      The authors consider the discrete nonlinear difference equation \(\Delta^2x_{k-1} +f(x_k)=0\) together with a three point boundary condition \(x_0=0\), \(x_{n+1} = ax_\ell+b\). By means of Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem they prove results on (non-)existence and uniqueness of positive solutions. Finally they point out an application to a discrete model of heat conduction.
