Let X be an arbitrary Abelian group and E a Banach space. We consider the difference-operators ∆n defined by induction:
(∆f)(x;y) = f(x+y) - f(x), (∆nf)(x;y1,...,yn) = (∆n-1(∆f)(.;y1)) (x;y2,...,yn)
(n = 2,3,4,..., ∆1=∆, x,yi belonging to X, i = 1,2,...,n; f: X --> E).
Considering the difference equation (∆nf)(x;y1,y2,...,yn) = d(x;y1,y2,...,yn) with independent variable increments, the most general solution is given explicitly if d: X x Xn --> E is a given bounded function. Also the most general form of bounded functions in the range of ∆n is determined.
Another type of operator, designed by ∆2 n is defined by
(∆2f)(x;y) = f(x+2y) - 2f(x+y) + f(x),
(∆2 nf)(x;y1,...,yn) = (∆2 n-1(∆2f)(.;y1)) (x;y2,...,yn),
(n = 2,3,4,..., ∆2 1=∆2, x,yi belonging to X, i = 1,2,...,n) and under the same conditions as above the most general solution of the equation ∆2 nf = d is established.
