Numerical Analysis on Time Scales

Mathematics Subject Classification 2010: Primary: 34N05 Dynamic equations on time scales or measure chains • 39A10 Additive difference equations • 41A05 Interpolation in approximation theory; • Secondary: 65D05 Numerical interpolation • 65L05 Numerical methods for initial value problems involving ordinary differential equations

Mathematical models cannot be solved using the traditional analytical methods for dynamic equations on time scales. These models must be dealt with using computational methods. This textbook introduces numerical methods for initial value problems for dynamic equations on time scales. Hands-on examples utilizing MATLAB and practical problems illustrate a wide variety of solution techniques.
