The `restoration method' is a novel method we recently introduced for systematically deriving discrete Painlev\'e equations. In this method we start from a given Painlev\'e equation, typically with E$_8^{(1)}$ symmetry, obtain its…
We present a systematic and quite elementary method for constructing discrete Painlev\'e equations in the degeneration cascade for E$_8^{(1)}$. Starting from the invariant for the autonomous limit of the E$_8^{(1)}$ equation one wishes to…
We derive the discrete Painlev\'e equations associated to the affine Weyl group E$_8^{(1)}$ that can be represented by an (in the QRT sense) "asymmetric" trihomographic system. The method used in this paper is based on singularity…
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…

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…

Discrete Painlev\'e equations are nonlinear, nonautonomous difference equations of second-order. They have coefficients that are explicit functions of the independent variable $n$ and there are three different types of equations according…
This paper concerns the discrete version of the Painlev\'e identification problem, i.e., how to recognize a certain recurrence relation as a discrete Painlev\'e equation. Often some clues can be seen from the setting of the problem, e.g.,…

We examine the validity of the results obtained with the singularity confinement integrability criterion in the case of discrete Painlev\'e equations. The method used is based on the requirement of non-exponential growth of the homogeneous…
Folding transformation of the Painlev\'e equations is an algebraic (of degree greater than 1) transformation between solutions of different equations. In 2005 Tsuda, Okamoto and Sakai classified folding transformations of differential…
It is well known that the Painlev\'e equations can formally degenerate to autonomous differential equations with elliptic function solutions in suitable scaling limits. A way to make this degeneration rigorous is to apply Deift-Zhou…
