says in words
“The signal value at any time n is 1.97 times the signal value at the
previous time [n -1] minus the signal value at the time before that
[n - 2].”
If we know the signal value at any two times, we can compute its
value at all other (discrete) times. This is quite similar to a
second-order differential equation for which knowledge of two
independent initial conditions allows us to find the solution for all
time and the solution methods are very similar.

Discrete-Time Systems
y n = 1.97 y n − 1 − y n − 2
We could solve this equation by iteration using a computer.
