Abstract
A discrete analogue of the theory of DC programming is constructed
on the basis of discrete convex analysis.
Since there are two classes of discrete convex functions (M-convex
functions and L-convex functions),
there are four types of discrete DC functions
(an M-convex function minus an M-convex function, an M-convex function minus an L-convex function, and so on) and four types of DC programs.
The discrete Toland-Singer duality establishes the relation among the four types of discrete DC programs.
