摘要:In the present paper, we deal with the existence and multiplicity of homoclinic solutions of the second-order self-adjoint discrete Hamiltonian system △ [ p ( n ) △ u ( n − 1 ) ] − L ( n ) u ( n ) + ∇ W ( n , u ( n ) ) = 0 . Under the assumption that W ( n , x ) is of indefinite sign and subquadratic as x → + ∞ and p ( n ) and L ( n ) are N × N real symmetric positive definite matrices for all n ∈ Z , and that lim inf n → + ∞ [ n ν − 2 inf x = 1 ( L ( n ) x , x ) ] > 0 for some constant ν < 2 , we establish some existence criteria to guarantee that the above system has at least one or multiple homoclinic solutions by using Clark’s theorem in critical point theory.
