Abstract The aim of this paper is to consider the ∇-stochastic dynamic equation on time
scales. We give a condition for the existence and uniqueness of solutions, study Markovian
property of the solutions concerning its time-dependent generator. This work can be consid-
ered as a unification and a generalization of similar results in random difference equation
and stochastic differential one.

1 Introduction
The theory of stochastic integration, introduced by K. Itô in 1944, has drawn a lot attention
in literature. Kunita and Wantanabe in 1967 [10] proposed a generalization of what is now
called Itô’s integral. After these results, making use of P.A. Meyer’s decomposition theorem
for supermartingale, one expanded this theory to the stochastic integration for locally square
integrable martingale and studied the stochastic dynamic equations.
Besides, stochastic difference equations might define simplest dynamical systems, but
they play an important role in the investigation of a stochastic dynamical system. The differ-
ence equations arise naturally when we want to study the evolution of biological population
or economic models on a fixed period of time. They can also be illustrated as discretization
of stochastic differential equations in computing process.
