The authors are interested in establishing asymptotic relationships between the solutions of \[ \Delta x(n)= A(n,x(n))+ B(n,x(n)) \qquad \text{and} \qquad \Delta y(n)= A(n,y(n)), \] on the one hand, and between the solutions of \[ x(n+1)= C(n) x(n)+ D(n) x(n) \qquad \text{and} \qquad y(n+1)= C(n) y(n), \] on the other hand. Here \(x,y\) are \(k\)-dimensional vectors, \(C,D: N_0= \{n_0, n_0+1,\dots\}\to M^k\), where \(n_0\) is a fixed nonnegative integer and \(M^k\) is the space of \(k\times k\) matrices, \(A,B:N_0\times Q\to\mathbb{R}^k\) (\(Q\) a region of \(\mathbb{R}^k\)) are, for any \(n\in N_0\), continuous with respect to the second argument. The notions of asymptotic, \(q\)-asymptotic and \((p,q)\)-asymptotic equivalence are used.
