Abstract
The neutral delay difference equations of second order with positive and negative coefficients $$ { \Delta } ^2 ( {x_n + p_n x_{n - \tau } } ) + q_n x_{n - \sigma } - r_n x_{n - \lambda } = 0 ,\hskip 1em \ n = 0,1,2,\mathinner {\ldotp \ldotp \ldotp }, $$ is studied, and a sufficient condition for the existence of a positive solution of this equation is obtained.
