Abstract. We discuss the algorithms which, given a linear difference
equation with rational function coefficients over a field k of characteristic
0, compute a polynomial U(x) k[x] (a universal denominator) such
that the denominator of each of rational solutions (if exist) of the given
equation divides U(x). We consider two types of such algorithms. One
of them is based on constructing a set of irreducible polynomials that
