Extremal solutions for nonresonance impulsive functional dynamic equations on time scales (Q2474894)

During the last decades several approaches have been developed, allowing a unified description of ordinary differential and difference equations. Among them are dynamic equations on time scales -- introduced by \textit{S.~Hilger} [Result. Math. 18, No. 1/2, 18--56 (1990; Zbl 0722.39001)] and nicely presented in the monograph by \textit{M.~Bohner} and \textit{A. Peterson} [Dynamic equations on time scales. An introduction with applications. Basel: Birkhäuser (2001; Zbl 0978.39001)], as well as impulsive differential equations [cf., e.g., the monograph of \textit{A. M.~Samoilenko} and \textit{N. A.~Perestyuk} [Impulsive differential equations. Singapore: World Scientific (1995; Zbl 0837.34003)]. The short paper at hand combines these two approaches, and extends them by considering scalar impulsive functional dynamic equations on time scales with a periodicity condition. In such a general framework the existence of extremal solutions is established using a fixed-point theorem due to Heikkila and Lakshmikantham. Here, the nonlinearities are assumed to be majorized by \(L^1\)-maps in time (uniformly on bounded sets in space) and to satisfy \(L^1\)-Chandrabhan conditions.
