This wiki is a resource for people who do research in time scale calculus. Time scale calculus is a unification and extension of differential and difference calculus in which one does calculus upon a set called a time scale $\mathbb{T}$. When $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}$ the resulting theory is differential calculus but when $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{Z}$ the resulting theory is difference calculus. Time scales also include any closed subset of $\mathbb{R}$, so more exotic sets such as the Cantor set are also considered in the theory.

Calculus on time scales

Probability Theory

Examples of time scales

  1. The real line: $\mathbb{R}$
  2. The integers: $\mathbb{Z} = \{\ldots, -1,0,1,\ldots\}$
  3. Multiples of integers: $h\mathbb{Z} = \{ht \colon t \in \mathbb{Z}\}$
  4. Quantum numbers ($q>1$): $\overline{q^{\mathbb{Z}}}$
  5. Quantum numbers ($q<1$): $\overline{q^{\mathbb{Z}}}$
  6. Square integers: $\mathbb{Z}^2 = \{t^2 \colon t \in \mathbb{Z} \}$
  7. Harmonic numbers: $\mathbb{H}=\left\{\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n \dfrac{1}{k} \colon n \in \mathbb{Z}^+ \right\}$
  8. The closure of the unit fractions: $\overline{\left\{\dfrac{1}{n} \colon n \in \mathbb{Z}^+\right\}}$
  9. Isolated points: $\mathbb{T}=\{\ldots, t_{-1}, t_{0}, t_1, \ldots\}$
