We give B\"acklund transformations for first and second Painlev\'e hierarchies. These B\"acklund transformations are generalization of known B\"acklund transformations of the first and second Painlev\'e equations and they relate the…
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 +…
B\"acklund transformations (BTs) are traditionally regarded as a tool for integrating nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). Their use has been recently extended, however, to problems such as the construction of recursion…
We give new Backlund transformations (BTs) for some known integrable (in the sense of being multidimensionally consistent) quadrilateral lattice equations. As opposed to the natural auto-BT inherent in every such equation, these BTs are of…
The second Painlev\'e hierarchy is defined as the hierarchy of ordinary differential equations obtained by similarity reduction from the modified Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy. Its first member is the well-known second Painlev\'e equation,…
Backlund transformations (BTs) are a useful tool for integrating nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). However, the significance of BTs in linear problems should not be ignored. In fact, an important linear system of PDEs in…
We construct B\"acklund transformations (BT) for the Gelfand-Dickey hierarchy (GD$_n$-hierarchy) on the space of $n$-th order differential operators on the line. Suppose $L=\partial_x^n-\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}u_i\partial_x^{(i-1)}$ is a solution…
The derivation of the Backlund transformations (BTs) is a standard problem of the theory of the integrable systems. Here, I discuss the equations describing the BTs for the Ablowitz-Ladik hierarchy (ALH), which have been already obtained by…
For $N\ge 3$ there are $S_N$ and $D_N$ actions on the space of solutions of the first nontrivial equation in the $SL(N) MKdV hierarchy, generalizing the two $Z_2$ actions on the space of solutions of the standard MKdV equation. These…
Following the general results on the relationships about Backlund transformations (BTs) and exact discretisation given in a previous work [12], we consider the Ablowitz-Ladik hierarchy and a corresponding family of BTs. After discussing the…
Symmetries and solutions of the Painleve IV equation are presented in an alternative framework which provides the bridge between the Hamiltonian formalism and the symmetric Painleve IV equation. This approach originates from a method…
Novel hybrid Ermakov-Painlev\'{e} IV systems are introduced and an associated Ermakov invariant is used in establishing their integrability. B\"{a}cklund transformations are then employed to generate classes of exact solutions via the…
It is shown that explicit B\"{a}cklund transformations (BTs) for the high-order constrained flows of soliton hierarchy can be constructed via their Darboux transformations and Lax representation, and these BTs are canonical transformations…
The Painleve expansion for the second Painleve equation (PII) and fourth Painleve equation (PIV) have two branches. The singular manifold method therefore requires two singular manifolds. The double singular manifold method is used to…
We construct B\"acklund transformations (BTs) for the Kirchhoff top by taking advantage of the common algebraic Poisson structure between this system and the $sl(2)$ trigonometric Gaudin model. Our BTs are integrable maps providing an exact…
For each Painlev\'e system P_J except the first one, we have a B\"acklund transformation group which is a lift of an affine Weyl group. In this paper, we show that the B\"acklund transformation groups for J=V,IV,III,II are successively…
It is shown how pseudoconstants of the Liouville-type equations can be exploited as a tool for construction of the B\"acklund transformations. Several new examples of such transformations are found. In particular we obtained the B\"acklund…
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 give a new approach to the symmetries of the Painlev\'e equations $P_{V},P_{IV},P_{III}$ and $P_{II}$, respectively. Moreover, we make natural extensions to fourth-order analogues for each of the Painlev\'e equations $P_{V}$ and…
It is well known that the sixth Painlev\'e equation $\PVI$ admits a group of B\"acklund transformations which is isomorphic to the affine Weyl group of type $\mathrm{D}_4^{(1)}$. Although various aspects of this unexpectedly large symmetry…
