On the existence of homoclinic solutions of a class of discrete nonlinear periodic systems

Abstract In this paper, we obtain a new sufficient condition on the existence of homoclinic solutions of a class of discrete nonlinear periodic systems by using critical point theory in combination with periodic approximations. We prove that it is also necessary in some special cases.
