Periodic and subharmonic solutions for fourth-order p-Laplacian difference equations

Xia Liu, Yuanbiao Zhang, Haiping Shi

Abstract:
Using critical point theory, we obtain criteria for the existence and multiplicity of periodic and subharmonic solutions to fourth-order p-Laplacian difference equations. The proof is based on the Linking Theorem in combination with variational technique. Recent results in the literature are generalized and improved.
