We introduce the diamond-alpha exponential function on time scales. As particular cases, one gets both delta and nabla exponential functions. A method of solution of a homogenous linear dynamic diamond-alpha equation on a regular time scale…
Assuming that a "derivative" ratio rho:=f'/g' of the ratio r:=f/g of differentiable functions f and g is monotonic (that is, rho is increasing or decreasing), it was shown in previous papers that then r can switch at most once, from…
The theory of the calculus of variations was recently extended to the more general time scales setting, both for delta and nabla integrals. The primary purpose of this paper is to further extend the theory on time scales, by establishing…
Let $-\infty \leq a<b\leq \infty $. Let $f$ and $g$ be differentiable functions on $(a,b)$ and let $g^{\prime }\neq 0$ on $(a,b)$. By introducing an auxiliary function $H_{f,g}:=\left( f^{\prime }/g^{\prime }\right) g-f$, we easily prove…
We point out the connection of the so-called H\^opital-style rules for monotonicity and oscillation to some well-known properties of concave/convex functions. From this standpoint, we are able to generalize the rules under no…
We develop the calculus of variations on time scales for a functional that is the composition of a certain scalar function with the delta and nabla integrals of a vector valued field. Euler-Lagrange equations, transversality conditions, and…
By employing a new class of pseudo-differential operators introduced in a previous work, we establish a novel monotonicity formula for the fractional Laplacian $|\nabla_x|^\alpha$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, with $n \geq 2$ and $\alpha \in [1,2)$,…
We consider a general problem of the calculus of variations on time scales with a cost functional that is the composition of a certain scalar function with delta and nabla integrals of a vector valued field. Euler-Lagrange delta-nabla…
Recently, some authors have proved monotonicity results for delta and nabla fractional differences separately. In this article, we use dual identities relating delta and nabla fractional difference operators to prove shortly the…
We formulate a coherent approach to signals and systems theory on time scales. The two derivatives from the time-scale calculus are used, i.e., nabla (forward) and delta (backward), and the corresponding eigenfunctions, the so-called nabla…
We prove a necessary optimality condition of Euler-Lagrange type for variational problems on time scales involving nabla derivatives of higher-order. The proof is done using a new and more general fundamental lemma of the calculus of…
We first introduce the generic versions of the fraction rules for monotonicity, i.e. the one that involves integrals known as the Gromov theorem and the other that involves derivatives known as L'H\^opital rule for monotonicity, which we…
In this article we prove that if the $q-$fractional operator $(~_{q}\nabla_{qa}^\alpha y)(t)$ of order $0<\alpha\leq 1$ , $0<q<1$ and starting at some $qa \in T_q=\{q^k: k \in \mathbb{Z}\}\cup \{0\},~~a>0$ is positive such that $y(a) \geq…
We study diamond-alpha integrals on time scales. A diamond-alpha version of Fermat's theorem for stationary points is also proved, as well as Rolle's, Lagrange's, and Cauchy's mean value theorems on time scales.
Assuming that a "derivative" ratio rho:=f'/g' of the ratio r:=f/g of differentiable functions f and g is strictly monotonic (that is, rho is increasing or decreasing), it was shown in previous papers that then r can switch at most once,…
In this paper, we introduce the nabla fractional derivative and fractional integral on time scales in the Riemann-Liouville sense. We also introduce the nabla fractional derivative in Gr\"unwald-Letnikov sense. Some of the basic properties…
