Summary: Let \(\mathbb T\) be a periodic time scale. The purpose of this paper is to use a modification of Krasnosel’skii’s fixed point theorem due to T. A. Burton to show that the totally nonlinear dynamic equation with functional delay
\[ x^\Delta(t)=-a(t)x^3(\sigma(t))+G(t,x^3(t), x^3(t-r(t))),\quad t\in\mathbb T, \]
has a periodic solution. We invert this equation to construct a sum of a compact map and a large contraction, which is suitable for applying the Burton-Krasnosel’skii theorem. Finally, an example is given to illustrate our result.
