Abstract

This paper deals with a new Gronwall-like integral inequality which is a generalization of integral inequalities proved by Engler (1989) and Pachpatte (1992). The new Gronwall-like integral inequality can be used in various problems in the theory of certain class of ordinary and integral equations.
