1 Projector analysis of dynamic systems on time scales

Abstract

This chapter presents a projector analysis of dynamic systems on time scales. We investigate the linear time-varying dynamic systems and classify them into those of the first, second, third, and fourth kind. The considered systems are investigated in the case when they are regular with tractability index 1. Then, we define jets of a function of one independent time scale variable and jets of a function of n independent real variables and one independent time scale variable. We introduce jet spaces and give some of their properties. In the chapter, we also define differentiable functions and total derivatives. We consider nonlinear dynamic systems on arbitrary time scales. We define properly involved derivatives, constraints, and consistent initial values for the considered equations. We introduce a linearization for nonlinear dynamic systems and investigate the total derivative for regular linearized equations with tractability index 1.

1.1 Linear time-varying dynamic-algebraic equations

This chapter is devoted to linear time-varying dynamic-algebraic equations. We classify them into those of the first, second, third and fourth kind. We investigate them in the case when they are regular with tractability index 1.

Suppose T is a time scale with forward jump operator and delta differentiation operator σ and Δ, respectively. Let I⊆T.

1.1.1 Linear time-varying dynamic-algebraic equations of the first kind

In this section, we will investigate the following linear time-varying dynamic-algebraic equation:

where A:I→Mn×m, B:I→Mm×n, C:I→Mn×n, and f:I→Rn are given. Here, with Mp×q we denote the set of all p×q real matrices.

We will consider the solutions of (1.1) within the space CB1(I). Below, we remove the explicit dependence on t for the sake of notational simplicity.

1.1.1.1 A particular case

Suppose that A,C:I→Mn×n. Consider the equation

We will show that equation (1.2) can be reduced to equation (1.1). Suppose that P is a C1-projector along kerAσ. Then

and

Hence, equation (1.2) takes the form

or

Set

Thus, (1.2) takes the form

i. e., equation (1.2) is a particular case of equation (1.1).

1.1.1.2 Standard form index 1 problems

In this section, we will investigate the equation

where kerA is a C1-space, C∈C(I), P is a C1-projector along kerA. Then
