Nonexistence of homoclinic solutions for a class of discrete Hamiltonian systems (Q369915)

Summary: We give several sufficient conditions under which the first-order nonlinear discrete Hamiltonian system \(\Delta x(n) = \alpha(n)x(n + 1) + \beta(n)|y(n)|^{\mu - 2}y(n)\), \(\Delta y(n) = -\gamma(n)|x(n + 1)|^{\nu - 2}x(n + 1) - \alpha(n)y(n)\) has no solution \((x(n), y(n))\) satisfying the condition \(0 < \sum^{+\infty}_{n=-\infty}[|x(n)|^\nu + (1 + \beta(n))|y(n)|^\mu] < +\infty\), where \(\mu, \nu > 1\) and \(1/\mu + 1/\nu = 1\) and \(\alpha(n)\), \(\beta(n)\) and \(\gamma(n)\) are real-valued functions defined on \(\mathbb Z\).
