We expand a partial difference equation (P$\Delta$E) on multiple lattices and obtain the P$\Delta$E which governs its far field behaviour. The perturbative--reductive approach is here performed on well known nonlinear P$\Delta$Es, both integrable and non integrable. We study the cases of the lattice modified Korteweg--de Vries (mKdV) equation, the Hietarinta equation, the lattice Volterra--Kac--Van Moerbeke (VKVM) equation and a non integrable lattice KdV equation. Such reductions allow us to...

In this paper we are extending the well known integrability theorems obtained by multiple scale techniques to the case of linearizable difference equations. As an example we apply the theory to the case of a differential-difference dispersive equation of the Burgers hierarchy which via a discrete Hopf-Cole transformation reduces to a linear differential difference equation. In this case the equation satisfies the $A_1$, $A_2$ and $A_3$ linearizability conditions. We then consider its...

In this paper we present a set of results on the integration and on the symmetries of the lattice potential Korteweg-de Vries (lpKdV) equation. Using its associated spectral problem we construct the soliton solutions and the Lax technique enables us to provide infinite sequences of generalized symmetries. Finally, using a discrete symmetry of the lpKdV equation, we construct a large class of non-autonomous generalized symmetries.

We briefly review two different methods of applying Lie group theory in the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. On specific examples we show how the symmetry preserving discretization provides difference schemes for which the "first differential approximation" is invariant under the same Lie group as the original ordinary differential equation.

We show that one can define through the symmetry approach a procedure to check the linearizability of a difference equation via a point or a discrete Cole-Hopf transformation. If the equation is linearizable the symmetry provides the linearizing transformation. At the end we present few examples of applications for equations defined on four lattice points.

In the process of constructing invariant difference schemes which approximate partial differential equations we write down a procedure for discretizing an arbitrary partial differential equation on an arbitrary lattice. An open problem is the meaning of a lattice which does not satisfy the Clairaut--Schwarz--Young theorem. To analyze it we apply the procedure on a simple example, the potential Burgers equation with two different lattices, an orthogonal lattice which is invariant under the...

As an example of the application of the methods, we construct the discrete symmetries of the discrete Painlev\'e I equation and of the Toda lattice equation.

The Liouville equation is well known to be linearizable by a point transformation. It has an infinite dimensional Lie point symmetry algebra isomorphic to a direct sum of two Virasoro algebras. We show that it is not possible to discretize the equation keeping the entire symmetry algebra as point symmetries. We do however construct a difference system approximating the Liouville equation that is invariant under the maximal finite subalgebra $ SL_x \lf 2 , \mathbb{R} \rg \otimes SL_y \lf 2 ,...

A method is presented for calculating the Lie point symmetries of a scalar difference equation on a two-dimensional lattice. The symmetry transformations act on the equations and on the lattice. They take solutions into solutions and can be used to perform symmetry reduction. The method generalizes one presented in a recent publication for the case of ordinary difference equations. In turn, it can easily be generalized to difference systems involving an arbitrary number of dependent and...

We discuss umbral calculus as a method of systematically discretizing linear differential equations while preserving their point symmetries as well as generalized symmetries. The method is then applied to the Schr\"{o}dinger equation in order to obtain a realization of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics in discrete space-time. In this approach a quantum system on a lattice has a symmetry algebra isomorphic to that of the continuous case. Moreover, systems that are integrable,...

The main purpose of this article is to show how symmetry structures in partial differential equations can be preserved in a discrete world and reflected in difference schemes. Three different structure preserving discretizations of the Liouville equation are presented and then used to solve specific boundary value problems. The results are compared with exact solutions satisfying the same boundary conditions. All three discretizations are on four point lattices. One preserves linearizability of...

We discuss the non autonomous nonlinear partial difference equations belonging to Boll classification of quad graph equations consistent around the cube. We show how starting from the compatible equations on a cell we can construct the lattice equations, its B\"acklund transformations and Lax pairs. By carrying out the algebraic entropy calculations we show that the $H^4$ trapezoidal and the $H^6$ families are linearizable and in a few examples we show how we can effectively linearize them.

In this paper we study the integrability of a class of nonlinear non autonomous quad graph equations compatible around the cube introduced by Boll. We show that all these equations possess three point generalized symmetries which are subcases of either the Yamilov discretization of the Krichever--Novikov equation or of its non autonomous extension. We also prove that all those symmetries are integrable as pass the algebraic entropy test.

In this note we present some ideas on when Lie symmetries, both point and generalized, can depend on arbitrary functions. We show on a few examples, both in partial differential and partial difference equations when this happens. Moreover we show that the infinitesimal generators of generalized symmetries depending on arbitrary functions, both for continuous and discrete equations, effectively play the role of master symmetries.

In this paper we introduce a non autonomous generalization of the $\QV$ equation introduced by Viallet. All the equations of Boll's classification appear in it for special choices of the parameters. Using the algebraic entropy test we infer that the equation should be integrable and with the aid of a formula introduced by Xenitidis we find its three point generalized symmetries.

We propose a differential difference equation in ${\mathcal R}^1\times {\mathcal Z}^2$ and study it by Hirota's bilinear method. This equation has a singular continuum limit into a system which admits the reduction to the Davey-Stewartson equation. The solutions of this discrete DS system are characterized by Casorati and Grammian determinants. Based on the bilinear form of this discrete DS system, we construct the bilinear B\"{a}cklund transformation which enables us to obtain its Lax...

We define a class of transformations of the dependent and independent variables in an ordinary difference scheme. The transformations leave the solution set of the system invariant and reduces to a group of contact transformations in the continuous limit. We use a simple example to show that the class is not empty and that such "contact transformations for discrete systems" genuinely exist.

A symmetry classification is performed for a class of differential-difference equations depending on 9 parameters. A 6-parameter subclass of these equations is an integrable discretization of the Krichever-Novikov equation. The dimension $n$ of the Lie point symmetry algebra satisfies $1 \le n \le 5$. The highest dimensions, namely $n=5$ and $n=4$ occur only in the integrable cases.

We study in detail two families of $q$-Fibonacci polynomials and $q$-Lucas polynomials, which are defined by non-conventional three-term recurrences. They were recently introduced by Cigler and have been then employed by Cigler and Zeng to construct novel $q$-extensions of classical Hermite polynomials. We show that both of these $q$-polynomial families exhibit simple transformation properties with respect to the classical Fourier integral transform.

We apply the discrete multiscale expansion to the Lax pair and to the first few symmetries of the lattice potential Korteweg-de Vries equation. From these calculations we show that, like the lowest order secularity conditions give a nonlinear Schroedinger equation, the Lax pair gives at the same order the Zakharov and Shabat spectral problem and the symmetries the hierarchy of point and generalized symmetries of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation.
