Several existence theorems of nonlinear m-point boundary value problem for p-Laplacian dynamic equations on time scales ✩

In this paper, several existence theorems of positive solutions are established for nonlinear m-point boundary value problem for p-Laplacian dynamic equations on time scales, as an application, an example to demonstrate our results is given. The conditions we used in the paper are different from those in [H.R. Sun, W.T. Li, Positive solutions for nonlinear three-point boundary value problems on time scales, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 299 (2004) 508–524; H.R. Sun, W.T. Li, Positive solutions for nonlinear m-point boundary value problems on time scales, Acta Math. Sinica 49 (2006) 369–380 (in Chinese); Y. Wang, C.
