Abstract

We present a comprehensive review of the discrete Boussinesq equations based on their three-component forms on an elementary quadrilateral. These equations were originally found by Nijhoff et al using the direct linearization method and later generalized by Hietarinta using a search method based on multidimensional consistency. We derive from these three-component equations their two- and one-component variants. From the one-component form we derive two different semi-continuous limits as well as their fully continuous limits, which turn out to be PDE's for the regular, modified and Schwarzian Boussinesq equations. Several kinds of Lax pairs are also provided. Finally we give their Hirota bilinear forms and multi-soliton solutions in terms of Casoratians.
