We consider a 2$n$th-order nonlinear difference equation containing both many advances and retardations with $\phi_c$-Laplacian. Using the critical point theory, we obtain some new and concrete criteria for the existence and multiplicity of periodic and subharmonic solutions in the more general case of the nonlinearity.

Keywords: Periodic and subharmonic solution, 2$n$th-order, nonlinear difference equation, $\phi_c$-Laplacian, critical point theory.
