Existence theorems of periodic solutions for fourth-order nonlinear functional difference equations (Q2511345)

This paper is concerned with the following fourth-order nonlinear functional difference equation: \[ \triangle^2(p_{n-2}\triangle^2u_{n-2})-\triangle(q_{n-1}\triangle u_{n-1})=f(n,u_{n+1},u_n,u_{n-1}),\;n\in \mathbb{Z}. \] By using variational techniques and the saddle point theorem, the existence of periodic solutions for the above fourth-order nonlinear functional difference equations is obtained.
