This paper is concerned with the existence of unique and multiple solutions to the boundary value problem of a second-order difference equation with a parameter, which is a complement of the work by J. S. Yu and Z. M. Guo in 2006.

By establishing the corresponding variational framework and using the mountain pass theorem, linking theorem, and Clark theorem in critical point theory, we give the existence of multiple solutions for a fractional difference boundary value problem with parameter. Under some suitable assumptions, we obtain some results which ensure the existence of a well precise interval of parameter for which the problem admits multiple solutions. Some examples are presented to illustrate the main results.

This paper studies the existence of multiple solutions of the second-order difference boundary value problemΔ2u(n−1)+V′(u(n))=0,n∈ℤ(1,T),u(0)=0=u(T+1). By applying Morse theory, critical groups, and the mountain pass theorem, we prove that the previous equation has at least three nontrivial solutions when the problem is resonant at the eigenvalueλk  (k≥2)of linear difference problemΔ2u(n−1)+λu(n)=0,n∈ℤ(1,T),u(0)=0=u(T+1)near infinity and the trivial solution of the first equation is a local minimizer under some assumptions onV.
