Abstract
The study fuzzy difference equation becomes very important as huge numbers of real-life problems in the field of engineering; ecology social science, etc. can be mathematically represented in the form of difference equation where impreciseness is inherently involved. In this paper, we have focused on the solution techniques of non-homogeneous fuzzy linear difference equation with different cases involving fuzzy initial conditions, fuzzy forcing function and fuzzy coefficient. The idea of fuzzy equilibrium point is introduced and its stability analysis has been performed. The whole theoretical work is followed by real-life applications which show the impact of fuzzy concepts in mathematical modelling for better understanding the behaviour of the system in an elegant manner.
