Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the concept of n-dimensional Diamond-Alpha integral on time scales. In particular, it transforms into multiple Delta, Nabla and mixed integrals by taking different values of alpha. Some of its properties are explored, and the relationship between it and the multiple mixed integral is provided. As an application, we establish some weighted Ostrowski type inequalities through the new integral. These new inequalities expand some known inequalities in the monographs and papers, and in addition, furnish some other interesting inequalities. Examples of Ostrowski type inequalities are posed in detail at the end of the paper.

1. Introduction
Since Hilger [1] initiated the theory of time scales in 1988, it has been used widely by many branches of sciences. Moreover, many studies of the topic of time scales have been published, such as [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15].
In [2], Bohner and Georgiev defined the following multiple Delta integral by using Riemann’s definition of the integral,
Moreover, Bohner and Georgiev pointed out that multiple Nabla integral
and mixed integrals that contain part of “” and part of “∇” can be defined in the same way.
As a linear combination of and ∇ dynamic derivatives, researchers introduced the Diamond-Alpha differentiation on time scales. More details about dynamic derivatives can be found in [16,17,18,19].
In [20], Tian, Zhu, and Cheung proposed the definition of multiple Diamond-Alpha integral
by employing antiderivatives of single-variable functions.
In this paper we will consider the Diamond-Alpha integral of different alpha values, which is a more general form of (3), namely,
we call it multiple Diamond- integral for convenience.
Ostrowski type inequality on time scales has received a lot attention [9,21,22,23,24]. In particular, the authors provided several Diamond-Alpha weighted Ostrowski type inequalities [21] as follows.
Theorem 1.
If ω is a positive and continuous function, are bounded and satisfy
then the following inequalities
and
hold for all .
Theorem 2.
If ω is a positive and continuous function, are bounded and satisfy
then the following inequalities
and
hold for all .
The structure of the rest of this paper is as follows: we provide some preliminaries in Section 2 and consider the definition of multiple Diamond- integral and its properties in Section 3. In Section 4, we generalize Theorems 1 and 2 to the inequalities involving m functions; the inequalities involving m functions and n variables are given. Some examples and conclusions are presented in Section 5 and Section 6, respectively.
2. Preliminaries
In this section, we list some common definitions and properties related to time scales; they can be found in [2].
Time scales are an arbitrary nonempty closed subset of the real number including set of real numbers , positive integer numbers , and denoted as . For more comprehensive knowledge about time scales, readers can consult [2,4,6,8,11,18,25,26,27,28]. In what follows, bespeak and we default for all always.
Definition 1.
For , forward and backward jump operator are defined by
respectively.
Clearly, we have .
Definition 2.
If and for all given there exists a neighborhood U and of h such that
and
for all , then ϕ is respectively called Delta and Nabla differentiable on and , where , is defined as follows:
Definition 3.
Let: . If holds for any . Then Φ is called a Δ-antiderivative of ϕ. Moreover
If for any satisfies . Then Φ is called a ∇-antiderivative of ϕ. Moreover
Obviously, Delta, Nabla derivatives and integrals satisfy linearity.
Diamond-alpha derivative and integral are respectively defined as linear combination of , ∇ dynamic derivatives and integrals.

3. Definition and Simple Properties
For more comprehensive knowledge about time scales, readers can consult [2,4,6,8,11,18,25,26,27,28].
Basically consistent with the definition process from [20], we suppose and . In what follows, bespeak and by default we always have for all . Every .
We denote as diamond- integral with respect to . If there exist functions defined on D such that
for all , where we write as , then we define the multiple Diamond- integral as follows
where is defined by recursive formula, and for all
Next we give an example to show the new integral.
Example 1.
If , and . Then
Proof.
According to the definition of Diamond-Alpha integral, for all , we have
Using the above conclusion repeatedly, it leads to the desired equality.
□
In particular, if we choose , then (4) changes into
If we let every to be equal to 0 or 1, then (4) changes into (1) or (2). If , then (4) becomes (3). This shows (4) is a generalization of (1), (2) and (3).
Another powerful consequence of (4) is that it can represent multiple mixed integrals effectively. If every or 1, then the multiple mixed integral can be written as
For example, the following multiple mixed integral
can be changed into
For convenience, we define functions as follows,
The next theorem provides the link between multiple Diamond- integral and multiple mixed integrals. It shows that the multiple Diamond- integral is also a linear combination of multiple mixed integrals, similar to the Diamond- integral of one variable.
Theorem 3.
If is Diamond- integrable on D, then
where or 1 means all non-repetitive possibilities in binary and are defined by (9), that means there are total items in the right-hand side.
Proof.
According to the definition of Diamond- integral, we have
□
From the notations above, in [2], the following properties are introduced. These propositions show that multiple mixed integrals satisfy linearity and isotonicity.
Proposition 2
([2], Theorem 7.50). Suppose is bounded, Delta and Nabla integrable on D, then the following formula holds
where or 1.
Proposition 3
(See [2], Theorem 7.49). Suppose that the bounded function ϕ is Delta and Nabla integrable on D, then for all
where or 1.

where or 1.
Proposition 4
([2], Theorem 7.52). Suppose is bounded Delta and Nabla integrable on D, and holds on for all points in D, then
where or 1.
Remark 1.
In fact, [2] just narrated the properties of multiple Delta integrals. However, since in the end of Chapter 7, the authors mentioned that multiple Nabla integrals and multiple mixed integrals should have the same properties, we give the general forms of the theorems in [2].
Next, we explore properties of (4) based on the Properties 2–4 and Theorem 3. We find that our new integrals also satisfy linearity and isotonicity.
Proposition 5.
Suppose is bounded Diamond- integrable on D, then we have
Proof.
According to Proposition 2 and Theorem 3, we obtain
Therefore, the proof is complete. □
Proposition 6.
If is bounded Diamond- integrable on D and , then
The proof of Proposition 6 is similar to the proof of Proposition 5, we will not repeat it.
Corollary 2.

holds for all points in D, then
In particular, if , then we have the following corollary.
Corollary 3.
If ϕ is bounded Diamond- integrable on D, and holds for all points in D, then
4. Ostroski Type Inequalities on Multiple Diamond- Integrals
In this section, we establish some Ostrowski type inequalities through multiple Diamond- integral. Specifically, we consider Ostrowski type inequalities with more functions and more variables. Theorem 1 just considered three functions, in fact, we found it is also holds for the case with m functions. Thus, we have the following theorem.
Theorem 4.

namely,
Diamond-Alpha integrating on both side from a to b with respect to y and rewriting, we get
Then we can get the desired inequality (12) by
From Inequality (14), we also have
Diamond-Alpha integrating with respect to x, the inequality leads to
which is the desired Inequality (13). Therefore, we complete the proof. □
If we take , then the inequalities in Theorem 4 change into
and
In the same way, the inequalities in Theorem 2 are hold for the case with more functions. The theorem shows there is a upper bound of and the upper bound is depend on and .
Theorem 5.
If λ is a positive and continuous function, are bounded, nonzero and satisfy
then the following inequality
holds for all .
Proof.
Clearly, we have
Multiplying from to m, we obtain
namely,
If we chose , then Inequality (15) transforms to
Next we consider the inequalities involving m functions and n variables based on the multiple Diamond- integral in Section 2. We denote .
Theorem 6.

In fact, there are many interesting inequalities that can be derived from Theorems 4–6 and the following three examples provide only a few special cases.
