Strong minimizers of the calculus of variations on time scales and the Weierstrass condition

We introduce the notion of strong local minimizer for the problems of the calculus of variations on time scales. Simple examples show that on a time scale a weak minimum is not necessarily a strong minimum. A time scale form of the Weierstrass necessary optimality condition is proved, which enables...
