Here we develop the nabla fractional calculus on time scales. Then we produce related integral inequalities of types: Poincaré, Sobolev, Opial, Ostrowski and Hilbert–Pachpatte. Finally we give inequality applications on the time scales R, Z. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Background and foundation results For the basics on time scales we follow [1–10]. Ref. [11] was an inspiration. By [12], p. 256, for µ, ν > 0 we have that x

where Γ is the gamma function. Here we consider time scales T such that Tk = T . Consider the coordinatewise ld-continuous functions b hα : T × T → R, α ≥ 0, such that b h0 (t , s) = 1,

is valid for all u, t ∈ T : u ≤ t . In the case of T = R; then ρ (t ) = t, and b hk ( t , s ) = α

t0

Let T = Z, then ρ (t ) = t −1, t ∈ Z. Define t 0 := 1, t k := t (t + 1) · · · (t + k − 1), k ∈ N, and by (2) we haveb hk ( t , s ) = s, t ∈ Z, Rk ∈ N0 . P t t Here t ∇τ = t0 + 1 . 0 Therefore by (4) we get

(t −s)k , k!

t X (t − τ + 1)k (τ − t0 )m (t − t0 )k+m+1 , = k! m! (k + m + 1)! τ =t +1 0

which results into t X (t − t0 + 1)k+m−1 (t − τ + 1)k−1 (τ − t0 + 1)m−1 = , (k − 1)! (m − 1)! (k + m − 1)! τ = t0

confirming (3). Next we follow [14]. Γ (t +α) Let a, α ∈ R, define t α = Γ (t ) , t ∈ R − {. . . , −2, −1, 0}, Na = {a, a ± 1, a ± 2, . . .}, notice N0 = Z, 0α = 0, t 0 = 1, and f : Na → R. Here ρ (s) = s − 1, σ (s) = s + 1, ν (t ) = 1. Also define

∇a−n f (t ) =

t X (t − ρ (s))n−1 s=a

where ν ∈ R − {. . . , −2, −1, 0}. Here we set

(t − s)α b hα (t , s) = , Γ (α + 1)

α ≥ 0.

We need Lemma 1. Let α > −1, x > α + 1. Then

Γ (x) 1 = Γ (x − α) (α + 1) Proof. Obvious.

Next for µ, ν > 1, τ < t, from the proof of Theorem 2.1 [14] we get that t X (t − ρ (s))ν−1 (s − ρ (τ ))µ−1 (t − ρ (τ ))ν+µ−1 = , Γ (ν) Γ (µ) Γ (µ + ν) s=τ

where τ ∈ {a, . . . , t }. So for t , t0 ∈ Na with t0 < t we obtain t X (t − τ + 1)ν−1 (τ − t0 + 1)µ−1 (t − t0 + 1)ν+µ−1 = , Γ (ν) Γ (µ) Γ (µ + ν) τ = t0

Lemma 3. Let α > 1, f ∈ L1 ([a, b] ∩ T ). Assume that b hα−1 (s, ρ (t )) is Lebesgue ∇ -measurable on ([a, b] ∩ T )2 ; a, b ∈ T . Then α Ja f ∈ L1 ([a, b] ∩ T ) .

Proof. Define K : Ω := ([a, b] ∩ T )2 → R, by K (s, t ) =

 b hα−1 (s, ρ (t )) , if a ≤ t ≤ s ≤ b, 0, if a ≤ s < t ≤ b.

which exists and is finite. Thus the function (s, t ) → K (s, t ) f (t ) is Lebesgue ∇ -integrable over Ω by Tonelli’s theorem. Let now the characteristic function

if t ∈ (a, s] ∩ T else,

where s ∈ [a, b] ∩ T . Then the function (s, t ) → χ(a,s]∩T (t ) K (s, t ) f (t ) is Lebesgue ∇ -integrable on Ω . Hence by Fubini’s theorem we get that b

where α, β > 1. Next we notice for α, β > 1; a, b ∈ T , f ∈ L1 ([a, b] ∩ T ), and b hα−1 (s, ρ (t )) is continuous on ([a, b] ∩ T )2 for any α > 1, that Z τ Z t b b Jaα Jaβ f (t ) = hα−1 (t , ρ (τ )) ∇τ hβ−1 (τ , ρ (u)) f (u) ∇ u a

t ∈ [a, b] ∩ T ; a, b ∈ T , the backward graininess deviation functional of f ∈ L1 ([a, b] ∩ T ) . If T = R, then D (f , α, β, R, t ) = 0. Putting things together we have Theorem 4. Let Tk = T , a, b ∈ T , f ∈ L1 ([a, b] ∩ T ); α, β > 1; b hα−1 (s, ρ (t )) is continuous on ([a, b] ∩ T )2 for any α > 1. Then Jaα Jaβ f (t ) + D (f , α, β, T , t ) = Jaα+β f (t ) ,

∀t ∈ [a, b] ∩ T . We make Remark 5. Let µ > 2 such that m − 1 < µ < m ∈ N, i.e. m = dµe (ceiling of the number), e ν = m − µ (0 < e ν < 1). m Let f ∈ Cldm ([a, b] ∩ T ). Clearly here [10] f ∇ is a Lebesgue ∇ -integrable function. We define the nabla fractional derivative on time scale T of order µ − 1 as follows:

More generally, by [15], given that f ∇ is everywhere finite and absolutely continuous on [a, b] ∩ T , then f ∇ exists ∇ -a.e. and is Lebesgue ∇ -integrable on (a, t] ∩ T , ∀t ∈ [a, b] ∩ T , and one can plug it into (12). We observe that 1 Jaµ−1 ∇aµ− ∗ f (t )

2. Fractional nabla inequalities on time scales We present a Poincaré type related inequality. Theorem 10. Let µ > 2, m − 1 < µ < m ∈ N, e ν = m − µ; f ∈ Cldm (T ), a, b ∈ T , a ≤ b, Tk = T . Suppose b hµ−2 k
