Multiple positive solutions of singular and nonsingular discrete problems via variational methods (Q1877860): Difference between revisions

The authors use the critical point theory to obtain the existence of multiple positive solutions of the discrete boundary value problem \[ \Delta ^{2}y(k-1)+f(k,y(k))=0,\;k\in \{1,...,T\},\quad y(0)=0=y(T+1), \] where \(T\) is a positive integer, \(\Delta y(k)=y(k+1)-y(k)\) is the forward difference operator and \(f\in C(\{1,...,T\}\times [ 0,\infty );\mathbb{R}) \) is a given function with some specific properties.
