Note on theoretical and practical solvability of a class of discrete equations generalizing the hyperbolic-cotangent class
There has been some recent interest in investigating the hyperbolic-cotangent types of difference equations and systems of difference equations. Among other things their solvability has been studied. We show that there is a class of theoretically solvable difference equations generalizing the hyperbolic-cotangent one. Our analysis shows a bit unexpected fact, namely that the solvability of the class is based on some algebraic relations, not closely related to some trigonometric ones, which enable us to solve them in an elegant way. Some examples of the difference equations belonging to the class which are practically solvable are presented, as well as some interesting comments on connections of the equations with some iteration processes
New class of practically solvable systems of difference equations of hyperbolic-cotangent-type
The systems of difference equations
where are complex numbers, and the sequences , , are or , are studied. It is shown that each of these sixteen systems is practically solvable, complementing some recent results on solvability of related systems of difference equations
Quasi Exactly Solvable Difference Equations
Several explicit examples of quasi exactly solvable `discrete' quantum
mechanical Hamiltonians are derived by deforming the well-known exactly
solvable Hamiltonians of one degree of freedom. These are difference analogues
of the well-known quasi exactly solvable systems, the harmonic oscillator
(with/without the centrifugal potential) deformed by a sextic potential and the
1/sin^2x potential deformed by a cos2x potential. They have a finite number of
exactly calculable eigenvalues and eigenfunctions.Comment: LaTeX with amsfonts, no figure, 17 pages, a few typos corrected, a

New Fundamental Symmetries of Integrable Systems and Partial Bethe Ansatz
We introduce a new concept of quasi-Yang-Baxter algebras. The quantum
quasi-Yang-Baxter algebras being simple but non-trivial deformations of
ordinary algebras of monodromy matrices realize a new type of quantum dynamical
symmetries and find an unexpected and remarkable applications in quantum
inverse scattering method (QISM). We show that applying to quasi-Yang-Baxter
algebras the standard procedure of QISM one obtains new wide classes of quantum
models which, being integrable (i.e. having enough number of commuting
integrals of motion) are only quasi-exactly solvable (i.e. admit an algebraic
Bethe ansatz solution for arbitrarily large but limited parts of the spectrum).
These quasi-exactly solvable models naturally arise as deformations of known
exactly solvable ones. A general theory of such deformations is proposed. The
correspondence ``Yangian --- quasi-Yangian'' and `` spin models ---
quasi- spin models'' is discussed in detail. We also construct the
classical conterparts of quasi-Yang-Baxter algebras and show that they
naturally lead to new classes of classical integrable models. We conjecture
that these models are quasi-exactly solvable in the sense of classical inverse
scattering method, i.e. admit only partial construction of action-angle
variables.Comment: 49 pages, LaTe
Dolan-Grady Relations and Noncommutative Quasi-Exactly Solvable Systems
We investigate a U(1) gauge invariant quantum mechanical system on a 2D
noncommutative space with coordinates generating a generalized deformed
oscillator algebra. The Hamiltonian is taken as a quadratic form in gauge
covariant derivatives obeying the nonlinear Dolan-Grady relations. This
restricts the structure function of the deformed oscillator algebra to a
quadratic polynomial. The cases when the coordinates form the su(2) and sl(2,R)
algebras are investigated in detail. Reducing the Hamiltonian to 1D
finite-difference quasi-exactly solvable operators, we demonstrate partial
algebraization of the spectrum of the corresponding systems on the fuzzy sphere
and noncommutative hyperbolic plane. A completely covariant method based on the
notion of intrinsic algebra is proposed to deal with the spectral problem of
such systems.Comment: 25 pages; ref added; to appear in J. Phys.
