Deskripsi

Let T>1 be an integer, and let𝕋=1,2,…,T. We discuss the spectrum of discrete linear second-order eigenvalue problems Ξ”2ut-1+Ξ»mtut=0, tβˆˆπ•‹,  u0=uT+1=0, where Ξ»β‰ 0 is a parameter, m:𝕋→ℝ changes sign and mtβ‰ 0 on 𝕋. At last, as an application of this spectrum result, we show the existence of sign-changing solutions of discrete nonlinear second-order problems by using bifurcate technique.
