By using the critical point method, some new criteria are obtained for the existence and multiplicity of homoclinic solutions to a 2nth-order nonlinear difference equation. The proof is based on the Mountain Pass Lemma in combination with periodic approximations. Our results extend and improve some known ones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
