In this paper we consider the following
n-dimensional second-order nonlinear system on time scales
with the Sturm–Liouville boundary conditions
where
u=(u1,…,un),
=diag[
1,…,
n],
β=diag[β1,…,βn], γ=diag[γ1,…,γn], δ=diag[δ1,…,δn]. Let

. Define
i0= number of zeros in the set
{f0,f∞} and
i∞= number of infinities in the set
{f0,f∞}. By using fixed point index theory, we show that:
- (i) if i0=1 or 2, then there exist λ0>0 such that the system has i0 positive solution(s) for λ>λ0;
