A multidimensionally consistent version of Hirota's discrete KdV equation

A multidimensionally consistent generalisation of Hirota's discrete KdV equation is proposed, it is a quad equation defined by a polynomial that is quadratic in each variable. Soliton solutions and interpretation of the model as superposition principle are given. It is discussed how an important property of the defining polynomial, a factorisation of discriminants, appears also in the few other known discrete integrable multi-quadratic models.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figure
