We establish WKB estimates for 2× 2 linear dynamic systems with a small parameter ε on a time
scale unifying continuous and discrete WKB method We introduce an adiabatic invariant for 2×
2 dynamic system on a time scale, which is a generalization of adiabatic invariant of Lorentz’s
pendulum As an application we prove that the change of adiabatic invariant is vanishing as ε
approaches zero This result was known before only for a continuous time scale We show that it is true for the discrete scale only for the appropriate choice of graininess depending on a parameter
ε The proof is based on the truncation of WKB series and WKB estimates.

1 Adiabatic invariant of dynamic systems on time scales
Consider the following system with a small parameter ε > 0 on a time scale:
where vΔis the delta derivative, vt is a 2-vector function, and
Atε Aτ
a11τ ε k a12τ
ε −k a21τ a22τ
, τ tε, k is an integer. 1.2
WKB method1,2 is a powerful method of the description of behavior of solutions
of1.1 by using asymptotic expansions It was developed by Carlini 1817, Liouville, Green
1837 and became very useful in the development of quantum mechanics in 1920 1,3 The discrete WKB approximation was introduced and developed in4 8
The calculus of times scales was initiated by Aulbach and Hilger9 11 to unify the discrete and continuous analysis
In this paper, we are developing WKB approximations for the linear dynamic systems
on a time scale to unify the discrete and continuous WKB theory Our formulas for WKB series
Trang 2are based on the representation of fundamental solutions of dynamic system1.1 given in
12 Note that the WKB estimate see 2.21 below has double asymptotical character and it
shows that the error could be made small by either ε→0, or t→∞.
It is well known13,14 that the change of adiabatic invariant of harmonic oscillator
is vanishing with the exponential speed as ε approaches zero, if the frequency is an analytic
function
In this paper, we prove that for the discrete harmonic oscillatoreven for a harmonic oscillator on a time scale the change of adiabatic invariant approaches zero with the power
speed when the graininess depends on a parameter ε in a special way.
A time scaleT is an arbitrary nonempty closed subset of the real numbers If T has a
left-scattered minimum m, thenTk T − m, otherwise T k T Here we consider the time scales with t ≥ t0, and sup T ∞.
For t∈ T, we define forward jump operator
σt inf{s ∈ T, s > t}. 1.3
The forward graininess function μ : T→0, ∞ is defined by
μt σt − t. 1.4
If σt > t, we say that t is right scattered If t < ∞ and σt t, then t is called right dense For f : T→R and t ∈ T k define the deltasee 10, 11 derivative fΔt to be the
numberprovided it exists with the property that for given any > 0, there exist a δ > 0 and
a neighborhood U t − δ, t δ ∩ T of t such that
|fσt − fs − fΔtσt − s| ≤ |σt − s| 1.5
for all s ∈ U.
For any positive ε define auxilliary “slow” time scales
with forward jump operator and graininess function
σ1τ inf{sε ∈ T ε, sε > τ}, μ1τ εμt, τ tε. 1.7
Further frequently we are suppressing dependence on τ tε or t To distinguish the
differentiation by t or τ we show the argument of differentiation in parenthesizes: fΔt
fΔt t or fΔτ fΔτ τ.

1.33 is satisfied Then for ε ≤ 1/C0 estimate1.18 with m 1 is true for all solutions vt of

and for λτ √a21 iτ −2γ it is satisfied for any real γ.
If λτ is an analytic function, then it is known (see [ 13 ]) that the change of adiabatic invariant approaches zero with exponential speed as ε approaches zero.

2 WKB series and WKB estimates
Fundamental system of solutions of1.1 could be represented in form

Introduce the matrix function
Ht 1 μtΨ−1tΨΔt−1Ψ−1tAtΨt − ΨΔt. 2.2
In16, the following theory was proved
Theorem 2.1 Assume there exists a matrix function Ψt ∈ C1
rdT∞ such that H ∈ R
rd, the matrix function Ψ μΨ∇ is invertible, and the following exponential function on a time scale is bounded:
e Ht ∞, t exp
∞
t lim log1 pHsΔs
p < ∞. 2.3
Then every solution of 1.1 can be represented in form 2.1 and the error vector function δt can be
estimated as
where · is the Euclidean vector (or matrix) norm.
Trang 7Remark 2.2 If μ t ≥ 0, then from 2.4 we get
δt ≤ C e∞t HsΔs− 1. 2.5
Proof of Remark 2.2 Indeed if x ≥ 0, the function fx x − log1 x is increasing, so fx ≥
f0, log1 x ≤ x, and from p ≥ 0, Ht ≥ 0 we get
