\section{Introduction}

Yang \cite{y1} studied the dynamic behavior of bounded solutions
for the neutral functional differential equation
\begin{equation} \label{e1.1}
(x(t)-x(t-r))'=-F(x(t))+G(x(t-r)),
\end{equation}
and obtained the $\omega$ limit set for
bounded solutions.
Variations of \eqref{e1.1} have received considerable attention in
the literature,  because they are used as models
for  phenomena such as  population growth,
spread of epidemics, dynamics of
capital stocks, etc.  For more details and
references on this subject, we refer the reader
to \cite{k2,t1,x1}.

As is well known, impulsive differential
equations arise naturally in the
description of physical and biological
phenomena that are subjected
to instantaneous changes at some time instants called moments.
For a review on this theory, which has seen a significant
development over the past decades, we refer the interested
reader to the monographs \cite{l1,s1}.

It is well known that continuous and discrete systems are very
important in applications; also that Stefan Hilger introduce
time scales to unify the continuous and discrete analysis.
Therefore, it is meaningful to study dynamic systems on time scales
which can unify differential and difference systems.

To the best of the authors' knowledge, the
existence of positive periodic solutions for the following
system  has not been studied on time scales.
\begin{equation} \label{e1.2}
\begin{gathered}
(x(t)+\lambda c(t)x(t-\tau(t)))^{\Delta}
=-\lambda f( t,x(t),(x(t-\tau(t)),
\quad t\neq t_k,\; t\in\mathbb{T},\\
x(t_k^{+})=x(t_k^{-})-\lambda I_k(x(t_k)),
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
where $\lambda>0$, $\mathbb{T}$
is an $\omega$-periodic time scale, $c(t)\in C^{1}
(\mathbb{T},\mathbb{R} _{0})$, $\tau(t)\in C (\mathbb{T},\mathbb{R}
_{0} )$ are all $\omega$-periodic functions,
$I_k(u)\in C (\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R} _{0} )$,
$f(t,x,y)\in C (\mathbb{T\times R\times R}, \mathbb{R} _{0} )$
satisfies $f(t+\omega,x,y)=f(t,x,y)$
for all $(t,x,y)\in(\mathbb{T\times R\times R})$, $\omega>0$ is a
constant, $\mathbb{R}_{0}=[0,+\infty)$,
$\mathbb{R}^{-}=(-\infty,0)$. For each interval $I$ of $\mathbb{R}$,
we denote  $I_{\mathbb{T}}=I\cap\mathbb{T}$, $x(t_k^{+})$ and
$x(t_k^{-})$ represent the right and the left limit of $x(t_k)$
in the sense of time scales, in addition, if $t_k$ is
right-scattered, then $x(t_k^{+})=x(t_k)$, whereas, if $t_k$
is left-scattered, then $x(t_k^{-})=x(t_k)$, $k\in\mathbb{Z}$.
There exists a positive integer $p$ such that
$t_{k+p}=t_k+\omega$, $I_{k+p}=I_k$, $k\in\mathbb{Z}$. Without
loss of generality, we also assume that
$[0,\omega)_{\mathbb{T}}\cap\{t_k:k\in \mathbb{Z}\}
=\{t_{1},t_{2},\ldots,t_{p}\}$.

The main purpose of this article is to establish
criteria to guarantee the existence of
positive periodic solutions of system \eqref{e1.2} by
using a fixed point theorem of strict-set-contraction.
This article is organized as follows:
In Section $2$, we make some preparations.
Section $3$, by using a fixed point theorem of strict-set-contraction,
we prove the existence of positive periodic
solutions of system \eqref{e1.2}.
In Section 4, we give an example
to illustrate  the main results.

\section{Preliminaries}

In this section, we shall first recall some basic definitions,
and lemmas which are used in later.

\begin{definition}[\cite{b1}] \label{def2.1} \rm
A function $p:\mathbb{T}\to \mathbb{R}$
is said to be regressive provided $1+\mu(t)p(t)\neq0$
for all
$t\in \mathbb{T}^{k}$, where $\mu(t)=\sigma(t)-t$
is the graininess function.
The set of all regressive rd-continuous functions
$f:\mathbb{T}\to \mathbb{R}$ is denoted
by $\mathcal{R}$
while the set $\mathcal{R}^{+}$ is given by
$\{f\in \mathcal{R}:1+\mu(t)f(t)>0\}$
for all $t\in \mathbb{T}$. Let $p\in\mathcal{R}$.
The exponential function is
defined by
\[
e_{p}(t,s)=\exp\Big(\int_{s}^{t}
\xi_{\mu(\tau)}(p(\tau))\Delta\tau\Big),
\]
where $\xi_{h(z)}$ is the so-called cylinder transformation.
\end{definition}

\begin{lemma}[\cite{b1}] \label{lem2.1}
Let $p,q\in\mathcal{R}$. Then
\begin{itemize}
\item[(a)]
$e_{0}(t,s)\equiv 1$ and $e_{p}(t,t)\equiv 1$;
\item[(b)]
$\frac{1}{e_{p}(t,s)}=e_{\ominus p}(t,s)$, where
$\ominus p(t)=-\frac{p(t)}{1+\mu(t)p(t)}$;
\item[(c)]
$e_{p}(t,s)=\frac{1}{e_{p}(s,t)}=e_{\ominus p}(s,t)$;
\item[(d)]
$e_{p}(t,s)e_{p}(s,r)=e_{p}(t,r)$;
\item[(e)]
$e_{p}^{\Delta}(\cdot,s)=pe_{p}(\cdot,s)$.
\end{itemize}
\end{lemma}

\begin{definition}[\cite{b1}] \label{def2.2} \rm
For $f:\mathbb{T}\to \mathbb{R}$
and $t\in \mathbb{T}^{k}$, the delta
derivative of $f$ at $t$, denoted by
$f^{\Delta}(t)$, is the number
(provided it exists) with the property
that given any $\epsilon>0$,
there is a neighborhood $U\subset\mathbb{T}$ of $t$
such that
\[
|f(\sigma(t))-f(s)-f^{\Delta}(t)[\sigma(t)-t]|
\leq\epsilon|\sigma(t)-s|,
\quad \forall s\in U.
\]
\end{definition}

\begin{definition}[\cite{b1}] \label{def2.3} \rm
 If $F^{\Delta}(t)=f(t)$,
then we define the delta integral by
\[
\int_{a}^{t}f(s)\Delta s=F(t)-F(a).
\]
\end{definition}

\begin{definition}[\cite{k1}] \label{def2.4} \rm
We say that a time scale
$\mathbb{T}$ is periodic if there exists $p>0$
such that if $t\in \mathbb{T}$, then $t\pm p\in \mathbb{T}$.
For $\mathbb{T}\neq\mathbb{R}$, the smallest positive $p$ is
called the period of the time scale. Let $\mathbb{T}\neq\mathbb{R}$
be a periodic time scale with period p.
We say that the function $f:\mathbb{T}\to \mathbb{R}$
is periodic with period T if there
exists a natural number $n$ such that $T=np,f(t+T)=f(t)$ for all
$t\in \mathbb{T}$ and T is the smallest number such that $f(t+T)=f(t)$.
If $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}$,
we say that $f$ is periodic with period $T>0$ if $T$ is the smallest
positive number such that $f(t+T)=f(t)$ for all $t\in \mathbb{T}$.
\end{definition}


To obtain the existence of a periodic solution of
\eqref{e1.2}, we first make the following preparations:

Let $E$ be a Banach space and $K$ be a cone in $E$. The semi-order
induced by the cone $K$ is defined by  $x\leq y$
if  $y-x\in K$. In addition, for a bounded subset
$A\subset E$, let $\alpha_{E}(A)$ denote the (Kuratowski) measure of
non-compactness defined by
\begin{align*}
\alpha_{E}(A)=\inf\Big\{&\delta>0:
\text{there is a finite number of subsets}\\
 & A_i\subset A \text{ such that } A=\cup_{i}A_i
 \text{ and }\mathop{\rm diam}(A_i)\leq \delta\Big\},
\end{align*}
where $\mathop{\rm diam}(A_i)$ denotes the diameter of the set $A_i$.

Let $E, F$ be two Banach spaces and  $D\subset E$.
A continuous and
bounded map  $\Phi : \bar{\Omega} \to F$  is called
 $k$-set contractive if for any bounded set $S\subset D$ we have
 \[
 \alpha_F(\Phi(S))\leq k\alpha_E(S).
 \]
A map $\Phi$ is called strict-set-contractive if it is
$k$-set-contractive for some $0 \leq k < 1$.

The following lemma, cited from  \cite{c1,g1}, is used in the
proof of our main results.

\begin{lemma}[\cite{c1,g1}] \label{lem2.2}
Let $K$ be a cone of the real Banach space $X$ and
$K_{r,R}=\{x\in K|r\leq \|x\|\leq R\}$ with $R>r>0$. Suppose that
$\Phi: K_{r,R}\to K$ is  strict-set-contractive such that one of
the following two conditions is satisfied:
\begin{itemize}
\item[(i)]
$\Phi  x \nleq x$ for all $x \in K$, $\|x\|= r$ and $\Phi x\ngeq
x$, for all $x\in K$, $\|x\|=R$.
\item[(ii)]
  $\Phi  x \ngeq x$, for all $x \in K$, $\|x\|= r$ and
$\Phi x\nleq x$, for all $x\in K$, $\|x\|=R$.
\end{itemize}
Then $\Phi$ has at least one fixed point in $K_{r,R}$.
\end{lemma}

For convenience, we introduce the notation:
\[
f^{M}=\max_{t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}}|f(t)|,\quad
f^{l}=\min_{t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}}|f(t)|,\quad
f^{L}=\max_{t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}}|f^{\Delta}(t)|.
\]
We will use the following assumptions:
\begin{itemize}
    \item[(H1)] $f(t,0,y)=0$ and
there exist positive constants $l_{f}$ and $L_{f}$ such that
\[
|f(t,x,y)-f(t,u,v)|\leq L_{f}(|x-u|+|y-v|)
\]
for all $(t,x,y), (t,u,v)\in (\mathbb{T},\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})$.

    \item[(H2)]
There exists an $\omega$-periodic function
$a(t)\in C(\mathbb{T,\mathbb{R}}^{-})$ such that
\[
1+a(t)\mu(t)\neq 0,\quad
  - \zeta  \lambda^{-1}a(t)-   |c^{\Delta}(t)|
-   \zeta c^{\sigma}(t)\geq 0\quad \text{for all }
t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}},
\]
where
$\zeta=\frac{\gamma_{2}\eta_{2}}{\gamma_{1}\eta_{1}}$,
$\gamma_{1}=\max_{t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}}
\big(e_{\varominus a }(t,t-\omega)-1\big)^{-1}$,\\
$\gamma_{2}=\min_{t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}}
\big(e_{\varominus a }(t,t-\omega)-1\big)^{-1}$,
$\eta_{1}=\max_{u\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}}
e_{\varominus a }(t,u)$,
$\eta_{2}=\min_{u\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}}
e_{\varominus a }(t,u)$.

    \item[(H3)]
$(\varominus a)^{M}\leq 1$.

    \item[(H4)]
\begin{align*}
&\max_{t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}}\big
\{-\lambda^{-1}a(t)+|c^{\Delta}(t)|+c^{\sigma}(t)
+L_{f}    \big\}\\
&\leq\frac{\gamma_{2}\eta_{2}}{\gamma_{1}\kappa}\big
(1+(\varominus a)^{l}\big)
\times\int_{0}^{\omega}
\big(-\zeta \lambda^{-1}a(s)-|c^{\Delta }(s)
|-\zeta c^{\sigma}(s) \big)\Delta s,
\end{align*}
where $\kappa=\max_{t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}}
\big\{e_{\varominus a }(\sigma(t)+\omega,t)-e_{\varominus a }
(\sigma(t),t)\big\}$.

    \item[(H5)]
There exist positive constants $I_k^{l}$, $I_k^{M}$ such that
\[
I_k^{l}x^{2}\leq I_k(x)\leq I_k^{M}x^{2}
\quad \text{for all }x\in\mathbb{R},\; k\in\mathbb{Z}.
\]

 \item[(H6)] $\gamma_{1}\kappa c^{M}<1$.

 \item[(H7)]
$\gamma_{1}\eta_{1}a^{M}\omega<1$,
\[
\lambda<\frac{1-\gamma_{1}\eta_{1}a^{M}\omega}
{\gamma_{1}\eta_{1}(c^{L}\omega+\zeta^{-1}c^{M}\omega+L_{f}+I^{M})},
\]
 where $I^{M}=\sum_{k=1}^{p}I_k^{M}$.
\end{itemize}

To apply Lemma \ref{lem2.2} to system \eqref{e1.2},
we define
\begin{align*}
PC(\mathbb{T})=\big\{&x:\mathbb{T} \to\mathbb{R}|
x|_{(t_k,t_{k+1})_\mathbb{T}} \in
C((t_k,t_{k+1})_\mathbb{T},\mathbb{R}), \\
 &\exists x(t_k^{-})=x(t_k), x(t_k^{+}), k\in\mathbb{Z}\big\},
\\
PC^{1}(\mathbb{T})=\big\{&x:\mathbb{T} \to\mathbb{R}|
x|_{(t_k,t_{k+1})_\mathbb{T}} \in
C((t_k,t_{k+1})_\mathbb{T},\mathbb{R}),\\
& \exists
x^{\Delta}(t_k^{-}) =x^{\Delta}(t_k), x(t_k^{+}),
k\in\mathbb{Z}\big\}.
\end{align*}
Set
\[
\mathbb{X}=\{x(t)\in
PC(\mathbb{T}): x(t+\omega)=x(t)\}
\]with
the norm
 $|x|_{0}=\max_{t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}}|x(t)|$, and
\[
\mathbb{Y}=\{x(t)\in
PC^{1}(\mathbb{T}): x(t+\omega)=x(t)\}
\]
with the norm  $|x|_{1}=\max_{t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}}
\{|x|_{0},|x^{\Delta}|_{0}\}$.
Then $\mathbb{X}$ and $\mathbb{Y}$ are  Banach spaces.
Defined the cone $K$ in $\mathbb{Y}$ by
\[
K=\{x\in\mathbb{Y}:x(t)\geq\zeta|x|_{1},
\,t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}\}.
\]

\begin{lemma} \label{lem2.3}
A function $x\in \mathbb{Y}$ is a solution of
\eqref{e1.2} if and only if
\[
x(t)=\int_{t-\omega}^{t}\lambda G(t,s)
F(s)\Delta s+\sum_{k:t_k
\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}}
\lambda G(t,t_k) I_k(x(t_k)),
\]
where
\begin{gather*}
G(t,s)=\frac{e_{\varominus a }(t,s)}
{e_{\varominus a}(t,t-\omega)-1}, \\
\begin{aligned}
F(s)&=-\lambda^{-1}a(s)x^{\sigma}(s)
+ c^{\Delta}(s)x(s-\tau(s)\\
&\quad +c^{\sigma}(s)x^{\Delta}(s-\tau(s))
+ f( s,x(s),x(s-\tau(s)),\quad s\in [t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}},
\end{aligned}
\end{gather*}
and $a(t)$ satisfies {\rm (H2)}.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
Rewrite the first equation of \eqref{e1.2} in the form
\[
x^{\Delta}(t)
=-\lambda c^{\Delta}(t)x(t-\tau(t)-\lambda c^{\sigma}(t)
x^{\Delta}(t-\tau(t))-\lambda f( t,x(t),x(t-\tau(t)),
\]
then
\begin{equation} \label{e2.1}
\begin{aligned}
x^{\Delta}(t)+   a(t)x^{\sigma}(t)
&=  \lambda^{-1} a(t)x^{\sigma}(t)- \lambda
c^{\Delta}(t)x(t-\tau(t))
-\lambda c^{\sigma}(t)x^{\Delta}(t-\tau(t))\\
&\quad - \lambda f( t,x(t),x(t-\tau(t))\\
&:=-\lambda F(t).
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
 Let $x\in \mathbb{Y}$
be a solution of system \eqref{e1.2}.
Multiply both sides of \eqref{e2.1} by
$e_{a}(t,0)$ to get
\begin{equation} \label{e2.2}
\big(x(t)e_{a}(t,0)\big)^{\Delta} =-\lambda e_{a}(t,0)F(t).
\end{equation}
For any
$t\in\mathbb{T}$, there exists $k\in\mathbb{Z}$
such that $t_k$ is the first impulsive
point after $t-\omega$. For $s\in[t-\omega,t_k]_{\mathbb{T}}$,
we integrate  \eqref{e2.2} from $t-\omega$ to $s$ to obtain
\[
x(s)e_{a}(s,0)=x(t-\omega)e_{a}(t-\omega,0)
-\int_{t-\omega}^{s}\lambda e_{a}(r,0)
F(r)\Delta r.
\]
Then
\[
x(t_k)e_{a}(t_k,0)=x(t-\omega)e_{a}(t-\omega,0)
-\int_{t-\omega}^{t_k}\lambda e_{a }(r,0)
F(r)\Delta r.
\]
For $s\in(t_k,t_{k+1}]_{\mathbb{T}}$,
we integrate \eqref{e2.2} from $t_k$ to $s$ once more to obtain
\begin{align*}
x(s)e_{a}(s,0)
&= x(t_k^{+})e_{a}(t_k,0)
-\int_{t_k}^{s}\lambda e_{a }(r,0)
F(r)\Delta r\\
&= x(t_k)e_{a}(t_k,0)-\int_{t_k}^{s}
\lambda e_{a}(r,0)
F(r)\Delta r-\lambda e_{a}(t_k,0)I_k(x(t_k))\\
&= x(t-\omega)e_{a}(t-\omega,0)
-\int_{t-\omega}^{s}\lambda e_{a }(r,0)
F(r)\Delta r-\lambda e_{a}(t_k,0)I_k(x(t_k)).
\end{align*}
Repeating the above process for
$s\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}$, we have
\begin{align*}
x(s)e_{a}(s,0)
&=x(t-\omega)e_{a}(t-\omega,0)
-\int_{t-\omega}^{s}\lambda e_{a}(r,0) F(r)\Delta r \\
&\quad -\sum_{k:t_k
\in[t-\omega,s]_{\mathbb{T}}}
\lambda e_{a}(t_k,0)I_k(x(t_k)).
\end{align*}
Let $s=t$ in the above equality, we get
\begin{align*}
x(t)e_{a}(t,0)
&=x(t-\omega)e_{a}(t-\omega,0)
-\int_{t-\omega}^{t}\lambda e_{a}(s,0) F(s)\Delta s\\
&\quad -\sum_{k:t_k
\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}}
\lambda e_{a}(t_k,0)I_k(x(t_k)).
\end{align*}
Then
\begin{align*}
x(t)&= \int_{t-\omega}^{t}
\frac{e_{\varominus a }(t,s)}{e_{\varominus a}(\omega,0)-1}
\lambda F(s)\Delta s+\sum_{k:t_k
\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}}\frac{e_{\varominus a }(t,t_k)}
{e_{\varominus a}(\omega,0)-1}\lambda I_k(x(t_k))\\
&= \int_{t-\omega}^{t}\lambda G(t,s)
F(s)\Delta s+\sum_{k:t_k
\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}}\lambda G(t,t_k) I_k(x(t_k)),
\end{align*}
where we have used Lemma \ref{lem2.1} to simplify the exponentials.
The proof is complete.
\end{proof}

Let the mapping $\Phi$ be defined by
\begin{equation} \label{e2.3}
(\Phi x)(t)=\int_{t-\omega}^{t}\lambda G(t,s)
F(s)\Delta s+\sum_{k:t_k
\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}}\lambda G(t,t_k) I_k(x(t_k)),
\end{equation}
where
$x\in K$, $t\in \mathbb{T}$, $F(s)$, $G(t,s)$ is given by
\eqref{e2.1} and
\[
0<\gamma_{2}\eta_{2}\leq G(t,s) \leq\gamma_{1}\eta_{1}, \quad
s\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}.
\]

\begin{lemma} \label{lem2.4}
Assume that {\rm (H1)--(H4)} hold.
Then $\Phi:K\to K$ is well defined.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
For any $x\in K$, we have $\Phi x\in PC^{1}(\mathbb{T})$.
In view of \eqref{e2.3}, for $ t\in\mathbb{T}$,
we have
\begin{equation} \label{e2.4}
\begin{aligned}
(\Phi x)(t+\omega)
&= \frac{1}{e_{\varominus a }
(t,t-\omega)-1}\int_{t}^{t+\omega}\lambda
e_{\varominus a }(t+\omega,s) F(s)\Delta s \\
&\quad +\sum_{k:t_k
\in[t,t+\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}}
\lambda G(t+\omega,t_k)I_k(x(t_k)).
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
Using the periodicity of
$a$, $c$, $\tau$, $f$, and letting $u=s-\omega$,
 by \eqref{e2.4} we obtain
\begin{equation} \label{e2.5}
\begin{aligned}
(\Phi x)(t+\omega)
&= \frac{1}{e_{\varominus a }(t,t-\omega)-1}
\int_{t-\omega}^{t} \lambda e_{\varominus a }(t+\omega,u+\omega)
F(u)\Delta u \\
&\quad +\sum_{k:t_k\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}}
\lambda G(t+\omega,t_k+\omega) I_k (x(t_k+\omega) ).
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
At the same time, from the definition of $e_{a}(t,s)$
and the periodicity of $a$, we have
$e_{\varominus a}(t+\omega,u+\omega)=e_{\varominus a }(t,u)$
and
$e_{\varominus a }(t+\omega,u) =e_{\varominus a}(t,u-\omega)$.
Thus \eqref{e2.5}
becomes $(\Phi x)(t+\omega)=(\Phi x)(t)$.
In view of (H2), for $x\in K$,
$t_k\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}$, we obtain
\begin{equation} \label{e2.6}
\begin{aligned}
F(t)&= -\lambda^{-1}a(t)x^{\sigma}(t)
+ c^{\Delta}(t)x(t-\tau(t)
+ c^{\sigma}(t)x^{\Delta}(t-\tau(t))
+ f( t,x(t),x(t-\tau(t)) \\
&\geq - \zeta  \lambda^{-1}a(t)|x|_{1}-|c^{\Delta}(t)\|x|_{1}
-  \zeta c^{\sigma}(t) |x|_{1}
 \\
&= \big( - \zeta  \lambda^{-1}a(t)-   |c^{\Delta}(t)|
-   \zeta c^{\sigma}(t)
 \big)|x|_{1}
\geq 0.
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
For $x\in K$, $t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}$, by \eqref{e2.6} we obtain
\begin{align*}
|\Phi x|_{0}
&= \max_{t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}}
\Big\{\int_{t-\omega}^{t}\lambda G(t,s)
F(s)\Delta s+\sum_{k:t_k
\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}}
\lambda G(t,t_k) I_k(x(t_k))\Big\}\\
&\leq \lambda \gamma_{1}\eta_{1}
\int_{0}^{\omega}F(s)\Delta s
+\lambda \gamma_{1}\eta_{1}\sum_{k=1}^{p}
I_k(x(t_k))
\end{align*}
and
\begin{equation} \label{e2.7}
\begin{aligned}
(\Phi x)(t)
&= \int_{t-\omega}^{t}\lambda G(t,s)
F(s)\Delta s+\sum_{k:t_k
\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}}\lambda G(t,t_k)
I_k(x(t_k)) \\
&\geq \lambda \gamma_{2}\eta_{2}
\int_{0}^{\omega}F(s)\Delta s
+\lambda \gamma_{2}\eta_{2}\sum_{k=1}^{p}
I_k(x(t_k)) \\
&\geq \frac{\gamma_{1}\eta_{1}}{\gamma_{2}\eta_{2}}
|\Phi x|_{0}=\zeta|\Phi x|_{0}.
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
 Form \eqref{e2.3} and (H3), we have
\begin{align*}
(\Phi x)^{\Delta}(t)
&= \Big(\int_{t-\omega}^{\tilde{a}}
\lambda G(t,s)F(s)\Delta s+\int_{\tilde{a}}^{t}
\lambda G(t,s)F(s)\Delta s\\
&\quad +\sum_{k:t_k\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}}
\lambda G(t,t_k) I_k(x(t_k))

{e_{\varominus a }(t,t-\omega)-1}\lambda F(t)
+\varominus a(\Phi x)(t)\\
&\leq \varominus a(\Phi x)(t)\leq(\varominus a)^{M}
(\Phi x)(t)\leq(\Phi x)(t),
\end{align*}
where $\tilde{a}\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}$
is an arbitrary constant. If  $(\Phi x)^{\Delta}(t)\geq 0$,
we have
\begin{equation} \label{e2.8}
|\Phi x|_{0}\geq|(\Phi x)^{\Delta}|_{0}.
\end{equation}
If  $(\Phi x)^{\Delta}(t)<0$, by \eqref{e2.7} and (H4),
we have
\begin{equation} \label{e2.9}
\begin{aligned}
-(\Phi x)^{\Delta}(t)

&\leq \big(1+(\varominus a)^{l}\big)\big(\Phi x)(t)
-(\varominus a)^{l}(\Phi x)(t) \\
&= (\Phi x)(t).
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
 Form \eqref{e2.8} and \eqref{e2.9}, we have
 $|(\Phi x)^{\Delta}|_{0}\leq|(\Phi x)|_{0}$.
So $|\Phi x|_{1}=|\Phi x|_{0}$.
By \eqref{e2.7} we have
 $(\Phi x)(t)\geq \zeta |\Phi x|_{1}$. Hence $\Phi x \in K$.
The proof  is complete.
\end{proof}

\begin{lemma} \label{lem2.5}
Assume that {\rm (H1)-(H6)} hold, then
$\Phi:K\cap\Omega_{R}\to K$
is strict-set-contractive,
where $\Omega_{R}=\{x\in\mathbb{Y}:|x|_{1}<R\}$.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
Obviously, $\Phi$ is continuous and bounded on $\Omega_{R}$. Now we show
$\alpha_{\mathbb{Y}}\big(\Phi(S)\big)
\leq\gamma_{1}\kappa c^{M}\alpha_{\mathbb{Y}}(S)$
for any bounded set $S\subset\overline{\Omega}_{R}$.
Let $\eta=\alpha_{\mathbb{Y}}(S)$.
Then for any positive number
$\varepsilon<\gamma_{1}\kappa c^{M}\eta$,
there exists a finite family of subsets $\{S_{i}\}$ satisfying
$S=\cup_{i}S_{i}$ with $\mathop{\rm diam}S_{i}\leq\eta+\varepsilon$.
Hence,
\begin{equation}  \label{e2.10}
|x-y|_{1}\leq\eta+\varepsilon \quad \text{for all }
x,y\in S_{i}.
\end{equation}
As $S$ and  $S_{i}$ are precompact in $\mathbb{X}$,
then there exist a finite family of subsets $(S_{ij})$ of
$S_{i}$ such that $S_{i}=\cup_{ij}S_{ij}$ and
\begin{equation} \label{e2.11}
|x-y|_{0}\leq\varepsilon \quad \text{for all } x,y\in S_{ij}.
\end{equation}
Furthermore, for any $x\in S$,
$t
\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}$, we have
\begin{align*}
|(\Phi x)(t)|
&= \int_{t-\omega}^{t}\lambda G(t,s)
F(s)\Delta s+\sum_{k:t_k\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}}
\lambda G(t,t_k) I_k\big(x(t_k)\big)\\
&\leq \lambda \gamma_{1}\eta_{1}R
\int_{0}^{\omega}\big(\lambda^{-1}|a(s)|
+|c^{\Delta}(s)|+|c^{\sigma}(s)|+L_{f} \big)\Delta s
+\lambda \gamma_{1}\eta_{1}R^{2}\sum_{k=1}^{m}I_k^{M}\\
&:=\Gamma
\end{align*}
and
\begin{align*}
|(\Phi x)^{\Delta}(t)|
&= \Big|\frac{e_{\varominus a}(\sigma(t),t)
-e_{\varominus a }(\sigma(t)+\omega,t)}
{e_{\varominus a  }(t,t-\omega)-1}\lambda F(t)
-\varominus a(\Phi x)(t)\Big|\\
&\leq \lambda\gamma_{1}\kappa R\big(\lambda ^{-1}a^{M}+c^{L}+c^{M}
+L_{f} \big)+(\varominus a)^{M}\Gamma.
\end{align*}
 Applying Arzela-Ascoli theorem on time scales \cite{a1},
we know that $\Phi(S)$ is precompact in $\mathbb{X}$.
So there exists a finite family of subsets $\{S_{ijk}\}$ of $S_{ij}$
such that $S_{ij}=\cup_kS_{ijk}$ and
\begin{equation} \label{e2.12}
|\Phi x-\Phi y|_{0}\leq\varepsilon
\quad \text{for all } x,y\in S_{ijk}.
\end{equation}
 From \eqref{e2.10}-\eqref{e2.11}, for any $x,y\in S_{ijk}$,
we have
\begin{align*}
&|(\Phi x)^{\Delta}-(\Phi y)^{\Delta}|_{0}\\
&= \max_{t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}}
\Big\{\Big|(\varominus a)(\Phi x(t)-\Phi y(t))\\
&\quad + \frac{e_{\varominus a}(\sigma(t),t)-e_{\varominus a }
(\sigma(t)+\omega,t)}{e_{\varominus a }(t,t-\omega)-1}
\big(-\lambda^{-1}a(t)x^{\sigma}(t)+  c^{\Delta}(t)x(t-\tau(t))\\
&\quad +  c^{\sigma}(t)x^{\Delta}(t-\tau(t))
+  f( t,x(t),x(t-\tau(t))\big)\\
&\quad - \frac{e_{\varominus a}(\sigma(t),t)-e_{\varominus a }
(\sigma(t)+\omega,t)}{e_{\varominus a}(t,t-\omega)-1}
\big(-\lambda^{-1}a(t)y^{\sigma}(t)+  c^{\Delta}(t)y(t-\tau(t))\\
&\quad +  c^{\sigma}(t)y^{\Delta}(t-\tau(t))
+  f( t,y(t),y(t-\tau(t))\big)
\Big|\Big\}\\
&\leq (\varominus a)^{M}\big|\Phi x(t)-\Phi y(t)\big|_{0}
+\gamma_{1}\kappa \lambda^{-1}a^{M}
\max_{t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}}
|x^{\sigma}(t)-y^{\sigma}(t)|\\
&\quad +\gamma_{1}\kappa c^{L}\max_{t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}}
|x(t-\tau(t))-y(t-\tau(t))|\\
&\quad +\gamma_{1}\kappa c^{ M}\max_{t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}}
|x^{\Delta}(t-\tau(t))-y^{\Delta}(t-\tau(t))|\\
&\quad +\gamma_{1}
\kappa L_{f}\max_{t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}}|x(t)-y(t)|
+\gamma_{1}\kappa L_{f}\max_{t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}}
|x(t-\tau(t))-y(t-\tau(t))|\\
&\leq (\varominus a)^{M}\varepsilon+\gamma_{1}\kappa \lambda^{-1}a^{M}\varepsilon+\gamma_{1}\kappa c^{L}\varepsilon
+\gamma_{1}\kappa c^{ M}(\eta+\varepsilon)
+2\gamma_{1}\kappa L_{f}\varepsilon\\
&=\gamma_{1}\kappa c^{ M}\eta+\widehat{H}\varepsilon,
\end{align*}
where $\widehat{H}=(\varominus a)^{M}
+\gamma_{1}\kappa \lambda^{-1}a^{M}+\gamma_{1}\kappa c^{L}
+\gamma_{1}\kappa c^{ M} +2\gamma_{1}\kappa L_{f}$. From the above
inequality and \eqref{e2.12}, we have
\[
|\Phi x-\Phi y|_{1}\leq\gamma_{1}\kappa c^{ M}\eta
+\widehat{H}\varepsilon \quad \text{for all } x, y\in S_{ijk}.
\]
Since $\varepsilon$ is arbitrary small, we have
\[
\alpha_{\mathbb{Y}}(\Phi(S))\leq\gamma_{1}\kappa c^{M}
\alpha_{\mathbb{Y}}(S).
\]
Hence, $\Phi$ is strict-set-contractive on $K\cap\Omega_{R}$.
The proof  is complete.
\end{proof}

\section{Main results}

\begin{theorem} \label{thm3.1}
Assume that {\rm (H1)--(H7)} hold.
Then  \eqref{e1.2} has at least one positive
$\omega$-periodic solution.
\end{theorem}

\begin{proof}
Let
\[
R=\frac{1+\lambda \gamma_{2}\eta_{2}
\omega(c^{L}+c^{M})}{\lambda \gamma_{2}\eta_{2}
\omega I^{l}\zeta^{2}}
\]
and $0<r<\min\{1,R\}$, where $I^{l}=\sum_{k=1}^{p}I_k^{l}$.
Then $0<r<R$.
From Lemmas \ref{lem2.4} and \ref{lem2.5}, we know that $\Phi$ is
strict-set-contractive on $K_{r,R}$. In view of Lemma \ref{lem2.3}, we see
that if there exists $x^*\in K$
such that $\Phi x^* = x^*$, then $x^*$ is a positive
$\omega$-periodic solution of  \eqref{e1.2}.
Now, we shall prove that
condition (ii) of Lemma \ref{lem2.2} holds.

First, we prove that $\Phi x\ngeqslant x$,
for all $x\in K$, $|x|_{1}=r$. Otherwise,
there exists $x \in K$, $|x|_{1}=r$,
such that $\Phi x\geq x$. So $\Phi x-x\in K$,
which implies that
\begin{equation} \label{e3.1}
 (\Phi x)(t)-x(t)\geq  \zeta|\Phi x-x|_{1}\geq 0
 \quad\text{for all } t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}.
\end{equation}
In addition, for $t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}$,
from (H7) we obtain
\begin{equation} \label{e3.2}
\begin{aligned}
 (\Phi x)(t)
&= \int_{t-\omega}^{t}\lambda G(t,s)
F(s)\Delta s+\sum_{k:t_k
\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}}\lambda G(t,t_k)
I_k(x(t_k)) \\
&= \int_{t-\omega}^{t}\lambda G(t,s)
\big(
-\lambda^{-1}a(s)x^{\sigma}(s)+ c^{\Delta}(s)x(s-\tau(s)
+  c^{\sigma}(s)x^{\Delta}(s-\tau(s)) \\
&\quad + f( s,x(s),x(s-\tau(s))
\big)
\Delta s+\sum_{k:t_k\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}}
\lambda G(t,t_k) I_k(x(t_k)) \\
&\leq \lambda\gamma_{1}\eta_{1}
\omega\big(\lambda^{-1}a^{M}|x|_{0}
+c^{L}|x|_{0}+\zeta^{-1}c^{M}|x|_{0}
+L_{f}|x|_{0}\big)+\lambda\gamma_{1}
\eta_{1}I^{M}|x|_{0}^{2} \\
&\leq \lambda\gamma_{1}\eta_{1}
\big(\lambda^{-1} a^{M}\omega
+c^{L}\omega+\zeta^{-1}c^{M}\omega+L_{f}
+I^{M}\big)|x|_{0} \\
&< |x|_{0}.
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
 From \eqref{e3.1} and \eqref{e3.2}, we find that
\[
|x|_{0}\leq|\Phi x|_{0} <|x|_{0},
\]
which is a contradiction.
Finally, we prove that $\Phi x\nleqslant x$
for all $x\in K$, $|x|_{1}=R$ also holds.
For this case, we only prove that $\Phi x\nless x$
for all $x\in K$, $|x|_{1}=R$.
Otherwise, there exists $x \in K$ and $|x|_{1}=R$
such that $\Phi x<x$. Thus $x-\Phi x\in K/\{0\}$.
Then we have
\begin{equation} \label{e3.3}
x(t)-(\Phi x)(t)\geq\zeta|x-\Phi x|_{1}>0
\quad \text{for all }t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}.
\end{equation}
At the same time, for any
$t\in[0,\omega]_{\mathbb{T}}$, we have
\begin{align*}
 (\Phi x)(t)
&= \int_{t-\omega}^{t}\lambda G(t,s)
F(s)\Delta s+\sum_{k:t_k
\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}}\lambda G(t,t_k)
I_k(x(t_k))\\
&= \int_{t-\omega}^{t}\lambda G(t,s)
\big(
-\lambda^{-1}a(s)x^{\sigma}(s)+ c^{\Delta}(s)x(s-\tau(s)
+  c^{\sigma}(s)x^{\Delta}(s-\tau(s))\\
&\quad + f( s,x(s),x(s-\tau(s))\big)
\Delta s+\sum_{k:t_k\in[t-\omega,t]_{\mathbb{T}}}
\lambda G(t,t_k) I_k(x(t_k))\\
&\geq \lambda\gamma_{2}\eta_{2}
\omega\big(\lambda^{-1}a^{l}
\zeta |x|_{1}-c^{L}|x|_{1}-c^{M}|x|_{1}
+I^{l}\zeta^{2}|x|_{1}^{2}\big)\\
&\geq \lambda\gamma_{2}\eta_{2}
\omega(I^{l}\zeta^{2}R-c^{L}-c^{M})R
=R.
\end{align*}
 From \eqref{e3.3} and above inequality,
we obtain that
$|x|_{0}>|\Phi x|_{0}\geq R$,
which is a contradiction. Applying Lemma \ref{lem2.2},
we see that there is at least one nonzero fixed point in $K$.
Hence system \eqref{e1.2} has at least
one positive  $\omega$-periodic solution.
The proof  is complete.
\end{proof}

\section{An example}

When $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}$, consider the system:
\begin{equation} \label{e4.1}
\begin{gathered}
(x(t)+\lambda \frac{1}{4}x(t-\tau(t)))'
=-\lambda(t^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\sin^{2}x(t)
+\frac{1}{4}\cos^{2}x(t-1)),
\quad t\neq t_k,\quad t\in\mathbb{R},\\
x(t_k^{+})=x(t_k^{-})-\lambda x^{2}(t_k),
\quad k\in\mathbb{Z},
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
where
\[
\lambda<\min\big\{\frac{2}{10001\pi},\frac{4\pi
-2(e^{\frac{1}{10001}}-1)e^{\frac{1}{10001}}}
{10001\pi(2\pi+5(e^{\frac{1}{10001}}-1)e^{\frac{1}{10001}})},
\frac{20000e^{\frac{1}{10001}}-20002}
{10001(\pi e^{\frac{1}{10001}}+42)e^{\frac{1}{10001}}}\big\},
\]
$\omega=2\pi$, $p=10$, $L_{f}=1$, $I^{M}=20$.
Let $a(t)=-\frac{1}{20002\pi}$, so
$\gamma_{1}=\gamma_{2}=(e^{\frac{1}{10001}}-1)^{-1}$,
$\eta_{1}=e^{\frac{1}{10001}}$,
$\eta_{2}=1$, $\zeta=e^{-\frac{1}{10001}}$.
And it is easy to check that (H1)--(H6)
are satisfied. By Theorem \ref{thm3.1}, system \eqref{e4.1}
has at least one positive
 $\omega$-periodic solution.
