This paper is taken up for the following difference equation problem (P
e);

where e is a small parameter, c
1, c
2,α,β constants and a(
kε),b(
kε),ƒ(
kε)(1≤
k≤N) functions of
k and ε. Firstly, the case with constant coefficients is considered. Secondly, a general method based on extended transformation is given to handle (P
a) where the coefficients may be variable and uniform asymptotic expansions are obtained. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the proposed method.
