Abstract: We obtain a sufficient condition for the existence of a positive solution for a second-order singular semipositone dynamic boundary value problem by constructing a special cone. As a special case when 𝕋 = ℝ, this result includes those of Liu (2007). This result is new in a general time scale setting. One example is given at the end of this paper to demonstrate the result.

Keywords: second-order boundary value problem; singular boundary value problems; semipositone boundary value problems; dynamic boundary value problems; cones; time scales; delta derivatives; nabla derivatives.
