Based on a generalized linking theorem for the strongly indefinite functionals, we study the existence of homoclinic orbits of the second order self-adjoint discrete Hamiltonian system \begin{eqnarray} \triangle [p(n)\triangle u(n-1)]-L(n)u(n)+\nabla W(n, u(n))=0, \end{eqnarray} where $p(n), L(n)$ and $W(n, x)$ are $N$-periodic on $n$, and $0$ lies in a gap of the spectrum $\sigma(\mathcal{A})$ of the operator $\mathcal{A}$, which is bounded self-adjoint in $l^2(\mathbb{Z}, \mathbb{R}^{\mathcal{N}})$ defined by $(\mathcal{A}u)(n)=\triangle [p(n)\triangle u(n-1)]-L(n)u(n)$. Under weak superquadratic conditions, we establish the existence of homoclinic orbits.
Keywords: Discrete Hamiltonian system, homoclinic orbit, strongly indefinite functional., periodicity.
