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…
Using the fact that Miura transformation can be expressed in the form of gauge transformation connecting the KdV and mKdV equations, we discuss the derivation of the B\"acklund transformation and its Miura-gauge transformation connecting…
We present a systematic approach to the construction of Miura transformations for discrete Painlev\'e equations. Our method is based on the bilinear formalism and we start with the expression of the nonlinear discrete equation in terms 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…
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,…
We investigate self-similar solutions of the extended discrete KP hierarchy. It is shown that corresponding ansatzes lead to purely discrete equations with dependence on some number of parameters together with equations governing…
We examine quantum extensions of the continuous Painlev\'e equations, expressed as systems of first-order differential equations for non-commuting objects. We focus on the Painlev\'e equations II, IV and V. From their auto-B\"acklund…
The article studies a class of integrable semidiscrete equations with one continuous and two discrete independent variables. Miura type transformations are obtained that relate the equations of the class. A new integrable chain of this type…
This paper is an attempt to present and discuss at some length the Singular Manifold Method. This Method is based upon the Painlev\'e Property systematically used as a tool for obtaining clear cut answers to almost all the questions related…
The problem of construction of integrable boundary conditions for the discrete Toda chain is considered. The restricted chains for properly chosen closure conditions are reduced to the well known discrete Painlev\'e equations $dP_{III}$,…
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…
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…
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…
For the master Painlev\'e equation P6(u), we define a consistent method, adapted from the Weiss truncation for partial differential equations, which allows us to obtain the first degree birational transformation of Okamoto. Two new features…
We present a general scheme to derive higher-order members of the Painleve VI (PVI) hierarchy of ODE's as well as their difference analogues. The derivation is based on a discrete structure that sits on the background of the PVI equation…
In this paper discrete equations are derived from B\"{a}cklund transformations of the fifth Painlev\'{e} equation, including a new discrete equation which has ternary symmetry. There are two classes of rational solutions of the fifth…
Employing the Lax pairs of the noncommutative discrete potential Korteweg--de Vries (KdV) and Hirota's KdV equations, we derive differential--difference equations that are consistent with these systems and serve as their generalised…
We show that the Painleve equations P3-P5 can be derived (in a unified way) from a periodic sequence of Darboux transformations for a Schrodinger problem with quadratic eigenvalue dependency. The general problem naturally divides into three…
Based on the works by Kajiwara, Noumi and Yamada, we propose a canonically quantized version of the rational Weyl group representation which originally arose as "symmetries" or the B\"acklund transformations in Painlev\'{e} equations. We…
We present a novel integrable non-autonomous partial differential equation of the Schwarzian type, i.e. invariant under M\"obius transformations, that is related to the Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy. In fact, this PDE can be considered as the…
