Review:

"Abundant praise for the First Edition. . . . . .a virtual encyclopedia of results concerning difference equations. . ..very well written and easy to read. . ..numerous interesting exercises. . .[that] do a very good job of both complementing and supplementing the material in the book. . . .a very good book to have in one's own personal library." ---Mathematical Reviews "This excellent monograph combines all aspects of the theory and methods of solutions of difference equations and their applications." ---Acta Scientifica Mathematica "The exhaustive compilation and analytic representation of the various mathematical problems are indeed useful. . . .essential for the enrichment of knowledge in mathematics, physics and statistics." ---Indian Journal of Physics
