Direct delay reductions of the Toda hierarchy

Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems 2010-05-06 v1

Abstract

We apply the direct method of obtaining reductions to the Toda hierarchy of equations. The resulting equations form a hierarchy of ordinary differential difference equations, also known as delay-differential equations. Such a hierarchy appears to be the first of its kind in the literature. All possible reductions, under certain assumptions, are obtained. The Lax pair associated to this reduced hierarchy is obtained.
