ABSTRACT

This collection of carefully refereed and edited papers were originally presented at the Fourth International Conference on Difference Equations held in Poznan, Poland. Contributions were from a diverse group of researchers from several countries and featured discussions on the theory of difference equations, open problems and conjectures, as well
