Ostrowski’s result gives us the bound of the values of a function from its mean value. This inequality has a great impact on different topics in mathematical analysis, including the estimation of error bounds in Banach spaces, numerical integration, and approximation theory. Many papers about generalizations of Ostrowski’s inequality have been written in the contemporary age; a few examples are mentioned in Anastassiou [4], who proved multivariate Ostrowski-type inequalities; Cheng gave some improvement to Ostrowski–Grüss-Type Inequalities in [5]; Irshad and Khan [6] obtained some quadrature rules for mappings on space via Ostrowski-type inequality; and Liu [7] proved some generalized Ostrowski-type inequalities to obtain improvements of the results from the previous studies. It has been shown that Ostrowski’s inequality is a useful tool for developing several mathematical science fields.
An improvement to the Ostrowski’s inequality was investigated by Dragomir in [8].
Theorem2.
Let be an absolutely continuous function on , whose derivative . Then,

In [10], Dragomir presented weighted Ostrowski-type inequalities for operators and vector-valued functions.
Theorem4
([10]).Assume that is Hölder continuous on , i.e.,

Anastassiou [3] also proved an Ostrowski-type inequality that we mention in the theorem below.
Theorem5
([3]).Let be a Banach space, and , with , then we obtain the following inequality:
where . Inequality (5) is sharp. In particular, the optimal function is , , and is a fixed unit vector in X.
The weighted version of Ostrowski’s inequality for two functions with values in Banach spaces was established by Dragomir in [11].

We also have the bounds

Functional analysis, an active research area in mathematical analysis, has immensely contributed to the advancement of contemporary mathematics, along with their applications. Central to this field, Banach spaces, discovered by Stefan Banach, a Polish mathematician, analyze numerous linear spaces together with their continuous transformations. Serving as the basis of many theories in analysis, Banach spaces can be described as complete normed vector spaces. In addition, various applications of Banach spaces, such as Tikhonov regularization, least square approximation, and inverse problems, exist not only in applied mathematics, but also in their related fields.
Suppose that X is a Banach space for . Let be the Banach algebra of linear operators acting on X. We denote the norms of those operators by .
A function is said to be measurable given that the sequence of simple functions converges everywhere on the interval at f.
It is known that a measurable function can only be Bochner integrable on the condition that the norm of this function is Lebesgue integrable on the interval .
One important area of interest emerging in the realm of Banach spaces is the theory of inequalities. This offers insights for understanding bounds, as well as approximating functional expressions. In Banach spaces, inequalities of Hermite–Hadamard, Ostrowski, and Lebesgue types play an important role in analysis. Banach space theory has been expanded to provide insights into complex mathematical issues.
In [12], Alomari establish generalization of weighted companion of Ostrowski integral inequality for mappings of bounded variation. In [10], Barnett et al. presented weighted Ostrowski-type inequalities for operators and vector-valued functions. Barnett and Dragomir [13] established a weighted version of Ostrowski’s inequality for two functions with values in Banach spaces.
This paper deals with the Ostrowski-type inequalities for functions with values in the product of two Banach spaces. Such types of Ostrowski-type inequalities have not been discussed in any previous studies, i.e., our results extend the results of Dragomir from [11] to functions of two variables which, in turn, generalize many of those results that have been proved so far for functions of two variables, for instance [13,14,15,16,17,18] and the references cited in them. Many researchers have, so far, considered Ostrowski-type inequalities for real valued functions of two variables, for functions of one variable with values in Banach spaces, or for functions with values Hilbert spaces. The results of this study are important and different than those studies, since they have been established for functions with values in the product of two Banach spaces. The results of our study have applications in several areas of mathematical sciences, particularly, in the area of functional analysis, which is a branch of mathematical analysis that studies vector spaces with a limit structure (such as a norm or inner product), and functions or operators defined on these spaces. Functional analysis also provides a useful framework and abstract approach for some applied problems in variety of disciplines.The study have limitations when we have sum of two or more functions with values in Banach spaces, since the distributive property does not hold for integrals in this case.
2. Main Results

3. Conclusive Remarks
In the past four decades, there has been significant growth in the field of mathematical inequalities, which includes a variety of new results with numerous applications in different fields of mathematical sciences. Many researchers have published a plethora of articles using innovative approaches and applications. Within the extensive literature on mathematical inequalities, Ostrowski and Ostrowski-type inequalities have profound importance. These inequalities are utilized to estimate the absolute deviation of the average value of a function from its integral mean over an interval of real line. Mathematicians have proven various generalizations and diverse forms of the Ostrowski-type inequalities, such as those for functions of bounded variation, Lipschitzian mappings, absolutely continuous functions, and those involving two functions, of which one has values in Banach spaces and the other function has values in the field of complex numbers. One of the remarkable studies on the generalizations of Ostrowski-type inequalities are highlighted in [11]. In the present study, we proved a more general results of the Ostrowski-type for functions of two variables with values in the direct product of Banach spaces having the norm topology , which generalizes the results from [11] to the functions of two variables, and extends the results from [10,12,13,15,16,17,18]. In order to obtain our results, we used the novel results from the theory of Banach spaces to provide various bounds of the average value of a function of two variables from its values at a specified point, in using the geometry of direct product of Banach spaces. We hope that the results of this study can be a good source to obtain more new results for the researchers working in the field of mathematical inequalities in the geometry of direct products of Banach spaces, and an inspiration to your researchers working to serve the mathematical community.
