Periodic and subharmonic solutions for a \(2n\)th-order difference equation involving \(p\)-Laplacian (Q391069): Difference between revisions

This paper is concerned with a \(2n\)th-order nonlinear difference equation involving the \(p\)-Laplacian. Some new sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence and multiplicity of periodic and subharmonic solutions to the equation by using critical point theory. The proof is based on the linking theorem in combination with variational techniques. The main results obtained in this paper generalize existing results in the literature.
