Special Issue on: "Dynamic Equations on Time Scales and Applications"

Guest Editors: Lynn Erbe and Allan Peterson, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA

This special issue aims to summarize and disseminate the recent progress in the rapidly developing field of dynamic equations on time scales. Particular attention will be focused on the existence of positive solutions, oscillation and nonoscillation, and boundary value problems for dynamic equations, difference equations, $q$-difference equations, and for general time scales, with an emphasis on applications.

   Subject Coverage

Suitable topics include but are not limited to:

• Existence and nonexistence of multiple positive solutions to boundary value problems
• Oscillation and nonoscillation of linear and nonlinear dynamic equations
• Applications of fractional calculus to boundary value problems
• Transform methods
• Qualitative behaviour of solutions to linear and nonlinear systems

   Notes for Prospective Authors

Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. (N.B. Conference papers may only be submitted if the paper was not originally copyrighted and if it has been completely re-written).

All papers are refereed through a peer review process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the Author Guidelines page
