Abstract

After introducing q-analogues of the Borel and Laplace transformations, we prove that to every formal power series solution of a linear q-difference equation with rational coefficients, we may apply several q-Borel and Laplace transformations of convenient orders and convenient direction in order to construct a solution of the same equation that is meromorphic on C\mathbb{C}^{*}. We use this theorem to construct explicitly an invertible matrix solution of a linear q-difference system with rational coefficients, of which entries are meromorphic on C\mathbb{C}^{*}. Moreover, when the system is put in the Birkhoff-Guenther normal form, we prove that the solutions we compute are exactly the same as the one constructed by Ramis, Sauloy and Zhang.
