Self-Adjoint Boundary Value Problems on Time Scales and Symmetric Green's Functions

In this note, higher order self-adjoint differential expressions on time scales, and associated with them self-adjoint boundary conditions, are discussed. The symmetry peoperty of the corresponding Green's functions is emphasized.
