Abstract

Oscillation criteria for two-dimensional difference systems of first-order linear difference equations are generalized and extended to arbitrary dynamic equations on time scales. This unifies under one theory corresponding results from differential systems, and includes second-order self-adjoint differential, difference, and $q$ -difference equations within its scope. Examples are given illustrating a key theorem.
