Abstract

Using fixed point theorems in cones, we establish some sufficient conditions for the existence of at least single and multiple positive solutions of the boundary value problems for a p-Laplacian functional dynamic equation on time scales. Our results generalize and extend some earlier results in the literature. As application, two examples are also given to illustrate the results.
