In this equation, $h$ is a fixed positive parameter and $M: {\mathbb C}\to SL(2,{\mathbb C})$ is a given matrix function. We assume that $M(z)$ is a $2π$-periodic trigonometric polynomial. We construct the minimal entire solutions, i.e. entire solutions with the minimal possible growth simultaneously as for im$z\to+\infty$ so for im$z\to-\infty$. We show that the monodromy matrices corresponding to the minimal entire solutions are trigonometric polynomials of the same order as $M$. This property relates the spectral analysis of difference Schrödinger equations with trigonometric polynomial coefficients to an analysis of finite dimensional dynamical systems.45 pagesMathematical PhysicsComplex Variables39A10; 39B32text
