<abstract>For the second-order quasilinear difference equation $\Delta(p_n|\Delta x_n|^{\alpha-1}\Delta x_n) + q_n|x_{n+1}|^{\beta-1}x_{n+1} = 0$, $\alpha>\beta$, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of slowly growing and slowly decaying positive solution. In particular, when $p_n=1$, the precise asymptotic forms of its slowly growing positive solutions are obtained.</abstract>
