We prove a necessary optimality condition of the Euler-Lagrange type for variational problems on time scales involving nabla derivatives of higher order. The proof is done using a new and more general fundamental lemma of the calculus of variations on time scales.

β¦ Synopsis
We consider a version of the double integral calculus of variations on time scales, which includes as special cases the classical two-variable calculus of variations and the discrete two-variable calculus of variations. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a local extremum are established, among them an analogue of the Euler-Lagrange equation.

An Ostrowski type inequality for a double integral is derived via a ββ-integral on time scales; this generalizes an Ostrowski type inequality and some related results from Liu et al. ( 2010) [1]. Some new applications are also given.
