Hi
I am wondering whether MATLAB is able to solve DIFFERENCE (recursive) equations, not differential ones. For example, difference equations as those frequently encountered in Economics.
Is a there a proxy method to do it?
Thanks

Here is a function I have built to calculate it with added example. https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/56142-output-estimation-difference-equation

Let us solve this difference equation:
c(k+2)-1.3c(k+1)+0.4c(k)=r(k) % c(0)=0 and c(1)=0.
Where, c(k) represents the system output and r(k) the system input and both of them in discrete.
This example is solved by three MATLAB codes:
----------------
1-Solving the difference equation by obtaining the inverse z-transform of c(z) after substituting by the input at which you solve it and initial conditions:
delta=[1 zeros(1 , 5)]; num=[0 0 1]; den=conv([1 -1.3 0.4],[1 -1]);
c=filter(num , den , delta)
----------------------------
2- Solving the difference equation using filter function:
% c(k+2)-1.3c(k+1)+0.4c(k)=r(k) % c(0)=0 and c(1)=0.
num=[0 0 1]; den=[1 -1.3 0.4];
r=[1 ones(1,5)]; % input signal, in this case is unit step signal
c=filter(num , den , r)
---------
3-Solving the difference equation – at step input – using dstep function which used in case of zero initial condition:
k=0:5; num=[0 0 1]; den=[1 -1.3 0.4]; c=dstep(num,den, length(k))
---------------
When you run the three codes, you will find that all give the same results. Also, I solved this problem by hand and the results match that calculated by MATLAB. Let me know if you need it.

There is the filter() command. If you were looking for a symbolic solution, you might find something in the Symbolic Math Toolbox.

% Mr. Azzi Abdelmalek, I have some notes on your answer.
%x(n+2)-1.3x(n+1)+0.4x(n)=u(n) % x(0)=0 and x(1)=0.
num=[0 0 1]; den=[1 -1 0.25];
k=0:1:5; % discrete time
% According to unit step definition, u(n)=1 for n>=0 and zero otherwise
% but using the heaviside function - and n is discrete and integer -
% contradicts this definition
% because it equals 0.5 - and not one - at n=0.
% So, to use k in discrete - and integre, i.e. 0, 1 , 2, .. etc,
% heaviside is not the proper function and you have to define it like my
% answer
x=[1 ones(1,5)]; % This yields outputs from y(0) to y(5)
y=filter(num,den,x)
% Also, the solution of difference equation is in discrete, so, to plot it,
use stem function
stem(k,y), grid
