Abstract: The second order linear difference equation
\Delta(r_k\triangle x_k)+c_kx_{k+1}=0,\tag1
where $r_k\ne0$ and $k\in\mathbb{Z}$, is considered as a special type of symplectic systems. The concept of the phase for symplectic systems is introduced as the discrete analogy of the Boruvka concept of the phase for second order linear differential equations. Oscillation and nonoscillation of (1) and of symplectic systems are investigated in connection with phases and trigonometric systems. Some applications to summation of number series are given, too.
Keywords: second order linear difference equation, symplectic system, phase, oscillation, nonoscillation, trigonometric transformation
