Abstract: A necessary and sufficient condition ("nonresonance") is established for every solution of an autonomous linear difference equation, or more generally for every sequence $(x^{o}p{A}^{n}y)$ with $x,yinmathbb{R}^d$ and $Ainmathbb{R}^{dimesd}$, to be either trivial or else conform to a strong form of Benford's Law (logarithmic distribution of significands). This condition contains all pertinent results in the literature as special cases. Its number-theoretical implications are discussed in the context of specific examples, and so are its possible extensions and modifications.
