We introduce and solve the problem of inverting a non-uniform

difference operator, or equivalently of solving the (linear)

difference equation

$$ \Delta_\Phi\big[v\big](t) := v\big(\Phi(t)\big) - v(t) = w(t),$$

with uniform bounds on the solution operator; here $\Phi$ is a given

invertible map of the circle. This is the simplest form of an

equation that arises in our long-term project of proving the existence

of time- and space-periodic solutions of the compressible Euler

equations of fluid dynamics. Obtaining bounds on the solution

operator with a finite loss of derivatives is an essential step in

applying the Nash-Moser method to this larger problem. We solve

the problem in stages, depending on the geometric structure of the

shift map $\Phi$. After identifying a solvability condition, we are able

to completely characterize the solution operator and obtain bounds.

We end with a discussion of the ways we expect to apply these

techniques in our Nash-Moser iteration.

This is joint work with Blake Temple.
