Abstract

Systems of linear q-difference equations with polynomial coefficients are considered. Equations in the system may have arbitrary orders. For such systems, algorithms for searching polynomial, rational, and hypergeometric solutions, as well as solutions in the form of Laurent series, are suggested. Implementations of these algorithms are discussed.
