Abstract: A boundary value problem associated to the difference equation with advanced argument �egin{equation} label{*}Delta�igl (a_{n}Phi(Delta x_{n})�igr)+b_{n}Phi(x_{n+p} )=0, ngeq1 ag{$\ast$} end{equation} is presented, where $Phi(u)=|u{|}^{alpha}$sgn $u,$ $alpha>0,p$ is a positive integer and the sequences $a,b,$ are positive. We deal with a particular type of decaying solutions of ( ef{*}), that is the so-called intermediate solutions (see below for the definition) . In particular, we prove the existence of these type of solutions for ( ef{*}) by reducing it to a suitable boundary value problem associated to a difference equation without deviating argument. Our approach is based on a fixed point result for difference equations, which originates from existing ones stated in the continuous case. Some examples and suggestions for future researches complete the paper.
