Abstract.In this paper, existence criteria of three positive solutions to the following nonlinear first-order boundary value problem on time scales

\begin{displaymath}
\left\{
\begin{array}{l}
x^{\bigtriangleup }(t)=f(x(\sigm...
...T}}, \\ [8pt]
x(0)=\eta x(\sigma (T)),
\end{array}
\right.
\end{displaymath}

are established by using the fixed-point theorem due to Ren et al [18]. An example is also given to illustrate the main result.
