The authors obtain some existence criteria for positive solutions of a higher order semipositone multi-point boundary value problem on a time scale. Applications to some special problems are also discussed. This work extends and complements many results in the literature on this topic.

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper, we are concerned with the following 2nth-order differential equations on time scales
are continuous, or g is singular at t = a and/or t = b. We obtain some properties and sharp estimates of the corresponding Green's function and investigate the existence of positive solutions of the semipositone problems for 2n-order differential equations by the use of the property of Green's function, variable transformation and the fixed point index theorem.

## Abstract In this paper, we consider the higher order neutral delay differential equation where __p__ : [0, β) β (0, β) is a continuous function, __r__ > 0 and __Ο__ > 0 are constants, and __n__ > 0 is an odd integer. A positive solution __x__(__t__) of Eq. (\*) is called a ClassβI solution if _
