This paper is devoted to study the existence and uniqueness of solutions to nonlinear difference A-Laplacian boundary value problems with mixed and Dirichlet boundary conditions. Keywords: fixed points words. Laplacian problems. Introduction The study of nonlinear difference second order boundary value problems has been developed recently in many papers. The first order difference equation with nonlinear functional boundary conditions is considered in . where as the nth order difference equations are studied in . The existence and uniqueness of solutions for some nonlinear boundary value problems are given . Some of these results for second order difference equations have been generalized in . for A-Laplacian problems. The existence and uniqueness of solutions to difference A-Laplacian problems along with comparison results are given by A. Cabada and V. Espinar in . In this paper we study the existence and uniqueness of solution for the equation AE(A(AEu. )) = f. ,u. ) . with different boundary conditions. The results in this paper are generalizations of the results obtained in . The corollaries in this paper are nothing but some of the theorems proved in . The technique of fixed point theory of contraction mapping is utilized in this work to prove existence and uniqueness of solution of solution of Eq.

Existence and Uniqueness Results This section is devoted to the existence and uniqueness of solutions to difference A-Laplacian boundary value problem AE(A(AEu. )) = f. ,u. ) with different boundary conditions. Theorems 2. 1, 2. 2, and 2. 3 in this paper are the generalizations of the Theorems 2. 1, 2. 2, and 2. 3 in . Theorem 2. Assume (H. and (H. If L Ea EE 0 . E then the problem HN ( N A .

We verify that u: J C EC given by u . ) A N 1 A Eu A A1 ( v ( s )) sAk is a solution of problem (PM. provided vEaB is a fixed point of T and uniqueness of the solution follows from the existence of unique fixed point of T. From Eq. 3 and by summation convention, it is obvious that u(N . = N1. Now. AEu . ) A A Eu A A1 s A k A1 ( v ( s )) A Eu A A1 ( v ( s )) sAk ( v ( k )) Au A ( AE u ( k )) A v ( k ). Since v is a fixed point of T, k A1 s A l A1 A ( AE u ( k )) A A ( N 0 ) A Eu f E l . N 1 A Eu A lA0 ( v ( s )) E. It follows that E AE (A ( AE u ( k )) A f E k . N 1 A Eu A ( v ( s )) E s A k A1 A f ( k , u ( k A . From Eq. 4 it follows that A(AEu. ) = A(N. and injectivity of A implies AEu. = N0. Now we prove that T has a unique fixed point in B. For v1,v2EaB and using conditions (H. , (H. we have k A1 Tv 1 ( k ) A Tv 2 ( k ) C Eu f E l . N 1 A Eu A ( v 1 ( s )) E A f E l .

Similar to Theorem 2. 1 it can be verified that u : J C EC given by N A1 u . ) A N 0 A Eu A A1 ( v ( s )) . sA0 is a desired unique solution of B. (PM. if and only if vEaB is a unique fixed point of T. Using these theorems following corollaries can be obtained which are the Theorems 2. 1 and 2. 2 in . Corollary 2. Assume condition (H.

A N 1 has a unique solution uEaB for each AEaB and all N0,N1EaEC. Proof. If we put f. =Mu-A. the above problem reduces to problem (PM. Moreover for u, vEaB, f . , u ) A f . , . A A M u A v . Therefore f is a Lipschitz function with L = - M. Since M Ea A HN (AN2 A . , 0 A . L Ea 0 . HN . N A 1 ) so the conclusion follows from Theorem 2. Corollary 2. Assume condition (H. and (H.

Define a mapping T:BCB by E Tv ( k ) A C v A Eu f E l . N 0 A Eu A ( v ( s )) E , lAk where Cv is solution of N1 A N 0 A Eu A k A0 E v Eu Eu A ( v ( s )) E E. Bondar, et al. Since A-1 is one-one, onto and continuous form EC to itself, for given vEaB there exists unique CvEaEC satisfying Eq. We verify that u:JCEC given by k A1 u . ) A N 0 A Eu A A1 ( v ( s )) . sA0 is a desired unique solution of B. (PM. if and only if vEaB is a unique fixed point of T. From . it is obvious that u. =N0.

Au Tv 1 ( k ) A Tv 2 ( k ) C LH v 1 A v 2 A k A k 0 A. Similarly we deduce that Au Tv 2 ( k ) A Tv 1 ( k ) C LH v 1 A v 2 A k A k 1 A. Hence from Eq. 10 and Eq. 11 we conclude that, for all kEaP Tv 1 ( k ) A Tv 2 ( k ) C LH v 1 A v 2 max A k A k 0 , k A k 1 A C LH v 1 A v 2 max Ak . N A k A. As a consequence, we obtain Tv 1 A Tv 2 C LH N ( N A . v1 A v 2 . This shows that T is a contraction and hence result holds. Bondar, et al. Remark. Similar to Corollaries 2. 1 and 2. 2, we can obtain a result which is Theorem 2. 3 in . , that the equation A AE (A ( AE u ( k )) A Mu ( k A . A A ( k ) .
