We develop an approach to classical and quantum mechanics where continuous time is extended by an infinitesimal parameter T and equations of motion converted into difference equations. These equations are solved and the physical limit T  → 0 then taken. In principle, this strategy should recover all standard solutions to the original continuous time differential equations. We find this is valid for bosonic variables whereas with fermions, additional solutions occur. For both bosons and fermions, the difference equations of motion can be related to Möbius transformations in projective geometry. Quantization via Schwinger’s action principle recovers standard particle-antiparticle modes for bosons but in the case of fermions, Hilbert space has to be replaced by Krein space. We discuss possible links with the fermion doubling problem and with dark matter.

In recent papers, McLeish and others have obtained invariance principles for weak convergence of martingales to Brownian motion. We generalize these results to prove that solutions of discrete-time stochastic difference equations defined in terms of martingale differences converge weakly to continuous-time solutions of Ito stochastic differential equations. Our proof is based on a theorem of Stroock and Varadhan which characterizes the solution of a stochastic differential equation as the unique solution of an associated martingale problem. Applications to mathematical population genetics are discussed.

Herein, some classes of linear two-dimensional difference equations of Volterra type are considered. Representations of solutions using analogs of the resolvent and the Riemann matrix are obtained.
