Abstract
The solution of linear differential equations under given boundary and initial conditions has been greatly expedited in recent years by the use of the method of integral transforms. It is the purpose of this note to show that an entirely parallel method may be developed for the solution of linear difference equations and that this leads to a new view of the generating function of a sequence as a transform of the sequence, analogous to the Laplace transform of a function.Keywords
