Abstract
Let T be an integer with T≥3, and let T:={1,…,T}. We study the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the following two-point boundary
value problems of second-order difference systems:
Δ2u(t−1)+f(t,u(t))=e(t),t∈T, u(0)=u(T+1)=0, where e:T→ℝn and f:T×ℝn→ℝn is a potential function satisfying f(t,⋅)∈C1(ℝn) and some nonresonance conditions. The proof of the main result is based upon a mini-max theorem.
