Studiying dynamical systems, I found in most textbooks proof's of the existence and uniqueness theorems for differential equations, however, I was not able to find an analogous theorem for difference equations. Could someone state the theorem briefly or point me to proper sources?
PS: I'm trained in economics, so I would appreciate if the source was not to technical or heavy on the mathemathics. I have a background on calculus, matrix algebra, some elementary concepts of topology (closed/open, convex, compact sets, etc) but not much else.
