Positive periodic solutions for nonlinear difference equations with periodic coefficients. (English)
[J] J. Math. Anal. Appl. 232, No.1, 166-182 (1999). ISSN 0022-247X

The authors consider the following boundary value problem $$-\Delta [p(n-1)\Delta y(n-1)]+q(n) y(n)=f(n,y(n)), \quad n=1,2,\dots,N,$$ $$y(0)=y(N),\qquad p(0)\Delta y(0)=p(N)\Delta y(N).$$ Using a fixed point theorem in cones, existence of one as well as two solutions is established for the boundary value problem. The authors also consider the boundary value problem with a parameter. Finally, existence of positive periodic solutions on the whole discrete axis is established when the coefficients of the boundary value problem are periodic.
