    The authors use variational methods to study the existence of nontrivial homoclinic orbits for a nonlinear difference equation. Such solutions were first discovered by Poincaré in 1899. They are also called doubly asymptotic solutions. The proof of the main result in this paper is based on the mountain pass theorem.
