The Laplace transform provides an effective method for solving linear differential equations with constant coefficients and certain integral equations. Laplace transforms on time scales, which are intended to unify and to generalize the continuous and discrete cases, were initiated by Hilger [1] and then developed by Peterson and the authors [2] .

Definition 2.1. A time scale T is an arbtrary nonempty closed subset of the real numbers. Thus the real numbers R, the integers Z, the natural numbers N, the nonnegative integers, and the q-numbers with fixed are examples of time scales [2] [3] .

Definition 2.2. Assume is a function and. Then we define to be the number with the property that given any, there is a nighbourhood U (in T) of t such that

We call the delta (or Hilger) derivative of f at t.

is the usual Jakson derivative if.

Definition 2.3. If is a function, then its q-Laplace transform is defined by

for those values of, , for which this series converges, where.

Let us set

which is a polynomial in Z of degree. It is easily verified that the equations

hold, where. The numbers

and

so that is a closed domain of the complex plane C, whose points are in distance not less than from the set.

Lemma 2.4. For any,

Therefore, for an arbitrary number, there exists a positive integer such that

In particular,

Example 2.5. We find the q-Laplace transform of (k is a fixed number). We have in,

Example 2.6. We find the q-Laplace transform of the functions and .

We have (see [4] ),

On the other hand, we know that

Theorem 2.7. If the function satisfies the condition

where c and R are some positive constants, then the series in (1) converges uniformly with respect to z in the region and therefore its sum is an analytic (holomorphic) function in.

Proof. By Lemma 2.4, for the number R given in (8) we can choose an such that

Then for the general term of the series in (1), we have the estimate

Hence the proof is completed.

A larger class of functions for which the q-Laplace transform exists is the class of functions satisfying the condition

Theorem 2.8. For any, the series in (1) converges uniformly with respect to z in the region, and therefore its sum is an analytic function in.

Proof. By using the reverse (5), hence

Theorem 2.9. (Initial Value and Final Value Theorem). We have the following:

b) If for all, then

Proof. Assume for some. It follows from (1) that

Hence

Multiplying, on both sides of the relation of (12) and by using equivalence relation, which yields (10). Note that we have taken a term-by-term limit due to the uniform convergence (Theorem 2.8) of the series in the region.

Theorem 3.5. (Convolution Theorem). Assume that, , and exist for a given. Then at the point z,

1) We can see from Theorem 2.9(a) that no function has its q-Laplace transform equal to the constant function 1.

2) Finally, we note that most of the results concerning the Laplace transform on can be generalized appropriately to an arbitrary isolated time scale such that
