    We introduce a new type of reduction in a free difference module over a difference field that uses a generalization of the concept of effective order of a difference polynomial. Then we define the concept of a generalized characteristic set of such a module, establish some properties of these characteristic sets and use them to prove the existence, outline a method of computation and find invariants of a dimension polynomial in two variables associated with a finitely generated difference module. As a consequence of these results, we obtain a new type of bivariate dimension polynomials of finitely generated difference field extensions. We also explain the relationship between these dimension polynomials and the concept of Einstein’s strength of a system of difference equations.

    We present a method of Gröbner bases with respect to several term orderings and use it to obtain new results on multivariate dimension polynomials of inversive difference modules. Then we use the difference structure of the module of Kahler differentials associated with a finitely generated inversive difference field extension of a given difference transcendence degree to describe the form of a multivariate difference dimension polynomial of the extension.

    Let K be an inversive difference-differential field and L a (not necessarily inversive) finitely generated difference-differential field extension of K. We consider the natural filtration of the extension L/K associated with a finite system \eta of its difference-differential generators and prove that for any intermediate difference-differential field F, the transcendence degrees of the components of the induced filtration of F are expressed by a certain numerical polynomial \chi_{K, F,\eta}(t). This polynomial is closely connected with the dimension Hilbert-type polynomial of a submodule of the module of K\"ahler differentials $\Omega_{L^{\ast}|K} where L^{\ast} is the inversive closure of L. We prove some properties of polynomials \chi_{K, F,\eta}(t) and use them for the study of the Krull-type dimension of the extension L/K. In the last part of the paper, we present a generalization of the obtained results to multidimensional filtrations of L/K associated with partitions of the sets of basic derivations and translations.
