Fuzzy Impulsive Dynamic Equations on Time Scales (Hardcover)

This book presents the main tools for investigations of the existence and uniqueness, as well as the existence, of multiple solutions for initial―and boundary―value problems for fuzzy impulsive dynamic equations on time scales.

Time-scale theory is relatively new. The basic theory attempts to unify both approaches of dynamic modeling: difference and differential equations. Similar ideas have been used before and go back to the introduction of the Riemann-Stieltjes integral, which unifies sums and integrals. Many results in differential equations easily carry over to the corresponding results for difference equations, while other results seem to be totally different in nature.

For these reasons, the theory of dynamic equations is an active area of research. The time scale calculus can be applied to any field in which dynamic processes are described by discrete or continuous time models. The calculus of time scales has various applications involving non-continuous domains such as certain insect populations, phytoremediation of metals, wound healing, maximization problems in economics, and traffic problems.

Fuzzy Impulsive Dynamic Equations on Time Scales is intended for researchers and students in engineering and science. The eight chapters in this book are organized in a way that is pedagogically accessible. Each chapter concludes with a section on practical problems to develop further understanding.
