1. Introduction
In 1982, Pečarić [
1] speculated on the Steffensen inequality, presenting the following two hypotheses.
Theorem 1. Let , , be integrable functions on such that is nonincreasing and is non-negative. Further, let . Then,where is the solution of the equation We obtain the reverse of (1) if is nondecreasing. Theorem 2. Let , , be integrable functions on such that is nonincreasing and is non-negative. Further, let . Then,where gives us the solution of We obtain the reverse of (2) if is nondecreasing. Wu and Srivastava in [
2] acquired the accompanying result.
Theorem 3. Let , , be integrable functions on such that is nonincreasing. Further, let . Then,where is given by The following interesting findings were published in [
3].
Theorem 4. Suppose the integrability of , , , such that is nonincreasing. Additionally, suppose that for all . Then,where is given by Theorem 5. Under the hypotheses of Theorem 4,where is given by The calculus of time scales with the intention to unify discrete and continuous analysis (see [
4]) was proposed by Hilger [
5]. For additional subtleties on time scales, we refer the reader to the book by Bohner and Peterson [
6]. Additionally, understanding of diamond-
calculus on time scales is assumed, and we refer the interested reader to [
7] for further details.
Recently, a massive range of dynamic inequalities on time scales have been investigated by using exclusive authors who have been inspired with the aid of a few applications (see [
8,
9,
10,
11,
12,
13,
14]). Some authors found different results regarding fractional calculus on time scales to provide associated dynamic inequalities (see [
15,
16,
17,
18]).
We devote the remaining part of this section to the diamond-
calculus on time scales, and we refer the interested reader to [
7] for further details.
If
is a time scale, and
is a function that is delta and nabla differentiable on
, then, for any
, the diamond-
dynamic derivative of

ı, denoted by
, is defined by
We conclude from the last relation that a function is diamond- differentiable if and only if it is both delta and nabla differentiable. For , the diamond- derivative boils down to a delta derivative, and for it boils down to a nabla derivative.
Assume , are diamond- differentiable functions at , and let . Then,

Let be a differentiable function on . Then, is increasing if , nondecreasing if , decreasing if , and nonincreasing if on .
In this article, we explore new generalizations of the integral Steffensen inequality given in [
1,
2,
3] via
integral on general time scale measure space. We also retrieve some of the integral inequalities known in the literature as special cases of our tests.
