A note on a three-point partial difference equation with variable coefficients

The explicit solution of four-point linear partial difference equations, provided with variable coefficients and with boundary conditions including the independent variables, was found in a previous note. In addition, the note explained the procedure to be used in case of boundary conditions also including the dependent variables. The aim of this note is to determine the explicit solution of a three-point equation of the above-mentioned second type, encountered in the study of differential difference equations with the method of the steps.
