Consider the second order self-adjoint discrete Hamiltonian system
$\triangle [p(n)\triangle u(n-1)]-L(n)u(n)+\nabla W(n, u(n)) = 0, $
where
$p(n), L(n)$
 and
$W(n, x)$
 are
$N$
-periodic on
$n$
, and
zhongwenzy$
lies in a gap of the spectrum
$σ(\mathcal{A})$
of the operator
$\mathcal{A}$
, which is bounded self-adjoint in
$l^2(\mathbb{Z}, \mathbb{R}^{\mathcal{N}})$
 defined by
$(\mathcal{A}u)(n) = \triangle [p(n)\triangle u(n-1)]-L(n)u(n)$
. We obtain a sufficient condition on the existence of nontrivial homoclinic orbits for the above system under a much weaker condition than
$\lim_{|x|\to ∞}\frac{W(n, x)}{|x|^2} = ∞$
 uniformly in
$ n∈ \mathbb{Z}$
, which has been a common condition used in the existing literature. We also give three examples to illustrate our result.
Keywords: Discrete Hamiltonian system, homoclinic orbit, strongly indefinite functional, local super-quadratic condition.
