Contents
Using the variational method and critical point theory, the authors study the existence of infinitely many homoclinic solutions to the difference equation \begin{equation*} -\Delta \big(a(k)\phi_p(\De u(k-1))\big)+b(k)\phi_p(u(k))=\lm f(k,u(k))),\quad k\in\Z, \end{equation*} where $p>1$ is a real number, $\phi_p(t)=|t|^{p-2}t$ for $t\in\R$, $\lm>0$ is a parameter, $a, b:\Z\to (0,\infty)$, and $f: \Z\times\R\to\R$ is continuous in the second variable. Related results in the literature are extended.
