| Description | We investigate the relationship between oscillatory properties of half-linear even order difference equations and nonpositivity of the associated energy functionals. We convert the investigated difference equation into a Hamiltonian type difference system and using this transformation we establish our main result which says that the existence of two (or more) generalized zeros of a solution of the investigated difference equation implies that the corresponding energy functional attains a nonpositive value. |
