Abstract: The current work studies difference problems including two different nabla operators coupled with general summation boundary conditions that depend on a parameter. After we deduce the Green’s function, we obtain an interval of the parameter, where it is strictly positive. Then, we establish a lower and upper bound of the related Green’s function and we impose suitable conditions of the nonlinear part, under which, using the classical Guo–Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem, we deduce the existence of at least one positive solution of the studied equation. After that, we impose more restricted conditions on the right-hand side and we obtain the existence of n positive solutions again using fixed point theory, which is the main novelty of this research. Finally, we give particular examples as an application of our theoretical findings.
