The authors study the Cauchy problem for a linear homogeneous difference equation. Explicit and exact solutions of this problem are constructed. To reach this goal the authors use the following subresults. The first one is the choice of the fundamental set of solutions used. The second one is the expression in the closed form the first row of the product of an arbitrary number of the noncommutating matrices. This approach is exploited to solve the eigenvalue problem of a special set of non-Hermitian operators. A new class of generalized even and odd coherent states of a quantum harmonic oscillator are defined.
