Abstract
We propose two candidates for discrete analogues to the nonlinear Ermakov-Pinney equation. The first one based on an association with a two-dimensional conformal mapping defines a second-degree difference scheme. It possesses the same features as in the continuum: a nonlinear superposition principle relating its general solution to a second-order linear difference equation and by direct linearisation a relationship with a third-order difference equation. The second form, which is new, is obtained from a slight improvement of the superposition principle. It has the advantage of leading to a first degree difference scheme and preserves all the nice properties of its linearisation. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
