Popis: In this paper we examine the stability and instability of the equilibrium solution x = 0 to the first-order system of dynamic equations x^@D=f(t,x),t>=t"0,x@?D@?R^n,where t is from a so-called time scale T with t"0 @? Tand D is a compact set. Our methods involve the existence of a positive definite Liapunov function V, such that its delta-derivative V^@D satisfies certain integral, definite or semidefinite sign properties. Finally, we use Liapunov functions to develop an invariance principle regarding solutions to the above dynamic equation.
