From the reviews: "This is a great book, which will hopefully become a classic in the subject of differential Galois theory. [...] the specialist, as well as th

This book shows how Lie group and integrability techniques, originally developed for differential equations, have been adapted to the case of difference equatio

Differential Galois theory is an important, fast developing area which appears more and more in graduate courses since it mixes fundamental objects from many di
