Periodic solutions for dynamic equations on time scales.
(English)
[J] Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 67, No. 5, A, 1457-1463 (2007). ISSN 0362-546X

The paper is concerned with the existence of periodic solutions for linear and nonlinear dynamic equations on a time scale of the form $$x^{\Delta}(t)=a(t)x(t)+h(t)\tag1$$ and $$x^{\Delta}(t)=f(t,x).\tag2$$ For the $\omega$-periodic linear equation, the analogue of the celebrated Massera's theorem is proved stating that (1) has an $\omega$-periodic solution if and only if it has a bounded solution. For the $\omega$-periodic nonlinear dynamic equation, it is demonstrated that equi-boundedness and ultimate boundedness of solutions of (2) imply existence of an $\omega$-periodic solution. In the final part of the paper, a criterion for the ultimate boundedness of solutions of (2) in terms of Lyapunov functions is established.
