Some new Gronwall-Bellman type delay integral inequalities in two independent variables on time scales are established, which can be used as a handy tool in the research of boundedness of solutions of delay dynamic equations on time scales. Some of the established results are 2D extensions of several known results in the literature, while some results unify existing continuous and discrete analysis.
1. Introduction
In the research of solutions of certain differential and difference equations, if the solutions are unknown, then it is necessary to study their qualitative and quantitative properties such as boundedness, uniqueness, and continuous dependence on initial data. The Gronwall- Bellman inequality1,2and its various generalizations, which provide explicit bounds, play a fundamental role in the research of this domain. During the past decades, much effort has been done for developing such inequalitiese.g., see3–15and the references therein. On the other hand, Hilger16initiated the theory of time scales as a theory capable to contain both difference and differential calculus in a consistent way. Since then many authors have expounded on various aspects of the theory of dynamic equations on time scalese.g., see 17–19 and the references therein. In these investigations, integral inequalities on time scales have been paid much attention by many authors, which play a fundamental role in the research of quantitative as well as qualitative properties of solutions of certain dynamic equations on time scales. A lot of integral inequalities on time scales have been established e.g., see 20–26, which have been designed to unify continuous and discrete analysis.
But to our best knowledge, the Gronwall-Bellman-type delay integral inequalities on time scales have been paid little attention in the literature so far. Recent results in this direction include the work of Li27and that of Ma and Peˇcari´c28. Furthermore, nobody has studied
the Gronwall-Bellman-type delay integral inequalities in two independent variables on time scales.
The aim of this paper is to establish some new Gronwall-Bellman-type delay integral inequalities in two independent variables on time scales, which provide new bounds for the unknown functions concerned. Some of our results are 2D extensions of many known inequalities in the literature, while some results unify existing continuous and discrete analysis. For illustrating the validity of the established results, we will present some applications of them.
First we will give some preliminaries on time scales and some universal symbols for further use.
Throughout this paper,Rdenotes the set of real numbers andR 0,∞, whileZ denotes the set of integers. For two given setsG, H, we denote the set of maps fromGtoH byG, H.
A time scale is an arbitrary nonempty closed subset of the real numbers. In this paper, Tdenotes an arbitrary time scale. OnTwe define the forward and backward jump operators σ∈T,Tandρ∈T,Tsuch thatσt inf{s∈T, s > t},ρt sup{s∈T, s < t}.
Definition 1.1. The graininessμ∈T,Ris defined byμt σt−t.
Remark 1.2. Obviously,μt 0 ifTRwhileμt 1 ifTZ.
Definition 1.3. A point t ∈ T is said to be left-dense ifρt t andt /infT, right-dense if σt tandt /supT, left-scattered ifρt< t, and right-scattered ifσt> t.
Definition 1.4. The setTκ is defined to be T if Tdoes not have a left-scattered maximum;
otherwise it isTwithout the left-scattered maximum.
Definition 1.5. A functionf ∈T,Ris called rd-continuous if it is continuous at right-dense points and if the left-sided limits exist at left-dense points, while f is called regressive if 1μtft/0.Crddenotes the set of rd-continuous functions, whileRdenotes the set of all regressive and rd-continuous functions, andR {f|f ∈R,1μtft>0, ∀t∈T}.
Definition 1.6. For some t ∈ Tκ and a function f ∈ T,R, the delta derivative of f at t is denoted byfΔt provided it existswith the property such that for everyε >0 there exists a neighborhoodUoftsatisfying
fσt−fs−fΔtσt−s≤ε|σt−s| ∀s∈U. 1.1
Similarly, for somey ∈ Tκand a function f ∈ T×T, R, the partial delta off with respect toyis denoted byfx, yΔy orfyΔx, yand satisfies
f x, σ
y
−fx, s−fyΔ x, y
σ y
−s≤εσ y
−s ∀ε >0, 1.2
wheres∈UandUis a neighborhood ofy.
Remark 1.7. IfTR, thenfΔtbecomes the usual derivativeft, whilefΔt ft1−ft ifTZ, which represents the forward difference.
For more details about the calculus of time scales, see29. In the rest of this paper, for the convenience of notation, we always assume thatT0 x0,∞
T,T0 y0,∞ T, wherex0, y0∈Tκand furthermore assumeT0⊆Tκ,T0⊆Tκ.
2. Main Results
We will give some lemmas for further use.
Lemma 2.1. SupposeX ∈T0 is a fixed number, anduX, y, aX, y, bX, y∈Crd, mX, y∈ Rwith respect toy,mX, y≥0, then

The proof ofLemma 2.1is similar to26, Theorem 5.6.
Lemma 2.2. Under the conditions ofLemma 2.1, and furthermore assumingax, yis nondecreasing inyfor every fixedx,bx, y≡1, then one has
u X, y
≤a X, y

. 2.4
Proof. Sinceax, yis nondecreasing inyfor every fixedx, then fromLemma 2.1we have

. 2.7
ThenvX, y0≤wX, y0for somey0∈TimpliesvX, y≤wX, yfor ally∈T.
The proof ofLemma 2.4is similar to26, Theorem 5.7.
Theorem 2.5. Suppose u, a, b, f ∈ CrdT0 ×T0,R, and ax, y, bx, y are nondecreasing.p is a constant, and p ≥ 1. τ1 ∈ T0,T, τ1x ≤ x,−∞ < α inf{τ1x, x ∈ T0} ≤ x0.τ2 ∈ T0,T, τ2y≤y,−∞< βinf{τ2y, y∈T0} ≤y0.φ∈Crdα, x0×β, y0

Then
u x, y
≤v1/p x, y
≤v1/p X, y

T, y∈T0. 2.13
Ifτ1x≥x0andτ2y≥y0, thenτ1x∈x0, XT, τ2y∈T0, and
u

≤v1/p
τ1x, τ2

Ifτ1x≤x0orτ2y≤y0, then from2.9we have

From2.14and2.15we always have

Moreover

FromLemma 2.3, we have

So

. 2.22
ReplacingXwithxin2.22, we obtain the desired inequality.
Remark 2.6. Theorem 2.5is the 2D extension of27, Theorem 1. For its special caseT R, the established bound forux, yin2.10is a new bound compared with the result in12, Theorem 2.2.
Remark 2.7. Assumebx, y≡1 inTheorem 2.5. If we applyLemma 2.2instead ofLemma 2.1 to2.19in the proof ofTheorem 2.5, then we obtain another bound forux, yas follows:
u x, y

Now we will establish a more general inequality than that inTheorem 2.5.
Theorem 2.8. Supposeu, a, b, f, φ, τ1, τ2, α, β are the same as inTheorem 2.5, andg ∈ CrdT0 × T0,R.p, q, rare constants, andp≥q≥0, p≥r≥0, ρ /0. If forx, y∈T0×T0,ux, ysatisfies the following inequality:

2.27
Then

Similar to2.14–2.16, we obtain
u

So

Considering X ∈ T0 is arbitrary and replacing X with x in2.35, we obtain the desired inequality.
Remark 2.9. Assumebx, y≡1 inTheorem 2.8. If we applyLemma 2.2instead ofLemma 2.1 to2.32in the proof ofTheorem 2.8, then we obtain another bound forux, yas follows:

Remark 2.10. Theorem 2.8is the 2D extension of27, Theorem 3.
Theorem 2.11. Supposeu, f, α, β, φ, τ1, τ2are the same as inTheorem 2.5, andC >0 is a constant.
If forx, y∈T0×T0,ux, ysatisfies the following inequality:

then

. 2.39
Proof. Let the right side of2.37bev2x, y. Then
u x, y
≤v x, y
, ∀ x, y
∈ T0×T0
. 2.40
Forx, y∈T0×T0, ifτ1x≥x0 and τ2y≥y0, thenτ1x∈T0 andτ2y∈T0, and from 2.40we have
u

Ifτ1x≤x0orτ2y≤y0, from2.38we have u

y
≤a1/2
τ1x, τ2

So from2.41and2.42, we always have
u
τ1x, τ2
y
≤v x, y
, ∀ x, y
∈ T0×T0
. 2.43
Similarly, whenτ1x≥ x0andστ2y≥ y0, thenτ1x ∈T0 andστ2y ∈T0, and from 2.40we have
u

y
≤v
τ1x, σ τ2
y
≤v x, σ

. 2.44
Whenτ1x ≤ x0orστ2y ≤ y0, consideringστ2y ≥ τ2y ≥ β, from2.38it follows that

Combining2.44and2.45, we always have u

and the proof is complete.
Remark 2.12. If we takeT R, thenTheorem 2.11becomes the extension of the known Ou- Iang’s inequality13to the 2D case.
The following theorem provides a more general result thanTheorem 2.11.
Theorem 2.13. Supposepis a positive integer, andp≥2. Under the conditions ofTheorem 2.11, if ux, ysatisfies

then

The proof ofTheorem 2.13is similar toTheorem 2.11. As long as we notice a delta d ifferentiable functionzx, y, the following formula26, Equation6.2holds:

Then following a similar manner as inTheorem 2.11, we can deduce the desired result.
Theorem 2.14. Suppose u, f, τ1, τ2, φ, α, β are the same as in Theorem 2.5, ω ∈ CR,R is nondecreasing, andp, Care constants with p ≥ 1, C > 0. Furthermore, define a bijective function Gsuch thatGzx, yΔy zx, yΔy/ωz1/px, y. If forx, y∈T0×T0,ux, ysatisfies the following inequality:

3. Some Simple Applications
In this section, we will present some examples to illustrate the validity of our results in deriving explicit bounds of solutions of certain delay dynamic equations on time scales.
Example 3.1. Consider the following delay dynamic integral equation:

y
≤y0, 3.2
whereu∈CrdT0×T0,R,φ, α, β, τ1, τ2are the same as inTheorem 2.8, andM∈CrdT0×T0× R,R. Furthermore, assume|Ms, t, u| ≤fs, t|u|qgs, t|u|r, wheref, g∈CrdT0×T0,R, andp, q, rare the same as inTheorem 2.8.
From3.1we have up

whereu∈CrdT0×T0,R, andN∈CrdT0×T0×R2,R.
Assume|Nx, y, u, v| ≤fx, y|u|2|v|2, wheref∈CrdT0×T0,R, then from3.6 we have

4. Conclusions
In this paper, we established some new Gronwall-Bellman-type delay integral inequalities in two independent variables on time scales. As one can see, the presented results provide a handy tool for deriving bounds for solutions of certain delay dynamic equations on time scales. Furthermore, the process of constructing Theorems2.5,2.8,2.14,2.16and2.17can be applied to the situation withnindependent variables.
