By using critical point theory Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction method and characterization of the Brouwer degree of critical points sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of five or six solutions together with their sign properties to discrete second-order two-point boundary value problem are obtained. An example is also given to demonstrate our main result. 1. Introduction Let N z and 1 denote the sets of all natural numbers integers and real numbers respectively. For a b e z define z a b a a 1 . b when a b. A is the forward difference operator defined by Au n ufn 1 - ufri A2u n A Au n . Consider the following discrete second-order two-point boundary value problem BVP for short A2u n- 1 V u n 0 n el 1 T u 0 0 u T 1 where V e C2 R R T 1 is a given integer. By a solution u to the BVP we mean a real sequence u n T 0 u 0 u 1 . u T 1 satisfying . For u u n T 0 with u 0 0 u T 1 we say that u f 0 if there exists at least one n el 1 T such that ufn 0. We say that u is positive and write u 0 if for all n el 1 T u n 0 and n el 1 T u nf 0 0 and similarly 2 Boundary Value Problems u is negative u 0 if for all n l 1
