Abstract: Using the Hӧlder inequality, we establish several Lyapunov-type inequalities for quasilinear q-difference equation and q-difference systems. Keywords: Lyapunov-type inequalities, q-difference equation, q-difference systems, Hӧlderinequality I.
Introduction
The Lyapunov inequality and many of its generalizations have proved to be useful tools in oscillation theory, disconjugacy, eigenvalue problems, and numerous other applications for the theories of differential and difference equations. The well-known inequality of Lyapunov[1]states that a necessary condition for the boundary value problem y '' q(t ) y 0, y(a) y(b) 0, to have nontrivial solutions is that b | g (t ) | dt 4 . a

There are several different proofs of this inequality since the original one by Lyapunov[1]. In the last few years independent works appeared generalizing Lyapunov’s inequality for the p-Laplacian, by usingHӧlder, Jensen or Cauchy-Schwarz inequalities. For the case of a single equation, see for example [2-9]. For systems there are a few results. In the paper, we consider boundary problem of the following quasilinear q-difference equation [10,11].
Dq (r (t ) | Dq (u (t )) | p 2 ( Dq (u (t ))) f (t ) | u (t ) | p 2 u (t ), t (0,1), 0 q 1. (1) u (0) u (1) 0, u (t ) 0, t (0,1). and boundary problem of quasilinearq-difference system

For the sake of convenience, we give the following hypothesis (H 1) and (H2) for (1) and hypothesis (H3) for (2): (H1) r (t ) and f (t ) are real-valued functions and r (t ) 0 for all t R . 1 p, p1 , satisfy
