在這篇論文裡，我們要討論的是在多維度的時間刻度下橢圓型動態算子和拋物型動態算子的極大值定理，並藉此得到一些應用。事實上，我們是將微分方程及差分方程裡的極大值定理推廣至所謂的動態方程中。

In this thesis, we establish the maximum principles for the elliptic dynamic operators and parabolic dynamic operators on multi-dimensional time scales, and apply it to obtain some applications. Indeed, we extend the maximum principles on differential equations and difference equations to the so-called dynamic equations.
