A geometric study of two 4-dimensional mappings is given. By the resolution of indeterminacy they are lifted to pseudo-automorphisms of rational varieties obtained from $({\mathbb P}^1)^4$ by blowing-up along sixteen 2-dimensional…
In this paper we describe B\"acklund transformations and hierarchies of exact solutions for the fourth Painlev\'e equation (PIV) $${\d^2 w\over\d z^2}={1\over2w}\left(\d w\over\d z\right)^2 + {{3\over2}}w^3 + 4zw^2 +…
We construct explicit solutions to the discrete motion of discrete plane curves that has been introduced by one of the authors recently. Explicit formulas in terms the $\tau$ function are presented. Transformation theory of the motions of…
We derive integrable equations starting from autonomous mappings with a general form inspired by the additive systems associated to the affine Weyl group E$_8^{(1)}$. By deautonomisation we obtain two hitherto unknown systems, one of which…
We extend Painlev\'e IV model by adding quadratic terms to its Hamiltonian obtaining two classes of models (coalescence and deformation) that interpolate between Painlev\'e IV and II equations for special limits of the underlying…
We study a quantum (non-commutative) representation of the affine Weyl group mainly of type $E_8^{(1)}$, where the representation is given by birational actions on two variables $x$, $y$ with $q$-commutation relations. Using the tau…

The procedure of the "quantum" linearization of the Hamiltonian ordinary differential equations with one degree of freedom is introduced. It is offered to be used for the classification of integrable equations of the Painleve type. By this…
Discrete Painlev\'e equations are integrable two-dimensional birational maps associated to a family of generalized Halphen surfaces. The latter can be seen either as $\mathbb P^2$ blown up at nine points or as $\mathbb P^1\times\mathbb P^1$…
We present a consistent truncation, allowing us to obtain the first degree birational transformation found by Okamoto for the sixth Painlev\'e equation. The discrete equation arising from its contiguity relation is then just the sum of six…
A Miura chain is a (closed) sequence of differential (or difference) equations that are related by Miura or B\"acklund transformations. We describe such a chain for the sixth Painlev\'e equation (\pvi), containing, apart from \pvi itself, a…
We study a one-parameter family of the fourth-order ordinary differential equations obtained by similarity reduction of the modifed Sawada-Kotera equation. We show that the birational transformations take this equation to the polynomial…
A new integrable sixth-order nonlinear wave equation is discovered by means of the Painleve analysis, which is equivalent to the Korteweg - de Vries equation with a source. A Lax representation and a Backlund self-transformation are found…
In this paper, we describe the non-commutative formal geometry underlying a certain class of discrete integrable systems. Our main example is a non-commutative analog, labeled $q$-P$(A_3)$, of the sixth $q$-Painlev\'e equation. The system…
A non-abelian generalisation of a birational representation of affine Weyl groups and their application to the discrete dynamical systems is presented. By using this generalisation, non-commutative analogs for the discrete systems of…

B\"acklund transformations (BTs) for ordinary differential equations (ODEs), and in particular for hierarchies of ODEs, are a topic of great current interest. Here we give an improved method of constructing BTs for hierarchies of ODEs. This…
We study reductions of the Korteweg--de Vries equation corresponding to stationary equations for symmetries from the noncommutative subalgebra. An equivalent system of $n$ second-order equations is obtained, which reduces to the Painlev\'e…
We present the bilinear forms of the (continuous) Painlev\'e equations obtained from the continuous limit of the analogous expresssions for the discrete ones. The advantage of this method is that it leads to very symmetrical results. A new…
