Abstract

We study the existence of solutions of nonlinear discrete boundary value problems Δ2u(t−1)+μ1u(t)+g(t,u(t))=h(t), t∈T, u(a)=u(b+2)=0, where T:={a+1,…,b+1},h:T→ℝ,μ1 is the first eigenvalue of the linear problem Δ2u(t−1)+μu(t)=0, t∈T, u(a)=u(b+2)=0, g:T×ℝ→ℝ satisfies some “asymptotic nonuniform” resonance conditions, and g(t,u)u≥0 for u∈ℝ.
