The main purpose of the present paper is to establish some new sharp integral inequalities involving higher-order partial derivatives Our results in special cases yield some of the recent results on Agarwal, Wirtinger, Poincar´e, Pachpatte, Smith, and Stredulinsky’s inequalities and provide some new estimates on such types of inequalities.

1 Introduction
Inequalities involving functions of n independent variables, their partial derivatives, integrals
play a fundamental role in establishing the existence and uniqueness of initial and boundary value problems for ordinary and partial differential equations as well as difference equations
1 10 Especially, in view of wider applications, inequalities due to Agarwal, Opial, Pachpatte, Wirtinger, Poincar´e and et al have been generalized and sharpened from the very day of their discover As a matter of fact, these now have become research topic in their own right11–14
In the present paper, we will use the same method of Agarwal and Sheng15, establish some new estimates on these types of inequalities involving higher-order partial derivatives We further generalize these inequalities which lead to result sharper than those currently available
An important characteristic of our results is that the constant in the inequalities are explicit

On the other hand, taking for μ 2, λ 2 or μ 2, λ 4 in 2.31 and let ux, y reduce
to ux with suitable modifications, it follows the following Poincar´e-type inequalities:

The inequalities 2.44 have been discussed in 18 with the right-hand sides, respectively,
multiplied by 4/π and 16/3π Hence inequalities 2.44 are more strong results on these types
of inequalities
If μ ≥ λ, in the right sides of 2.31 we can apply H¨older inequality with indices μ/λ and
μ/μ − λ, to obtain the following corollary.

In19, Pachpatte proved the inequality 2.53 for μ k ≥ 2, 1 ≤ k ≤ r with K9replaced by
1/nrβ/2r k1 μ k /r , where β is as inRemark 2.8 It is clear that K9 < 1/nrβ/2r k1 μ k /r , and
hence2.53 is a better inequality than a result of Pachpatte
Similarly, all other results in15 also can be generalized by the same way Here, we omit the details
