In this paper, we consider properties of the spectrum of a Sturm-Liouville<br />operator on time scales. We will prove that the regular symmetric<br />Sturm-Liouville operator is semi-bounded from below. We will also give some<br />conditions for the self-adjoint operator associated with the singular<br />Sturm-Liouville expression to have a discrete spectrum. Finally, we will<br />investigate the continuous spectrum of this operator.
