Abstract: We discuss a general method by which a higher order difference equation on a group is transformed into an equivalent triangular system of two difference equations of lower orders. This breakdown into lower order equations is based on the existence of a semiconjugate relation between the unfolding map of the difference equation and a lower dimensional mapping that unfolds a lower order difference equation. Substantial classes of difference equations are shown to possess this property and for these types of equations reductions of order are obtained. In some cases a complete semiconjugate factorization into a triangular system of first order equations is possible.
