1. Introduction
In 1908, H. Weyl published the following Hilbert inequality: If{an},{bn}are real sequences,0<P∞
n=1a2n<∞and0<P∞
n=1b2n<∞,then [1]
(1.1)

where the constant factor π is the best possible. In 1925, G. H. Hardy gave an extension of (1.1) by introducing one pair of conjugate exponents(p, q) (1p +1q = 1) as [2]: Ifp > 1, an, bn ≥0,0<P∞

where the constant factor π/sin(πp) is the best possible. We refer to (1.2) as the Hardy-Hilbert inequality. In 1934, Hardy et al. [3] gave some applications of (1.1) and (1.2). By introducing a pair of non-conjugate exponents(p, q)in (1.1), Hardy et al. [3] gave: Ifp, q >1,1p +1q ≥1,0< λ= 2−(1p +1q)≤1,then

where the constant factorK(p, q)is the best value only forλ = 1. In 1951, Bonsall [4] considered (1.3) in the case of a general kernel. In 1991, Mitrinovi´c et al. [5]
summarized the above method and results.

In 1997-1998, by using weight coefficients, Yang and Gao [6], [7] gave a strength- ened version of (1.2) as:

)1q , where, 1−γ = 0.42278433+ (γ is the Euler constant). In 2001, Yang [8] gave an extension of (1.1) by introducing an independent parameter0< λ≤4as

where the constant factorB(λ2,λ2)is the best possible (B(u, v)is the Beta function).
In 2004, Yang [9] published the dual form of (1.2) as follows (1.6)

Forp=q= 2,both (1.6) and (1.2) reduce to (1.1). It means that there are two differ- ent best extensions of (1.1). To generalize (1.2) and (1.6), in 2005, Yang [10] gave an extension of (1.2) and (1.6) with two pairs of conjugate exponents(p, q),(r, s)(p, r >
1)and parametersα, λ > 0 (αλ≤min{r, s})as: If0<P∞

, where the constant factor kαλ(r) = α1B(λr,λs) is the best possible. T. K. Pogány [11] also considered a best extension of (1.2) with the non-homogeneous kernel as
1
(λm+ρn)µ (µ, λm, ρn>0).
We have a non-negative decomposition of kernel in (1.1):
1
m+n = max{m, n}
(m+n)2 + min{m, n}
(m+n)2 (m, n∈N)
(Nis the set of positive integer numbers). In this paper, by using the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula and the weight coefficient as in [8], we give a pair of new Hilbert-type inequalities as

2. Some Lemmas

Proof. For fixed 12 ≤ α <1, m ∈N, settingf(x) := (m+x)max{m,x}2xα, x∈(0,∞),then by (2.1), it follows that

then it followsP∞

Then by (3.5), we have k ≥ π2 + 1 (ε → 0+).Hence k = π2 + 1 is the best value of (3.1). We confirm that the constant factor in (3.2) is the best, otherwise we would obtain a contradiction by (3.4) that the constant factor in (3.1) is not the best possible.
The theorem is proved.

In the same manner, by Lemma2.3, we have:
