#### Abstract

Under the restriction of finite order, we prove two uniqueness theorems of nonconstant meromorphic functions sharing three values with their difference operators, which are counterparts of Theorem 2.1 in [6] for a finite-order meromorphic function and its shift operator.

#### Keywords
