Hamilton-Jacobi Method for Mechanical Systems on Time Scales

This paper presents the Hamilton-Jacobi method for integrating the equations of motion of mechanical systems on time scales. We give the criterion and four basic forms of canonical transformation on time scales. Also, various examples are given to illustrate the role played by a generating function...
