1 Introduction
The unification and extension of differential equations, difference equations, q-difference equations, and so on to the encompassing theory of dynamic equations on time scales was initiated by Hilger 1 in his Ph.D thesis in 1988 During the last few years, some integral inequalities on time scales related to certain inequalities arising in the theory of dynamic equations had been established by many scholars For example, we refer the reader to literatures 2 8 and the references therein However, nobody studied the delay integral inequalities on time scales, as far as we know In this paper, we investigate some delay integral inequalities on time scales, which provide explicit bounds on unknown functions Our results extend some known results in9
Throughout this paper, a knowledge and understanding of time scales and time scale notation is assumed For an excellent introduction to the calculus on time scales, we refer the reader to monographes10,11

It is easy to see that zt is a nonnegative and nondecreasing function, and
Therefore,

where C and p ≥ 1 are positive constants, τt, α, and ϕt are defined as in I
Theorem 2.8 Assume that xt, bt, ft ∈ CrdT0, R Then the inequality E with the initial

Using a similar way in the proof ofTheorem 2.4, we easily obtain that wt is a positive
and nondecreasing function, and
x
τt≤ wt, t ∈ T0 2.33 Differentiating 2.31, we obtain
pw p−1 θwΔt btx p t ftx p−1
where θ ∈ t, σt.
It follows from2.32–2.34 that
pw p−1 θwΔt ≤ btw p t ftw p−1 t, t ∈ T0 2.35
Noting the fact that 0 < wt ≤ wθ and wΔt ≥ 0, from the above inequality, we have
pw p−1 twΔt ≤ btw p t ftw p−1 t, t ∈ T0 2.36 Therefore,
wΔt ≤ bt p wt ft p , t ∈ T0. 2.37
wt ≤ C 1/p e b/p

Therefore, the desired inequality 2.30 follows from 2.32 and 2.38 This completes the proof ofTheorem 2.8

Therefore, the desired inequality 2.42 follows from 2.46 and 2.52 The proof of
Noting Ht, defined by 2.43, is nondecreasing for t ∈ T0, we easily obtain the following result
