We consider the stochastic difference equation
{{\eta }_{k}}\,=\,{{\xi }_{k}}\phi \left( {{\eta }_{k-1}} \right),\,\,k\,\in \,\mathbb{Z} on a locally compact group
G, where
\phi is an automorphism of
G,
{{\xi }_{K}} are given
G-valued random variables, and
{{\eta }_{k}} are unknown
G-valued random variables. This equation was considered by Tsirelson and Yor on a one-dimensional torus. We consider the case when
{{\xi }_{K}} have a common law
\mu and prove that if
G is a distal group and
\phi is a distal automorphism of
G and if the equation has a solution, then extremal solutions of the equation are in one-to-one correspondence with points on the coset space
K\backslash G for some compact subgroup
K of
G such that
\mu is supported on
Kz\,=\,z\phi \left( K \right) for any
z in the support of
\mu . We also provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of solutions to the equation.
