Main Article Content

Hira Ashraf Baig, Naveed Ahmad

Abstract

We introduce the delta-integral representation of divided difference on arbitrary time scales and utilize it to set criteria for n-convex functions involving delta-derivative on time scales. Consequences of the theory appear in terms of estimates which generalize and extend some important facts in mathematical analysis.
