Abstract

In this paper, we consider a second-order m-point impulsive boundary value problem on time scales. We establish the criteria for the existence of at least two positive solutions of a noneigenvalue problem. Later, we study the existence of at least one positive solution of an eigenvalue problem. We also give two examples to illustrate our results.
