1. Introduction
Modeling some global issues requires utilizing a powerful framework that incorporates both discrete and continuous times. This is normal to look at whether it is possible to present a structure that grants us to include both dynamical systems concurrently so that you can probably acquire some perception and adequate knowledge of the elusive variations between discrete and continuous domains. To answer this, an approach was designed by Hilger [
1]. The precept goal of dynamic theory on time scales is that it constructs channels between continuous and discrete cases. Afterward, this concept has been built by many researchers, see References [
2,
3]. It is as dated as classical calculus but it acquires more importance in recent decades, this is due to its applications in various fields such as physics, biology, fluid dynamics, control theory, image processing, signal processing and computer networking. Researchers connected with pure mathematics have implemented time scales calculus in mathematical inequalities to unify discrete and continuous versions of inequalities. In recent years, research has proceeded to unify and amplify integral inequalities through innovative ideas and approaches of time scales [
4,
5]. These integral inequalities are utilized in numerous areas for the boundedness, uniqueness, and so forth, of the solutions to integrodifferential equations [
6,
7].
Integral inequalities on time scale have also been a topic of debate for a long while. Due to their potentials to be expanded, several variants have been established by many authors, see References [
4,
5,
8,
9,
10,
11,
12,
13]. Bohner et al. [
6] and Donchev et al. [
7] figured various dynamic inequalities that essentially depend on integral inequalities. These sorts of variants are known as Hermite-Hadamard, Ostrowski, Grüss, Hardy and weighted-Ostrowski type variants in the literature. Moreover, researchers [
4,
5] clarified numerous variants on time scales, which bound together and expanded variants illustrated by Bohner. To demonstrate the theoretical outcomes, it has been validated that the received variants can be utilized as significant apparatuses in the investigation of specific features of dynamic systems on time scales. Tahir et al. [
11] proposed some variants of Hermite-Hadamard type, consolidating two integral terms, which are themselves the speculations and modifications of several present outcomes on an arbitrary time scale. These acquired outcomes assumed a crucial job in analyzing some classes of integral and integrodifferential equations. In addition, this methodology has fertile utilities in establishing the explicit estimates of certain classes of dynamical frameworks on time scales.
The convexity principle is a powerful and effective approach for studying a massive magnificence of problems that arises in diverse fields of pure and applied sciences. Many new forms had been introduced and investigated of convex sets and convex functions. Several researchers have been derived new variants associated with convex functions, see, for example, References [
4,

23] and the references therein. Moreover, it is splendid that convexity offers to proliferate ideas and fertile applications in every branch of pure and applied mathematics. Hermite-Hadamard [
24,
25] proved an inequality involving integral of function and it is known that
is a convex function, if and only if it satisfies the inequality
for all
with
, the double inequality referred to as the Hermite-Hadamard inequality for convex function and the constant
is sharp, in the sense that
cannot be replaced by a similar constant.
Since the publications of the above result in 1883, numerous papers with new evidence, different generalizations and developments have shown up in the literature, see References [
26,
27,
28,
29,
30,
31]. Recently, time scale versions of several inequalities such as Hermite-Hadamard inequality, Ostrowski inequality and Hardy-type inequalities are investigated by [
3,
4,
7,
11].
This article presents several dynamical variants that are essentially based on Hermite-Hadamard inequality. Many of these variants are called the Hermite-Hadamard type. In the present assertion, Hermite-Hadamard inequalities for two non-negative auxiliary functions and , which we attended on are quite exclusive from the existing ones. Finally, from an application perspective, the results are relevant to research for special means. Some unique instances also are mentioned which can be deduced from our consequences.
2. Preliminaries
A non-empty closed subset of is known as the time scale. The set of real numbers and the integers are two well-known examples of time scales theory. In this sequel, we will mention , a time scale and , is a time-scaled interval. we want the idea of jump operators.
The symbol ◊ denotes the forward jump operator and
is the backward jump operator are said through the formulas:
The term r is refer to be right-scattered if and , then is refer to be left-scattered. The factors which are probably simultaneously proper-scattered and left-scattered are known as isolated. If then r is said to be right dense, and if, then is said to be left dense. Moreover, the points are said to be dense if they are simultaneously right-dense and left-dense.
The mappings
defined by
are called the forward and backward graininess functions, respectively.
Definition 1. Let be a real-valued function. Then η is said to be -continuous on if its left limit at any left dense point of is finite and it is continuous on every right dense point of All -continuous functions are denoted by .
Definition 2. A function is called a delta antiderivative of if for all . Then, one defines the delta integral by .

The following example exhibits some practice related to the real world on time scale analysis.

By experiments, we recognize that grows exponentially consistent with during the months of May to August. At the beginning of September, all vegetation abruptly dies; however, the seeds remain in the ground and begin growing again at the start of May with now being doubled. We model this case using the time scalewhere is 1
