Abstract

This paper is concerned with the existence of positive solutions of second-order impulsive boundary value problem with integral boundary conditions on time scales. Existence results of at least three positive solutions are established via a new fixed point theorem in a cone. Also, an example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of our result.
