1. Introduction
The following inequality is well-known in the literature
as Simpson.s inequality:
Theorem 1. Let [ ] : , f ab → be a four times
continuously differentiable mapping on [ ] , ab and

For recent results on Simpson.s type inequalities see the
papers [11-19].
Convexity on the co-ordinates can be given as
following (see [10]);
Let us consider the bidimensional interval
[ ] [ ] , , ab cd ∆= × in

with a b < and . c d < A
function : f ∆→ will be called convex on the co-
ordinates if the partial mappings [ ] : ,

y
f u f uy = and [ ] ( ) : , ,

are convex where defined for all [ ] , y cd ∈ and [ ] , . x ab ∈
Recall that the mapping : f ∆→ is convex on ∆ , if
the following inequality;

In [10], Dragomir proved the following inequalities:
Theorem 2. Suppose that [ ] [ ] : , , f ab cd ∆= × → is
convex on the co-ordinates on . ∆ Then one has the
inequalities;

The above inequalities are sharp.
Recently, several papers have been written on the
convex functions on the co-ordinates. Similar results can
be found in [1-9] and [20,21,22,23].
In this paper, we will give Simpson-type inequalities
for convex functions on the co-ordinates and bounded
functions on the basis of the following lemma.
2. Main Results
