应用临界点理论,主要研究一阶超线性时滞差分方程au(n)=-f(u(n—T))的非平凡周期解的存在性与多重性,其中u∈R,f∈C(R,R),T为给定的正整数.当f(u)在零点与无穷远点处满足超线性增长条件时,得到了上述方程以4T+2为周期的非平凡周期解存在性与多解性的若干充分条件.
By using critical point theory, the existence and multiplicity of nontrivial periodic solutions are investigated for first order superlinear delay difference equation △u(n) = -f( u(n - T) ), where u ∈ R, f∈ C( R, R ) and T is a given positive integer. Some sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence and multiplicity of periodic solutions with period 4 T + 2, when f(u) grows superlinearly both at zero and at infinity.
