Extract

In a former paper the application of Boole's operators π and ρ to linear difference equations whose coefficients are rational functions was discussed. Reference should be made to this paper for the definitions of π and ρ and for Theorems I–V. In the present paper a more general type of equation is considered. Two new theorems are proved and used to obtain the formal solution and to establish the convergence.
