Double Integral Calculus Of Variations On Time Scales, Gusein Sh. Guseinov, Martin Bohner Jul 2007

Double Integral Calculus Of Variations On Time Scales, Gusein Sh. Guseinov, Martin Bohner

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We consider a version of the double integral calculus of variations on time scales, which includes as special cases the classical two-variable calculus of variations and the discrete two-variable calculus of variations. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a local extremum are established, among them an analogue of the Euler-Lagrange equation.


The Convolution On Time Scales, Gusein Sh. Guseinov, Martin Bohner Jan 2007

The Convolution On Time Scales, Gusein Sh. Guseinov, Martin Bohner

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The main theme in this paper is an initial value problem containing a dynamic version of the transport equation. via this problem, the delay (or shift) of a function defined on a time scale is introduced, and the delay in turn is used to introduce the convolution of two functions defined on the time scale. In this paper, we give some elementary properties of the delay and of the convolution and we also prove the convolution theorem. Our investigation contains a study of the initial value problem under consideration as well as some results about power series on time scales. …
