Periodic solutions of second-order difference problem with potential indefinite in sign (Q370006): Difference between revisions

Summary: We investigate the periodic solutions of a second-order difference problem with potential indefinite in sign. We consider the compactness condition of a variational functional and local linking at 0 by introducing a new number \(\lambda_\ast\). By using Morse theory, we obtain some new results concerning the existence of a nontrivial periodic solution.
