We show that any second order linear ordinary diffrential equation with constant coefficients (including the damped and undumped harmonic oscillator equation) admits an exact discretization, i.e., there exists a difference equation whose…

We apply the 'almost good reduction' (AGR) criterion, which has been introduced in our previous (arXiv:1206.4456 and arXiv:1209.0223), to several classes of discrete integrable equations. We verify our conjecture that AGR plays the same…

The Riccati differential equation is examined in light of its connection to second order linear time varying systems. In that light it becomes the clear generalization for the characteristic equation of linear time invariant systems, and is…
We use a recently found method to characterise all the invertible fourth-order difference equations linear in the extremal values based on the existence of a discrete Lagrangian. We also give some result on the integrability properties of…

An approximation method is presented for probabilistic inference with continuous random variables. These problems can arise in many practical problems, in particular where there are "second order" probabilities. The approximation, based on…
This paper is devoted to exploring a new minimax approach by introducing a characteristic mapping family which is invariant under the smooth descending flow for initial value. The minimax approach is self-contained, and its features are…
