Abstract

In this paper, we deal with the existence of at least one and of at least two positive solutions as well the uniqueness of a positive solution for an anisotropic discrete non-linear problem involving p(k)-Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary value conditions. The technical approach for the existence part is based on a local minimum theorem and on a two critical points theorem for differentiable functionals, and for uniqueness part is based on a Lipschitzian continuous condition on the nonlinearity term.
