Existence of infinitely many homoclinic orbits in discrete Hamiltonian systems

AbstractBy using the Symmetric Mountain Pass Theorem, we establish some existence criteria to guarantee the second-order self-adjoint discrete Hamiltonian system Δ[p(n)Δu(n−1)]−L(n)u(n)+∇W(n,u(n))=0 has infinitely many homoclinic orbits, where n∈Z, u∈RN, p,L:Z→RN×N and W:Z×RN→R are no periodic in n. Our conditions on the potential W(n,x) are rather relaxed
