Abstract In this article, we establish some stability criteria for the polar linear Hamiltonian dynamic system on time scales x (t) = α(t)x(σ (t)) + β(t)y(t),

y (t) = −γ (t)x(σ (t)) − α(t)y(t),

t∈Ì

1 Introduction A time scale is an arbitrary nonempty closed subset of the real numbers ℝ. We assume that Ì is a time scale. For t ∈ Ì , the forward jump operator σ : Ì → Ì is defined by σ (t) : inf{s ∈ Ì : s > t} , the backward jump operator ρ : Ì → Ì is defined by ρ(t) : sup{s ∈ Ì : s < t} , and the graininess function μ : Ì → [0, ∞} is defined by μ(t) = s(t) - t. For other related basic concepts of time scales, we refer the reader to the original studies by Hilger [1-3], and for further details, we refer the reader to the books of Bohner and Peterson [4,5] and Kaymakcalan et al. [6]. Definition 1.1. If there exists a positive number ω Î ℝ such that t + nω ∈ Ì for all t ∈ Ì and n Î ℤ, then we call Ì a periodic time scale with period ω. Suppose Ì is a ω-periodic time scale and 0 ∈ Ì . Consider the polar linear Hamiltonian dynamic system on time scale Ì x (t) = α(t)x(σ (t)) + β(t)y(t),

y (t) = −γ (t)x(σ (t)) − α(t)y(t),

For the second-order linear dynamic equation [p(t)x (t)] + q(t)x(σ (t)) = 0,

t ∈ Ì,

(1:4)

if let y(t) = p(t)xΔ (t), then we can rewrite (1.4) as an equivalent polar linear Hamiltonian dynamic system of type (1.1): x (t) =

1 y(t), p(t)

y (t) = −q(t)x(σ (t)),

t ∈ Ì,

Recently, Agarwal et al. [7], Jiang and Zhou [8], Wong et al. [9] and He et al. [10] established some Lyapunov-type inequalities for dynamic equations on time scales, which generalize the corresponding results on differential and difference equations. Lyapunov-type in
