Liouvillian Solutions of Difference-Differential Equations

Abstract

For a field kwith an automorphism σ and a derivation δ, we introduce the notion of liouvillian solutions of linear difference-differential systems σ(Y) = AY, δ(Y) = BY over k and characterize the existence of liouvillian solutions in terms of the Galois group of the systems. We will give an algorithm to decide whether such a system has liouvillian solutions when k = C(x,t), σ(x) = x+1, δ = d/dt and the size of the system is a prime.
