Given k sets such that no one is contained in another, there is an associated lattice on the power set P([k]) corresponding to inclusion relations among unions of the sets. Two lattices on P([k]) are equivalent if there is a permutation of…
The classical continuous finite element method with Lagrangian $Q^k$ basis reduces to a finite difference scheme when all the integrals are replaced by the $(k+1)\times (k+1)$ Gauss-Lobatto quadrature. We prove that this finite difference…
We introduce the Schur class of functions, discrete analytic on the integer lattice in the complex plane. As a special case, we derive the explicit form of discrete analytic Blaschke factors and solve the related basic interpolation…
We classify all linear division sequences in the integers, a problem going back to at least the 1930s. As a corollary we also classify those linear recurrence sequences in the integers for which $(x_m,x_n)=\pm x_{(m,n)}$. We also show that…

We consider various 2D lattice equations and their integrability, from the point of view of 3D consistency, Lax pairs and B\"acklund transformations. We show that these concepts, which are associated with integrability, are not strictly…

A three-step method due to Nijhoff and Bobenko & Suris to derive a Lax pair for scalar partial difference equations (P\Delta Es) is reviewed. The method assumes that the P\Delta Es are defined on a quadrilateral, and consistent around the…
The classical Lie method is applied to a nonisospectral problem associated with a system of partial differential equations in 2+1 dimensions (Maccari A, J. Math. Phys. 39, (1998), 6547-6551). Identification of the classical Lie symmetries…
We suggest a direct algorithm for searching the Lax pairs for nonlinear integrable equations. It is effective for both continuous and discrete models. The first operator of the Lax pair corresponding to a given nonlinear equation is found…
For a large class of systems of o.d.e.'s which have first integrals, the method of arrays yields the following results: i) The first integrals $I$ can be found by solving systems of linear equations. ii) How the first integral $I$ responds…

Different finite difference replacements for the derivative are analyzed in the context of the Heisenberg commutation relation. The type of the finite difference operator is shown to be tied to whether one can naturally consider $P$ and $X$…
