J. Yang B. Shi and D. C. Zhang Received 18 March 2007 Accepted 23 May 2007 Recommended by Raul Manasevich The existence of positive solutions for boundary value problems of nonlinear functional difference equations with p-Laplacian operator is investigated. Sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of at least one positive solution and two positive solutions. Copyright 2007 S. J. Yang et al.
