%0 Journal Article %T Terminal value problems for first and second order nonlinear equations on time scales %A Roman Hilscher %A Christopher C. Tisdell %J Electronic Journal of Differential Equations %D 2008 %I Texas State University %X In this paper we examine "terminal" value problems for dynamic equations on time scales - that is, a dynamic equation whose solutions are asymptotic at infinity. We present a number of new theorems that guarantee the existence and uniqueness of solutions, as well as some comparison-type results. The methods we employ feature dynamic inequalities, weighted norms, and fixed-point theory. %K Time scale %K terminal value problem %K nonlinear equation %K Banach fixed point theorem %K bounded solution %K weighted norm %U http://ejde.math.txstate.edu/Volumes/2008/68/abstr.html
