Inspired by the aforementioned studies [
3,
4,
5,
6], in this article, we construct a new weighted generalized version of Hardy–Hilbert inequality involving two partial sums, which has a different configuration of weight coefficients compared with the above inequalities (3)–(6). At the end of the paper, we show that our main finding is a generalization of the above-mentioned results obtained by Adiyasuren et al. [
3]. Moreover, based on the obtained results, we are able to uncover the equivalent conditions of the best possible constant factor associated with several parameters. Also, we illustrate how the inequalities obtained in the main results can generate some new Hardy–Hilbert-type inequalities.
2. Preliminaries and Lemmas
In this section, we present several lemmas that are necessary to prove our main results. Below, we denote the set of conditions using (C1), which is repeated in subsequent sections.
In order to estimate the weight coefficients, we first introduce the following results related to Euler–Maclaurin summation formula.
Lemma 1. (see [4,5,7]) (i) If with , are the Bernoulli functions and the Bernoulli numbers of i-order. Then: In particular, for in view of , we have:for in view of , we have:(ii) If , then we have the following Euler–Maclaurin summation formula: Next, we establish the inequalities for weight coefficients by means of Lemma 1.
Lemma 2. For , we define the following weight coefficient:
Then, we have:
where
Proof. For fixed , we define a function using
.
It follows from the function
that
. Moreover, integration by parts yields the following:
Note that, for
, it holds that:
Hence, using (8)–(11), we acquire:
Note that
where
and
We find:

by
Thus, we deduce that for
,
and then it follows that
. We find that for
,
and
.
Hence, we have
. Now, setting

On the other hand, using (10), we have:
We obtain
, and
For , by (7), we find
and
Hence, we obtain:
and then we deduce:
We now set
satisfying
The two-side inequalities in (13) are derived. This proves Lemma 2. □
Next, we address an extended Hardy–Hilbert inequality, which is essential for proofing our main results in the next section.
Lemma 3. Under the assumption (C1), we have the following Hardy–Hilbert-type inequality: Proof. Based on the results found using Lemma 2, and by means of the principle of symmetry, for
, we can obtain the following inequalities for another weight coefficient:
where
.
By utilizing Hölder’s inequality [
8], we obtain:
Further, using (13) and (15) (for ), together with the assumption condition (C1), we derive the desired Inequality (14). Lemma 3 is proved. □
In the following, we prove two inequalities related to the partial sums in preparation for establishing a Hardy–Hilbert-type inequality involving partial sums.
Lemma 4. Under the assumption (C1), for , the following inequalities hold true: Proof. In view of
, applying Abel’s summation using a parts formula provides:
Set We conclude that and for is decreasing in .
By using the differential mean value theorem, we have
which leads to Inequality (16). In the same way as above, we can derive the inequality (17). Lemma 4 is proved. □
3. Main Results
Theorem 1. Under the assumption (C1), we have the following Hardy–Hilbert-type inequality involving two partial sums: In particular, for , we have:and the following inequality: Proof. By virtue of the expression
and using (16) and (17), it follows that
Furthermore, by virtue of Inequality (14), we deduce Inequality (18). This proves that Theorem 1 is complete. □
In the following theorems, we provide some equivalent statements of the best possible constant factor related to several parameters in (18).
Theorem 2. For if then the constant factorin (18) is the best possible. Proof. We first prove that the constant factor
in (19) is the best possible in the condition.
For any
, we set:

according to the result (2.2.24) described in [
7], we have:
Using the same method, for
we obtain:
are constants. We deduce that
.
If there is a constant
such that (19) is valid when we replace
by
, then from the particular substitution of
and
in (19), we have
For
we obtain:
and then
So, we have:
By virtue of (15) (for
), we still have:
From the above results, it follows that:
Setting
, by means of the continuity of the beta function, we find
i.e.,
Consequently,
is the best possible constant factor in (19), which implies that the constant factor in (18)
is the best possible. This proves Theorem 2. □
Theorem 3. If the constant factor in (18)is the best possible, then forwe have Proof. For , we observe that
and .
Now, for we have ; for we have .
Substitution of
in (19), we still have:
By applying Hölder’s inequality [
8], we deduce that:
If the constant factor
in (18) is the best possible, then, by comparison with the constant factors in (18) and (21), we have the following inequality:
it follows that:
Hence, with the aid of (22), we obtain:
and (22) takes the form of equality.
We observe that the equality holds in (22) if and only if there exist constants
and
, such that they are not both zero satisfying (see [
8]):

, that is
. Hence,
. The proof of Theorem 3 is complete. □
Remark 1. Putting in Inequality (19) with an application of the identity:we obtain Inequality (3). Hence, Inequalities (18) and (19) are generalizations of Inequality (3) obtained by Adiyasuren et al. in an earlier paper [3]. Remark 2. As a direct application of the main result in Theorem 1, we can derive more Hardy–Hilbert-type inequalities from special cases of the parameters.
