Abstract
We study solutions in integers of an implicit linear inhomogeneous first order difference equation bxn+1 = axn + fn. Based on the p-adic topology on the ring of integers, we obtain a criterion for the existence of solutions and show that for a = 1 a typical (in the natural topological sense) equation has no integer solutions.
