Integrability Test for Discrete Equations via Generalized Symmetries

In this article we present some integrability conditions for partial difference equations obtained using the formal symmetries approach. We apply them to find integrable partial difference equations contained in a class of equations obtained by the multiple scale analysis of the general multilinear dispersive difference equation defined on the square.Comment: Proceedings of the Symposium in Memoriam Marcos Moshinsk

Asymptotic symmetries of difference equations on a lattice

It is known that many equations of interest in Mathematical Physics display solutions which are only asymptotically invariant under transformations (e.g. scaling and/or translations) which are not symmetries of the considered equation. In this note we extend the approach to asymptotic symmetries for the analysis of PDEs, to the case of difference equations

Classification of five-point differential-difference equations

Using the generalized symmetry method, we carry out, up to autonomous point transformations, the classification of integrable equations of a subclass of the autonomous five-point differential-difference equations. This subclass includes such well-known examples as the Itoh-Narita-Bogoyavlensky and the discrete Sawada-Kotera equations. The resulting list contains 17 equations some of which seem to be new. We have found non-point transformations relating most of the resulting equations among themselves and their generalized symmetries.Comment: 29 page

Multiscale expansion and integrability properties of the lattice potential KdV equation

We apply the discrete multiscale expansion to the Lax pair and to the first few symmetries of the lattice potential Korteweg-de Vries equation. From these calculations we show that, like the lowest order secularity conditions give a nonlinear Schroedinger equation, the Lax pair gives at the same order the Zakharov and Shabat spectral problem and the symmetries the hierarchy of point and generalized symmetries of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation.Comment: 10 pages, contribution to the proceedings of the NEEDS 2007 Conferenc

A discrete linearizability test based on multiscale analysis

In this paper we consider the classification of dispersive linearizable partial difference equations defined on a quad-graph by the multiple scale reduction around their harmonic solution. We show that the A_1, A_2 and A_3 linearizability conditions restrain the number of the parameters which enter into the equation. A subclass of the equations which pass the A_3 C-integrability conditions can be linearized by a Mobius transformation

Lie discrete symmetries of lattice equations

We extend two of the methods previously introduced to find discrete symmetries of differential equations to the case of difference and differential-difference equations. As an example of the application of the methods, we construct the discrete symmetries of the discrete Painlev\'e I equation and of the Toda lattice equation

A discrete integrability test based on multiscale analysis

In this article we present the results obtained applying the multiple scale expansion up to the order \epsilon^6 to a dispersive multilinear class of equations on a square lattice depending on 13 parameters. We show that the integrability conditions given by the multiple scale expansion give rise to 4 nonlinear equations, 3 of which are new, depending at most on 2 parameters and containing integrable sub cases. Moreover at least one sub case provides an example of a new integrable system

The lattice Schwarzian KdV equation and its symmetries

In this paper we present a set of results on the symmetries of the lattice Schwarzian Korteweg-de Vries (lSKdV) equation. We construct the Lie point symmetries and, using its associated spectral problem, an infinite sequence of generalized symmetries and master symmetries. We finally show that we can use master symmetries of the lSKdV equation to construct non-autonomous non-integrable generalized symmetries.Comment: 11 pages, no figures. Submitted to Jour. Phys.
