Abstract

Let T be an integer with T3, 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(t1)+f(t,u(t))=e(t),tT, u(0)=u(T+1)=0, where e:Tn  and  f:T×nn is a potential function satisfying f(t,)C1(n) and some nonresonance conditions. The proof of the main result is based upon a mini-max theorem.
