Existence of positive solutions for nonpositive difference equations (Q1376763): Difference between revisions

Under some assumptions, too complicated to be presented here, there exists at least one positive solution of the discrete boundary value problem \[ \Delta^nu(i)+ f(i,u(i),\Delta u(i),\dots, \Delta^{n-2}u(i))= 0,\quad i\in[0, T],\quad n\geq 2, \] \[ \Delta^mu(0)= 0,\quad 0\leq m\leq n-3;\quad \alpha\Delta^{n-2}u(0)- \beta\Delta^{n-1} u(0)= 0, \] \[ \gamma\Delta^{n-1} u(T+1)+ \delta\Delta^{n-1} u(T+ 1)= 0, \] where \(T\geq 1\) is a fixed positive integer.
