Isoperimetric problems on time scales with nabla derivatives

چکیده
We prove a necessary optimality condition for isoperimetric problems under nabla-differentiable curves. As a consequence, the recent results of [M.R. Caputo, A unified view of ostensibly disparate isoperimetric variational problems, Appl. Math. Lett. (2008), doi:10.1016/j.aml.2008.04.004], that put together seemingly dissimilar optimal control problems in economics and physics, are extended to a generic time scale. We end with an illustrative example of application of our main result to a dynamic optimization problem from economics.

Isoperimetric Problems of the Calculus of Variations on Time Scales
We prove a necessary optimality condition for isoperimetric problems on time scales in the space of delta-differentiable functions with rdcontinuous derivatives. The results are then applied to Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems on time scales.
متن کاملDiamond-alpha Polynomial Series on Time Scales
The objective of this paper is twofold: (i) to survey existing results of generalized polynomials on time scales, covering definitions and properties for both delta and nabla derivatives; (ii) to extend previous results by using the more general notion of diamond-alpha derivative on time scales. We introduce a new notion of combined-polynomial series on a time scale, as a convex linear combinat...
متن کاملDiamond-α Jensen’s Inequality on Time Scales
The theory and applications of dynamic derivatives on time scales have recently received considerable attention. The primary purpose of this paper is to give basic properties of diamond-α derivatives which are a linear combination of delta and nabla dynamic derivatives on time scales. We prove a generalized version of Jensen’s inequality on time scales via the diamond-α integral and present som...
متن کاملHermite-Hadamard Inequality on Time Scales
Recently, new developments of the theory and applications of dynamic derivatives on time scales were made. The study provides an unification and an extension of traditional differential and difference equations and, in the same time, it is a unification of the discrete theory with the continuous theory, from the scientific point of view. Moreover, it is a crucial tool in many computational and ...
متن کاملThe Variational Calculus on Time Scales
Abstract. The discrete, the quantum, and the continuous calculus of variations, have been recently unified and extended by using the theory of time scales. Such unification and extension is, however, not unique, and two approaches are followed in the literature: one dealing with minimization of delta integrals; the other dealing with minimization of nabla integrals. Here we review a more genera...
