Dynamic equations are analogues of differential equations on a [[time scale]]. If we have $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}$ then the resulting theory of dynamic equations is the thoery of differential equations. If $\mathbb{T}=h\mathbb{Z}$ then the resulting theory of dynamic equations is the theory of difference equations of stepsize $h$.
