Maximum principles for second order dynamic equations on time scales. (English) Zbl 1126.34015
The paper contains different types of maximum principles for second order dynamic equations on a time scale $$\mathbb{T}$$ ( = arbitrary closed subset of the reals). The theorems generalize in a nontrivial way classical maximum principles for (continuous: $$\mathbb{T} = \mathbb{R}$$) ordinary differential equations.
