Abstract

In this study, we prove Lyapunov-type inequalities for certain nonlinear systems on an arbitrary time scale T by using elementary time scale calculus. These inequalities enable us to obtain a criterion of disconjugacy for such systems. Special cases of our results contain the classical Lyapunov inequality for both differential and difference equations.

In this study, we prove Lyapunov-type inequalities for certain nonlinear systems on an arbitrary time scale T by using elementary time scale calculus. These inequalities enable us to obtain a criterion of disconjugacy for such systems. Special cases of our results contain the classical Lyapunov inequality for both differential and difference equations.
