The approximate symmetries of finite-difference equations are defined by analogy with the theory of symmetries of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). For ODEs \[ F(x,y,y',\dots, y^{(n)})= 0 \] the infinitesimal operator \(X\) after his prolongation under certain conditions is admitted. This operator and the conditions are naturally extended to the finite-difference case. The prolongation formulae for the finite-difference equations allow to establish some important group properties of the finite-difference approximations in terms of the group properties of their differential approximations. The system of determining equations coincides with the one which results from the small variations of \(F=0\).
