Sur les fonctions entières à double pas récurrent. (Entire functions with double recurrent step.) (Q1288651)

\textit{J.-P. Bézivin} and \textit{F. Gramain} [Ann. Inst. Fourier 46, No. 2, 465-491 (1996; Zbl 0853.39001)] have proved that, if \(f\) is an entire function solution of the system of difference equations \[ \sum_{m=0}^M P_m(z) f(z+m\alpha)= 0,\qquad \sum_{n=0}^N Q_n(z) f(z+n\beta)=0, \tag{\(*\)} \] where \((P_m)\) and \((Q_n)\) are finite sequences of \(\mathbb{C}[z]\), \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are complex numbers, then \(f\) is a quotient of an exponential polynomial and a polynomial. In this paper the previous result is extended to the case when coefficients in \((*)\) are constants and \(\alpha/ \beta\) belongs to \(\mathbb{R}\setminus\mathbb{Q}\) and also for the case of functions from \(C^\infty (\mathbb{R})\). In the last part of the paper an algorithm for finding the entire solutions of \((*)\) is given.
