By using the critical point theory we establish some existence criteria to guarantee that the nonlinear difference equation A p n Ax n - 1 fi - q n x nf S f n x n has at least one homoclinic solution where n e Z x n e R and f Z X R R is non periodic in n. Our conditions on the nonlinear term f n x n are rather relaxed and we generalize some existing results in the literature. 1. Introduction Consider the nonlinear difference equation of the form A p n Au n - 1 5j - q n x n 6 f n u n n e Z where A is the forward difference operator defined by Au n u n 1 - u n A2u n A Au n Ỗ 0 is the ratio of odd positive integers p n j and q n j are real sequences p n j 0. f Z X R R. As usual we say that a solution u n of is homoclinic to 0 if u n 0 as n x. In addition if u n f 0 then ufn is called a nontrivial homoclinic solution. Difference equations have attracted the interest of many researchers in the past twenty years since they provided a natural description of several discrete models. Such discrete models are often investigated in various fields of science and technology such as computer science economics neural network ecology cybernetics biological systems optimal control and population dynamics. These studies cover many of the
