Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0722.00014.] In this expository paper, the author develops the elementary theory and solution procedures for linear difference equations with constant coefficients. Assuming the reader's familiarity with the corresponding material from a first course in ordinary differential equations, he points out similarities and differences in the two situations. For example, the Casorati determinant plays the role for \(\omega\)- independence (in which the coefficients are periodic functions) which is played by the Wronskian for linear independence of solutions of linear differential equations, and the \(z\)-transformation replaces the Laplace transformation. The paper concludes with a discussion of recurrence relations in finite fields.
