A fairly complete list of Toda-like integrable lattice systems, both in the continuous and discrete time, is given. For each system the Newtonian, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations are presented, as well as the 2x2 Lax representation…

We will give a short introduction to discrete or lattice soliton equations, with the particular example of the Korteweg-de Vries as illustration. We will discuss briefly how B\"acklund transformations lead to equations that can be…
Using the symmetry reductions of the self-dual Yang-Mills (SDYM) equations in (2+2) dimensions, we introduce new integrable equations which are nonautonomous versions of the chiral model in (2+1) dimensions, generalized nonlinear…

We analyze the canonical treatment of classical constrained mechanical systems formulated with a discrete time. We prove that under very general conditions, it is possible to introduce nonsingular canonical transformations that preserve the…
We study 2D discrete integrable equations of order 1 with respect to one independent variable and $m$ with respect to another one. A generalization of the multidimensional consistency property is proposed for this type of equations. The…

A new integrable lattice system is introduced, and its integrable discretizations are obtained. A B\"acklund transformation between this new system and the Toda lattice, as well as between their discretizations, is established.
There is a deformation of the ordinary differential calculus which leads from the continuum to a lattice (and induces a corresponding deformation of physical theories). We recall some of its features and relate it to a general framework of…
We propose a new method for discretizing the time variable in integrable lattice systems while maintaining the locality of the equations of motion. The method is based on the zero-curvature (Lax pair) representation and the lowest-order…
I present a summary of recent work \cite{BRS} where we describe the time-evolution of a region of disoriented chiral condensate via Langevin field equations for the linear $\sigma$ model. We analyze the model in equilibrium, paying…
In this paper we present multidimensional analogues of both the continuous- and discrete-time Toda lattices. The integrable systems that we consider here have two or more space coordinates. To construct the systems, we generalize the…
We discuss the current conservation laws in sigma models based on a compact Lie groups of the same dimensionality and connected to each other via pseudoduality transformations in two dimensions. We show that pseudoduality transformations…
The Laplace sequence of the discrete conjugate nets is constructed. The invariants of the nets satisfy, in full analogy to the continuous case, the system of difference equations equivalent to the discrete version of the generalized Toda…
We present a variational theory of integrable differential-difference equations (semi-discrete integrable systems). This is a natural extension of the ideas known by the names "Lagrangian multiforms" and "Pluri-Lagrangian systems", which…
We introduce a new integrable hierarchy of nonlinear differential-difference equations which is a subhierarchy of the 2D Toda lattice defined by imposing a constraint to the Lax operators of the latter. The 2D Toda lattice with the…

An effective algorithmic method is presented for finding the local conservation laws for partial differential equations with any number of independent and dependent variables. The method does not require the use or existence of a…
