Abstract (provisional)

In this paper, we make use of the four functionals fixed point theorem to verify the existence of at least one symmetric positive solution of a second order m-point boundary value problem on time scales such that the considered equation admits a nonlinear term f whose sign is allowed to change. The discussed problem involves both an increasing homeomorphism and homomorphism, which generalizes the p-Laplacian operator. An example which supports our theoretical results is also indicated.
