摘要
We adopt a procedure for determining the continuous (Lie) symmetries for third-order difference equations and utilize these to reduce the order of the equations - this reduction leads to some solutions of the equations under investigation. We further investigate the existence of first integrals of the third order equations using a, now, established, procedure.
