Abstract: We show that the Hilger derivative on time scales is a special case of the Radon--Nikodym derivative with respect to the natural measure associated with every time scale. Moreover, we show that the concept of delta absolute continuity agrees with the one from measure theory in this context.


In this very interesting paper, the authors show (see Theorem 2.2) that the Hilger (or delta) derivative on time scales (introduced in [\textit{S. Hilger}, Result. Math. 18, No. 1-2, 18--56 (1990; Zbl 0722.39001)]) is a special case of the Radon--Nikodym derivative with respect to the natural measure associated with every time scale (by the graininess function). In Section 3, it is also established (see Theorem 3.3) a connection between the absolute continuity on time scales (introduced in [\textit{A. Cabada} and \textit{D. R. Vivero}, J. Difference Equ. Appl. 11, No. 11, 1013--1028 (2005; Zbl 1081.39011)]) and the absolute continuity in the usual measure theoretic sense (with respect to the natural measure associated with the time scale). The main theorem enables a generalization of some results in the theory of dynamic equations on time scales, see [\textit{J. Eckhardt} and \textit{G. Teschl}, ``Sturm--Liouville operators on time scales, J. Difference Equ. Appl. (to appear; \url{doi:10.1080/10236198.2011.600310})].
