Abstract

In this paper, we study the convergence of solutions to dynamic equations \(x^{\Delta }=f(t,x)\) on time scales \(\{\mathbb {T}_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty }\) when this sequence converges to the time scale \(\mathbb {T}\). The convergent rate of solutions is estimated when f satisfies the Lipschitz condition in both variables. By a general view, we derive a new approach to the approximation of dynamic equations on time scales, especially the Euler method for differential equations. Some examples are given to illustrate our results.
