Abstract:

In this paper, we consider the system of boundary value problems for higher-dimensional dynamic equations on time scales. We establish criteria for the existence of at least one or two positive solutions. We shall also obtain criteria which lead to nonexistence of positive solutions. Examples applying our results are also given.

Abstract:

Using Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem, we establish the existence of positive periodic solutions to two pairs of related nonautonomous functional delta dynamic equations on periodic time scales, and then extend the discussion to higher-dimensional equations. Two pairs of corresponding nabla equations are also provided in an analogous manner.

Abstract:

Some new oscillation criteria for second-order linear delay dynamic equation on a time scale T are established. Our results improve the recent results for delay dynamic equations and in the special case when T=R, the results include the oscillation results established by Hille [1948, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 64 (1948), 234-252] and Erbe [Canad. Math. Bull. 16 (1973), 49-56.] for differential equations. When T=Z the results include and improve some oscillation criteria for difference equations. When T=hZ, h>0, T=q^N and T=N², i.e., for generalized second order delay difference equations our results are essentially new and can be applied on different types of time scales. An example is considered to illustrate the main results.

Abstract:

Some oscillation and boundedness criteria for solutions to certain first and second order forced dynamic equations with mixed nonlinearities are established. The main tool in the proofs is an inequality due to Hardy, Littlewood and Pólya. The obtained results can be applied to differential equations, difference equations and q-difference equations. The results are illustrated with numerous examples.
