The study of boundary value problems for dynamic equations on time scales has recently received a lot of attention, see 2–16. At the same time, there have been significant developments in impulsive differential equations, see the monographs of Lakshmikantham et al. 17 and Samo ˘ ılenko and Perestyuk 18. Recently, Benchohra and Ntouyas 19 obtained some existence results for second-order boundary value problem of impulsive differential equations on time scales by using Schaefer’s fixed point theorem and nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type. However, to the best of our knowledge, few papers have been published on the existence of solutions for second-order boundary value problem of impulsive dynamic equations on time scales via critical point theory. Inspired and motivated by Jiang and Zhou 10, Nieto and O’Regan 20, and Zhang and Li 21,westudy the existence of weak solutions for boundary value problems of impulsive dynamic equations on time scales 1.1–1.4 via critical point theory. This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we present some preliminary results concerning the time scales calculus and Sobolev’s spaces on time scales. In Section 3,we construct a variational framework for 1.1–1.4 and present some basic notation and results. Finally, Section 4 is devoted to the main results and their proof. 2. Preliminaries about Time Scales In this section, we briefly present some fundamental definitions and results from the calculus on time scales and Sobolev’s spaces on time scales so that the paper is self-contained. For more details, one can see 22–25. Definition 2.1. A time scale T is an arbitrary nonempty closed subset of R, equipped with the topology induced from the standard topology on R. For a, b ∈ T,a<b,a, b T :a, b ∩ T, a, b T :a, b ∩ T. Definition 2.2. One defines the forward jump operator σ : T → T, the backward jump operator ρ : T → T, and the graininess μ : T → R  0, ∞ by σ  t  : inf { s ∈ T : s>t } ,ρ  t  : sup { s ∈ T : s<t } ,μ  t   σ  t  − t for t ∈ T, 2.1 respectively. If σtt, then t is called right-dense otherwise: right-scattered,andifρtt, then t is called left-dense otherwise: left-scattered. Denote y σ tyσt. Definition 2.3. Assume f : T → R is a function and let t ∈ T. Then one defines f Δ t to be the number provided it exists with the property t hat given any ε>0, there is a neighborhood U of t i.e., U t − δ, t  δ ∩ T for some δ>0 such that     f  σ  t  − f  s   − f Δ  t  σ  t  − s     ≤ ε | σ  t  − s | ∀s ∈ U. 2.2 In this case, f Δ t is called the delta or Hilger derivative of f at t. Moreover, f is said to be delta or Hilger differentiable on T if f Δ t exists for all t ∈ T. Advances in Difference Equations 3 Definition 2.4. A function f : T → R is said to be rd-continuous if it is continuous at right- dense points in T and its left-sided limits exist finite at left-dense points in T. The set of rd-continuous functions f : T → R will be denoted by C rd T. As mentioned in 24, the Lebesgue μ Δ -measure can be characterized as follows: μ Δ  λ   i∈I  σ  t i  − t i  δ t i , 2.3 where λ is the Lebesgue measure on R, and {t i } i∈I is the at most countable set of all right-scattered points of T. A f unction f which is measurable with respect to μ Δ is called Δ-measurable, and the Lebesgue integral over a, b T is denoted by  b a f  t  Δt :   a,b  T f  t  dμ Δ . 2.4 The Lebesgue integral associated with the measure μ Δ on T is called the Lebesgue delta integral. Lemma 2.5 see 24, Theorem 2.11. If f, g : a, b T → R are absolutely continuous functions on a, b T ,thenf · g is absolutely continuous on a, b T and the following equality is valid:   a,b  T f  t  g Δ  t  Δt   f  t  g  t     b a −   a,b  T f Δ  t  g σ  t  Δt. 2.5 For 1 <p<∞, the Banach space L p Δ may be defined in the standard way, namely, L p Δ  a, b  T  :  f :  a, b  T −→ R | f is Δ-measurable and  b a   f  t    p Δt<∞  , 2.6 equipped with the norm   f   L p Δ :   b a   f  t    p Δt  1/p . 2.7 Let H 1 Δ a, b T  be the space of the form H 1 Δ  a, b  T  : W 1,2 Δ  a, b  T  :  f :  0,T  T −→ R | f is absolutely continuous on  a, b  T ,f Δ ∈ L 2 Δ  a, b  T   2.8 4 Advances in Difference Equations its norm is induced by the inner product given by  f, g  H 1 Δ :  b a f Δ  t  g Δ  t  Δt   b a f  t  g  t  Δt, 2.9 for all f, g ∈ H 1 Δ a, b T .

For more basic properties of Sobolev’s spaces on time scales, one may refer to Agarwal et al. 24. 3.
