Abstract A review and some new results are presented for the solid-on-solid models of wetting in two dimensions (i.e., line interfaces) with an emphasis on the difference equations arising in the transfer matrix calculations for these models. Methods for solving the appropriate difference equations exactly or approximately are surveyed, including specific results for short-range, long-range power-law, and applied field-like (binding) external potentials.
