Abstract
The author studies the boundary value problems with p-Laplacian functional difference equation Δφ p (Δx(t)) + r(t)f(x t ) = 0, t ∈ [0, N], x0 = ψ ∈ C+, x(0) - B0(Δx(0)) = 0, Δx(N+1) = 0. By using a fixed point theorem in cones, sufficient conditions are established for the existence of twin positive solutions.
