Abstract
We consider -difference Riccati equations and second-order linear -difference equations in the complex plane. We present some basic properties, such as the transformations between these two equations, the representations and the value distribution of meromorphic solutions of -difference Riccati equations, and the -Casorati determinant of meromorphic solutions of second-order linear -difference equations. In particular, we find that the meromorphic solutions of these two equations are concerned with the -Gamma function when such that . Some examples are also listed to illustrate our results.
