Using the variational method and critical point theory, the authors study the existence of infinitely many homoclinic solutions to the difference equation \begin{equation*} -\Delta \big(a(k)\phi_p(\Delta u(k-1))\big)+b(k)\phi_p(u(k))=\lambda f(k,u(k))),\quad k\in\mathbb{Z}, \end{equation*} where $p>1$ is a real number, $\phi_p(t)=|t|^{p-2}t$ for $t\in\mathbb{R}$, $\lambda>0$ is a parameter, $a, b:\mathbb{Z}\to (0,\infty)$, and $f: \mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is continuous in the second variable. Related results in the literature are extended.
Keywords: homoclinic solutions, Diff erence equations, infi nitely many homoclinic solutions, variational method..
