Abstract
We present a study of complex discrete vector Sturm-Liouville problems, where coefficients of the difference equation are complex numbers and the strongly coupled boundary conditions are nonselfadjoint. Moreover, eigenstructure, orthogonality, and eigenfunctions expansion are studied. Finally, an example is given.
