Abstract The purpose of this paper is to generalize some integral inequalities in two independent variables with delay which can be used as handy tools in the study of certain partial differential equations and integral equations with delay. An application is given to illustrate the usefulness of our results. Keywords: retarded integral inequalities; two independent variables; differential and integral equations with time delay; nondecreasing functions
1 Introduction The integral inequalities which provide explicit bounds on unknown functions play an important role in the development of the theory of differential and integral equations. The Gronwall-Bellman inequality and its various linear and nonlinear generalizations are crucial in the discussion of the existence, uniqueness, continuation, boundedness, oscillation and stability, and other qualitative properties of solutions of differential and integral equations. The literature on such inequalities and their applications is vast; see [–] and the references given therein. In [] Ferreira and Torres, have discussed the following useful nonlinear retarded integral inequality: φ u(t) ≤ c(t) +
α(t)
f (t, s)η u(s) ω u(s) + g(t, s)η u(s) ds.
Motivated by the results obtained in [, ] and [] we establish a general two independent variables retarded version which can be used as a tool to study the boundedness of solutions of differential and integral equations.

As an application of Corollary .(B ) to (.) with u(x, y) = |z(x, y)| we obtain the desired inequality (.). Corollary . If z(x, y) satisfies the equation
