Partial difference equations have received more and more attention in recent years due to their extensive applications in diverse areas. In this paper, we consider a Dirichlet boundary value problem of the partial difference equation involving the mean curvature operator. By applying critical point theory, the existence of at least three solutions is obtained. Furthermore, under some appropriate assumptions on the nonlinearity, we respectively show that this problem admits at least two or three positive solutions by means of a strong maximum principle. Finally, we present two concrete examples and combine with images to illustrate our main results.

In this paper, we consider the existence of infinitely many large constant-sign solutions for a discrete Dirichlet boundary value problem involving p -mean curvature operator. The methods are based on the critical point theory and truncation techniques. Our results are obtained by requiring appropriate oscillating behaviors of the non-linear term at infinity, without any symmetry assumptions.

In this paper, based on critical point theory, we mainly focus on the multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for a nonlinear discrete Dirichlet boundary value problem involving the mean curvature operator. Without imposing the symmetry or oscillating behavior at infinity on the nonlinear term f, we respectively obtain the sufficient conditions for the existence of at least three non-trivial solutions and the existence of at least two non-trivial solutions under different assumptions on f. In addition, by using the maximum principle, we also deduce the existence of at least three positive solutions from our conclusion. As far as we know, our results are supplements to some well-known ones.

Abstract In this paper, by using critical point theory, we obtain some sufficient conditions on the existence of infinitely many positive solutions of the discrete Dirichlet problem involving the mean curvature operator. We show that the suitable oscillating behavior of the nonlinear term near at the origin and at infinity will lead to the existence of a sequence of pairwise distinct nontrivial positive solutions. We also give two examples to illustrate our main results.

AbstractIn this paper, we use the critical point theory for convex, lower semicontinuous perturbations of{C^{1}}-functionals to obtain the existence of multiple nontrivial solutions for one parameter potential systems involving the operator{u\mapsto\operatorname{div}(\frac{\nabla u}{\sqrt{1-|\nabla u|^{2}}})}. The solvability of a general non-potential system is also established.

Abstract Apartial discrete Dirichlet boundary value problem involving mean curvature operator is concerned in this paper. Under proper assumptions on the nonlinear term, we obtain some feasible conditions on the existence of multiple solutions by the method of critical point theory. We further separately determine open intervals of the parameter to attain at least two positive solutions and an unbounded sequence of positive solutions with the help of the maximum principle.

AbstractBy employing critical point theory, we investigate the existence of solutions to a boundary value problem for a p-Laplacian partial difference equation depending on a real parameter. To be specific, we give precise estimates of the parameter to guarantee that the considered problem possesses at least three solutions. Furthermore, based on a strong maximum principle, we show that two of the obtained solutions are positive under some suitable assumptions of the nonlinearity.

Abstract We show that the spectrum of the relativistic mean curvature operator on a bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝ N (N ⩾ 1) having smooth boundary, subject to the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition, is exactly the interval (λ1(2), ∞), where λ1(2) stands for the principal frequency of the Laplace operator in Ω.

Due to the applications in many fields, there is great interest in studying partial difference equations involving functions with two or more discrete variables. In this paper, we deal with the existence of infinitely many solutions for a partial discrete Dirichlet boundary value problem with the p-Laplacian by using critical point theory. Moreover, under appropriate assumptions on the nonlinear term, we determine open intervals of the parameter such that at least two positive solutions and an unbounded sequence of positive solutions are obtained by using the maximum principle. We also show two examples to illustrate our results.
