Abstract

In this paper, by using critical point theory in combination with periodic approximations, we obtain some new sufficient conditions on the nonexistence and existence of homoclinic solutions for a class of periodic difference equations. Unlike the existing literatures that always assume that the nonlinear terms are only either superlinear or asymptotically linear at , but superlinear at 0, our nonlinear term can mix superlinear nonlinearities with asymptotically linear ones at both and 0. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time to consider the homoclinic solutions of this class of difference equations with mixed nonlinearities. Our results are necessary in some sense, and extend and improve some existing ones even for some special cases. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
