Existence results for periodic solutions of integro-dynamic equations on time scales

Using the topological degree method and Schaefer's fixed point theorem, we deduce the existence of periodic solutions of nonlinear system of integro-dynamic equations on periodic time scales. Furthermore, we provide several applications to scalar equations, in which we develop a time scale analog of Lyapunov's direct method and prove an analog of Sobolev's inequality on time scales to arrive at a priori bound on all periodic solutions. Therefore, we improve and generalize the corresponding results in Burton et al. (Ann Mat Pura Appl 161: 271-283, 1992)
