Several analogues of Painlevé analysis for discrete equations will be described in this talk.Each approach involves detecting equations for which some measure of complexity of solutions grows much slower than in the generic case.In particular, the degree growth on a function field and the growth of heights on number fields will be explored.The relationship to algebraic entropy and singularity confinement will be described.Several new results concerning dPIV will be presented.
