We present the discrete, q-, form of the Painlev\'e VI equation written as a three-point mapping and analyse the structure of its singularities. This discrete equation goes over to P_{VI} at the continuous limit and degenerates towards the…
We define an invariant, which we call surface-complexity, of closed 3-manifolds by means of Dehn surfaces. The surface-complexity of a manifold is a natural number measuring how much the manifold is complicated. We prove that it fulfils…
The integrability of a system of two symmetrically coupled higher-order nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations with parameter coefficients is tested by means of the singularity analysis. It is proven that the system passes the Painlev\'{e}…
Starting from the standard form of the five discrete Painlev\'e equations we show how one can obtain (through appropriate limits) a host of new equations which are also the discrete analogues of the continuous Painlev\'e equations. A…
In this paper we present a rigorous method for deciding whether a birational three point mapping that has the singularity confinement property is integrable or not, based only on the structure of its (confined) singularity patterns. We also…
We prove the meromorphy of solutions for a wide class of ordinary differential equations. These equations are given by invariant manifolds of non-linear partial differential equations integrable by the inverse scattering method. Some higher…
This short survey presents the essential features of what is called Painlev\'e analysis, i.e. the set of methods based on the singularities of differential equations in order to perform their explicit integration. Full details can be found…
As a basic example in nonlinear theories of discrete complex analysis, we explore various numerical methods for the accurate evaluation of the discrete map $Z^a$ introduced by Agafonov and Bobenko. The methods are based either on a discrete…
Bilinear forms for some nonlinear partial difference equations(discrete soliton equations) are derived based on the results of singularity confinement. Using the bilinear forms, the N-soliton and algebraic solutions of the discrete…
Necessary discretization rules to preserve the Painlev\'e property are stated. A new method is added to the discrete Painlev\'e test, which perturbs the continuous limit and generates infinitely many no-log conditions.
We review possible measures of complexity which might in particular be applicable to situations where the complexity seems to arise spontaneously. We point out that not all of them correspond to the intuitive (or "naive") notion, and that…
The singularity confinement test is very useful for isolating integrable cases of discrete-time dynamical systems, but it does not provide a sufficient criterion for integrability. Quite recently a new property of the bilinear equations…
This paper proposes a method for identifying and classifying integrable nonlinear equations with three independent variables, one of which is discrete and the other two are continuous. A characteristic property of this class of equations,…
In the series of recent publications we have proposed a novel approach to the classification of integrable differential/difference equations in 3D based on the requirement that hydrodynamic reductions of the corresponding dispersionless…
Regarding the resolution of singularities for the differential equations of Painlev\'e type, there are important differences between the second-order Painlev\'e equations and those of higher order. Unlike the second-order case, in higher…
We define an abstract framework called {\it discrete finite differences embedding} which can be used to obtain discrete analogue of formal functional relations in the spirit of category theory. For ordinary differential equations we exhibit…
Three classes of higher-order nonlinear parabolic hyperbolic, and nonlinear dispersion equations are shown to admit exact blow-up or compacton solutions, which are induced by elliptic equations with non-Lipschitz nonlinearities. Variational…
A Dirichlet-type problem is studied for an equation of even order with variable coefficients. A criterion for the uniqueness of a solution is given. The solution is built in the form of a Fourier series. When justifying the convergence of…
We use the consistency approach to classify discrete integrable 3D equations of the octahedron type. They are naturally treated on the root lattice $Q(A_3)$ and are consistent on the multidimensional lattice $Q(A_N)$. Our list includes the…
Define $||n||$ to be the complexity of $n$, the smallest number of ones needed to write $n$ using an arbitrary combination of addition and multiplication. The set $\mathscr{D}$ of defects, differences $\delta(n):=||n||-3\log_3 n$, is known…
