EXISTENCE OF POSITIVE SOLUTIONS OF PBVPs FOR FIRST-ORDER DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS YINGGAO ZHOU Received 5 January 2006; Accepted 13 March 2006 We consider the existence of positive solutions for the following first-order periodic boundary value problem: x (n + 1) = x (n) −f (n,x (n)), 0 ≤ n ≤ ω − 1, x (0) = x (ω). Some criteria for existence of positive solutions of the above difference boundary problem are ˘ established by using Krasnosel’skiı’s fixed point theorem, and some multiplicity results of positive solutions are also derived.
