We present several Gronwall-OuIang-type integral inequalities on time scales Firstly, an OuIang inequality on time scales is discussed Then we extend the Gronwall-type inequalities to multiple integrals Some special cases of our results contain continuous Gronwall-type inequalities and their discrete analogues Several examples are included to illustrate our results at the end
1 Introduction
OuIang inequalities and their generalizations have proved to be useful tools in oscillation theory, boundedness theory, stability theory, and other applications of differential and difference equations A nice introduction to continuous and discrete OuIang inequalities can
be found in1,2, and studies in 3 5 give some of their generalizations to multiple integrals and higher-dimensional spaces Like Gronwall’s inequality, OuIang’s inequality is also used
to obtain a priori bounds on unknown functions Therefore, integral inequalities of this type
The calculus on time scales has been introduced by Hilger7 in order to unify discrete
In this paper, we are concerned with Gronwall-OuIang-type integral inequalities on time scales, which unify and extend the corresponding continuous inequalities and their discrete
2 OuIang Inequality
Throughout this section, we fix t0∈ T and let T
t {t ∈ T : t ≥ t0}
Trang 2Lemma 2.1 Let y ∈ Crd, p∈ R, p t ≥ 0, for all t ∈ T
t0, and α ∈ R Then
y t ≤ α

implies that
y t ≤ αept, t0 ∀t ∈ T

Now we will give the OuIang inequality on time scales
Theorem 2.2 Let u and v be real-valued nonnegative rd-continuous functions defined on T

completes the proof
Remark 2.4 If α 0 and N 1/2, thenTheorem 2.3reduces toTheorem 2.2
Remark 2.5 If we multiply inequality2.16 by another exponential function on time scales,
for example, e 2α t, t0, we could get another kind of inequality, which is a special case of
Theorem 3.4

Pachpatte discussed several integral inequalities arising in the theory of differential equations and difference equations 3,4 Now, we extend some of these results to time scales First, we give some notations and definitions which are used in our subsequent discussion

be a constant If
F q t ≤ c At, r1, , r n−1, rF ∀t ∈ T
where c > 0 is a constant, then
F t ≤

This completes the proof
Remark 3.2. Theorem 3.1also holds for c 0 To show this, assume 3.4 holds for c 0, that
is,
F q t ≤ At, r1, , r n−1, rF ∀t ∈ T
Now, let d > 0 be arbitrary Then
F q t ≤ d At, r1, , r n−1, rF ∀t ∈ T
that is,3.4 holds for c d ByTheorem 3.1,3.5 also holds for c d, that is,
F t ≤
d q−1/qq− 1
q A t, r1, , r n−1, r
1/q−1
∀t ∈ T
Since3.23 holds for arbitrary d > 0, we may let d → 0in3.23 to arrive at
F t ≤

q A t, r1, , r n−1, r

∀t ∈ T
that is,3.5 holds for c 0.
Theorem 3.3 Let u, v, and h j for j 1, 2, 3, 4 be real-valued nonnegative rd-continuous functions
on t∈ T
0 and let q > 1 be a constant If c1, c2, and α are nonnegative constants such that
u q t ≤ c1 At, r1, , r n−1, h1u At, r1, , r n−1, h2v ∀t ∈ T
v q t ≤ c2 At, r1, , r n−1, h3u At, r1, , r n−1, h4v ∀t ∈ T

where h t max{h1t h3t, h2t h4t}.
Proof Multiplying3.25 by e q

concludes the proof
Theorem 3.4 Let q > 1 and B be the set of all nonnegative real-valued rd-continuous functions
defined on 0, t ∩ T Let K and L be monotone increasing linear operators on B If there exists a

Hence, zs ≤ zt for all 0 ≤ s ≤ t, so that z ≤ ztid on 0, t, and thus
Hence Lzt ≤ ztLt, and therefore Lz ≤ zL Similarly, Kz 1/q ≤ z 1/q K Using this and

4 Some Applications
In this section, we indicate some applications of our results to obtain the estimates of the solutions of certain integral equations for which inequalities obtained in the literature thus

Trang 11Theorem 4.1 Assume that p is a differentiable positive function such that pΔ is rd-continuous If there exist t0∈ T and M > 0 such that
1
p t e |pΔ|/2p t, t0 ≤ M ∀t ∈ T
then all nonoscillatory solutions of 4.1 are bounded.
Proof Let y be a nonoscillatory solution of4.1 Without loss of generality, we assume there
exists t0∈ T such that
y t > 0 ∀t ∈ T
Then
yΔΔt −p σ ty t y σ t< 0 ∀t ∈ T
Hence, yΔis strictly decreasing onT
t0 Thus, either
yΔt > 0 ∀t ∈ T
or there exists t1∈ T
t0such that
yΔt < 0 ∀t ∈ T
We now claim that4.6 is impossible to hold To show this, let us assume that 4.6 is true
Then y is strictly decreasing onT

Hence, there exists t2∈ T
t1such that

contradicting yt > 0 for all t ∈ T
t0 Similarly, we can prove that if yt < 0, then yΔΔt > 0 and yΔt ≤ 0 for t ∈ T

and Okrasi ´nski has studied the existence and uniqueness of solutions14
Here, we assume that every solution u of4.16 exists on the interval T
that the functions f, k, g in4.16 satisfy the conditions
From4.16 and using 4.17, it is easy to observe that
|ut| q ≤ c1

From4.24, we see that the solution ut of 4.16 approaches zero as t → ∞.
