Abstract

This article investigates the existence of solutions to boundary value problems (BVPs) involving systems of first-order dynamic equations on time scales subject to two-point boundary conditions. The methods involve novel dynamic inequalities and fixed-point theory to yield new theorems guaranteeing the existence of at least one solution.
