The existence of solutions for a second-order discrete Neumann problem with a \(p\)-Laplacian (Q949263): Difference between revisions

Applying critical point theory to a functional, the authors give conditions for existence of multiple solutions for the second-order discrete boundary value problem with a \(p\)-Laplacian \[ \Delta(\Phi_p(\Delta y(k-1))) - r(k)\Phi_p(y(k)) + f(k, y(k)) = 0, \quad k =1,\dots,T, \] \[ \Delta y(0) = 0 = \Delta y(T), \] where \(T\) is a positive integer, \(\Delta y(k) = y(k+1) - y(k),\) \(p > 1, \;\Phi_p(y) = | y| ^{p-2}y\), \(r(k) > 0.\)
