Casorati Determinant Solution for the Relativistic Toda Lattice Equation

The relativistic Toda lattice equation is decomposed into three Toda systems, the Toda lattice itself, B\"acklund transformation of Toda lattice and discrete time Toda lattice. It is shown that the solutions of the equation are given in terms of the Casorati determinant. By using the Casoratian technique, the bilinear equations of Toda systems are reduced to the Laplace expansion form for determinants. The $N$-soliton solution is explicitly constructed in the form of the Casorati determinant.Comment: 19 pages in plain Te

Toda Lattice Hierarchy and Zamolodchikov's Conjecture

In this letter, we show that certain Fredholm determinant $D(\lambda;t)$, introduced by Zamolodchikov in his study of 2D polymers, is a continuum limit of soliton solution for the Toda lattice hierarchy with 2-periodic reduction condition.Comment: 6 pages, LaTeX file, no figure

Crystal-field-induced magnetostrictions in the spin reorientation process of Nd2_2Fe14_{14}B-type compounds

Volume expansion $\Delta V / V$ associated with the spin reorientation process of Nd$_2$Fe$_{14}$B-type compounds has been investigated in terms of simple crystalline-electric-field (CEF) model. In this system, $\Delta V / V$ is shown to be a direct measure of second order CEF energy. Calculated anomalies in $\Delta V / V$ associated with the first-order magnetization process of Nd$_2$Fe$_{14}$B are presented, which well reproduced the observations.Comment: 2 pages, 2 figures, to appear in J.

Bilinear Discrete Painleve-II and its Particular Solutions

By analogy to the continuous Painlev\'e II equation, we present particular solutions of the discrete Painlev\'e II (d-P$\rm_{II}$) equation. These solutions are of rational and special function (Airy) type. Our analysis is based on the bilinear formalism that allows us to obtain the $\tau$ function for d-P$\rm_{II}$. Two different forms of bilinear d-P$\rm_{II}$ are obtained and we show that they can be related by a simple gauge transformation.Comment: 9 pages in plain Te

A remark on the Hankel determinant formula for solutions of the Toda equation

We consider the Hankel determinant formula of the $\tau$ functions of the Toda equation. We present a relationship between the determinant formula and the auxiliary linear problem, which is characterized by a compact formula for the $\tau$ functions in the framework of the KP theory. Similar phenomena that have been observed for the Painlev\'e II and IV equations are recovered. The case of finite lattice is also discussed.Comment: 14 pages, IOP styl
