Abstract

We study the discrete fourth order periodic boundary value problem with a parameter <4u(t 2) < p(t 1)<u(t 1) + q(t)u(t) = f(t, u(t)), t [1,N]Z, iu(1) = <iu(N 1), i = 0, 1, 2, 3. By using variational methods and the mountain pass lemma, sufficient conditions are found under which the above problem has at least two nontrivial solutions. One example is included to illustrate the result.
