(1)
and the following more accurate Hardy-Hilbert’s inequality with the same best possible constant factor
(cf. Hardy et al., 1934, Theorem 315, 323):
(2)
We still have the following Hilbert-type inequality with the best possible constant factor
(cf. Hardy et al., 1934, Theorem 342):
(3)
Inequalities (1), (2) and (3) are important in Analysis and its applications (cf. Hardy et al., 1934; Mitrinović et al., 1991; Yang, 2011).
Assuming that

For

In 2015, by using the transfer formula, Yang (2015) gave the following multidimensional Hilbert’s inequality: For

With regards to the above assumptions, we still have the following multidimensional Hilbert-type inequality (cf. Yang, 2014):

is the best possible. For
, inequality (5) ((6)) reduces to (1) ((3)). Some other results on this type of inequalities and multiple inequalities were provided by Hong (2005), Krnić et al. (2008), Krnić and Vuković (2012), Rassias and Yang (2014), Shi and Yang (2015), Hong (2006, 2010), Perić and Vuković (2011), He (2015), Adiyasuren et al. (2016).
Recently, by using the weight coefficients, Huang (2015) gave an extension of (3) as follows: For
,
(7)
where, the constant factor
is the best possible (the series in the right-hand side of (7) are positive values). Another results on Hardy-Hilbert-type inequalities and Hilbert-type inequalities were given by Yang (2015), Shi and Yang (2015), Huang (2015), Wang et al. (2015), Yang and Chen (2016), Brnetić and Pečarić (2004), Krnić and Pečarić (2005), Krnic et al. (2005), Li et al. (2007), Laith (2008), Agarwal et al. (2015).
In this paper, by means of the weight coefficients, the transfer formula, Hermite-Hadamard’s inequality and the technique of analysis, a more accurate multidimensional Hardy-Hilbert-type inequality with a best possible constant factor is given, which is an extension of (6) and (7). Meanwhile, the equivalent forms and the operator expressions are considered.
