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

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.
