Difference equations for discrete classical multiple orthogonal polynomials

For discrete multiple orthogonal polynomials such as the multiple Charlier polynomials, the multiple Meixner polynomials, and the multiple Hahn polynomials, we first find a lowering operator and then give a (r+1)th order difference equation by combining the lowering operator with the raising operator. As a corollary, explicit third order difference equations for discrete multiple orthogonal polynomials are given, which was already proved by Van Assche for the multiple Charlier polynomials and the multiple Meixner polynomials.
