On Sturm–Liouville boundary value problems for second-order nonlinear functional finite difference equations

Motivated by the interesting paper [I. Karaca, Discrete third-order three-point boundary value problem, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 205 (2007) 458–468], this paper is concerned with a class of boundary value problems for second-order functional difference equations. Sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one solution of a Sturm–Liouville boundary value problem for second-order nonlinear functional difference equations are established. We allow f to be at most linear, superlinear or sublinear in obtained results.
