Almost Oscillatory Three Dimensional Dynamic Systems, Elvan Akin, Zuzana Dosla, Bonita Lawrence Feb 2019

Almost Oscillatory Three Dimensional Dynamic Systems, Elvan Akin, Zuzana Dosla, Bonita Lawrence

Bonita Lawrence

In this article, we investigate oscillation and asymptotic properties for 3D systems of dynamic equations. We show the role of nonlinearities and we apply our results to the adjoint dynamic systems.


Higher Order Dynamic Equations On Measure Chains: Wronskians, Disconjugacy, And Interpolating Families Of Functions, Martin Bohner, Paul Eloe Mar 2015

Higher Order Dynamic Equations On Measure Chains: Wronskians, Disconjugacy, And Interpolating Families Of Functions, Martin Bohner, Paul Eloe

Paul W. Eloe

This paper introduces generalized zeros and hence disconjugacy of nth order linear dynamic equations, which cover simultaneously as special cases (among others) both differential equations and difference equations. We also define Markov, Fekete, and Descartes interpolating systems of functions. The main result of this paper states that disconjugacy is equivalent to the existence of any of the above interpolating systems of solutions and that it is also equivalent to a certain factorization representation of the operator. The results in this paper unify the corresponding theories of disconjugacy for nth order linear ordinary differential equations and for nth order linear difference …


Boundedness In Functional Dynamic Equations On Time Scales, Elvan Akin, Youssef N. Raffoul Feb 2015

Boundedness In Functional Dynamic Equations On Time Scales, Elvan Akin, Youssef N. Raffoul

Youssef N. Raffoul

Using nonnegative definite Lyapunov functionals, we prove general theorems for the boundedness of all solutions of a functional dynamic equation on time scales. We apply our obtained results to linear and nonlinear Volterra integro-dynamic equations on time scales by displaying suitable Lyapunov functionals.


Exponential Stability In Functional Dynamic Equations On Time Scales, Elvan Akin, Youssef Raffoul, Christopher Tisdell Feb 2015

Exponential Stability In Functional Dynamic Equations On Time Scales, Elvan Akin, Youssef Raffoul, Christopher Tisdell

Youssef N. Raffoul

We are interested in the exponential stability of the zero solution of a functional dynamic equation on a time scale, a nonempty closed subset of real numbers. The approach is based on suitable Lyapunov functionals and certain inequalities. We apply our results to obtain exponential stability in Volterra integrodynamic equations on time scales.
