We derive whole series of new integral inequalities of the Hardy-type, with non-conjugate exponents. First, we prove and discuss two equivalent general inequa-li-ties of such type, as well as their corresponding reverse inequalities. General results are then applied to special Hardy-type kernel and power weights. Also, some estimates of weight functions and constant factors are obtained. ...
