Difference Equations and Lettenmeyer's Theorem

Many classical results for ordinary differential equations have counterparts in the theory of difference equations, although, in general, the technical details for the difference versions are more involved than the corresponding ones for differential equations. This note surveys material related to a difference analogue of Lettenmeyer's theorem. The projection method of Harris et al. , developed to treat certain questions in the analytic theory of ordinary differential equations is used to obtain counterparts for linear difference equations as well as extensions to certain nonlinear differential and difference equations.
