On meromorphic equivalence of linear difference operators
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 40 (1990) no. 3, pp. 683-699.

We consider linear difference equations whose coefficients are meromorphic at ∞. We characterize the meromorphic equivalence classes of such equations by means of a system of meromorphic invariants. Using an approach inspired by the work of G. D. Birkhoff we show that this system is free.

On étudie des équations linéaires aux différences finies à coefficients méromorphes à l’infini. On caractérise les classes d’équivalence méromorphes de telles équations par un système d’invariants méromorphes. On démontre la liberté de ce systèmes en utilisant une méthode inspirée des travaux de G.D. Birkhoff.
