摘要
In this paper, We study the existence of solution of the nonlinear second-order difference problem with Neumann boundary conditions. Assuming the existence of a pair of ordered lower and upper solutions gamma and beta, we obtain optimal existence results for the case gamma less than or equal to beta and even for gamma greater than or equal to beta. To this end, we do an exhaustive study of the values of the real parameters alpha and mu, for which the associated Green's function to the linear operator L[alpha, mu]u(k) equivalent to u(k+2) - 2 alpha u(k+1) + mu uk with Neumann boundary conditions has fixed sign.
