INTEGRABLE COUPLING SYSTEMS OF HAMILTONIAN LATTICE EQUATIONS BY SEMI-DIRECT SUMS OF LIE ALGEBRAS
Abstract
By considering a discrete isospectral eigenvalue problem, a hierarchy of lattice soliton equations are derived. The relation to the Toda type lattice is achieved by variable transformation. With the help of Tu scheme, the Hamiltonian structure of the resulting lattice hierarchy is constructed. The Liouville integrability is then demonstrated. Semi-direct sum of Lie algebras is proposed to construct discrete integrable couplings. As applications, two kinds of discrete integrable couplings of the resulting system are worked out.
