Summary: In this survey article we briefly describe some properties of difference equations obtained by the iterated applications of two-dimensional maps of the plane and we try to characterize the qualitative changes (or bifurcations) of the asymptotic behavior of the solutions, as some parameters are varied, in terms of contacts between particular curves and invariant sets which characterize the global properties of the iterated maps. In particular we consider the role of critical curves in noninvertible maps of the plane and the contacts involving focal points and prefocal sets in maps of the plane characterized by the presence (in the map or in some inverse map) of a denominator that vanishes along a curve of the plane. The effects of the global bifurcations given by contacts involving such singular curves on the attractors and their basins are described through some examples.
