In this paper we construct a non-autonomous version of the Hietarinta equation [Hietarinta J., J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 37 (2004), L67-L73] and study its integrability properties. We show that this equation possess linear growth of the degrees of iterates, generalized symmetries depending on arbitrary functions, and that it is Darboux integrable. We use the first integrals to provide a general solution of this equation. In particular we show that this equation is a sub-case of the non-autonomous $Q_{\rm V}$ equation, and we provide a non-autonomous M\"obius transformation to another equation found in [Hietarinta J., J. Nonlinear Math. Phys. 12 (2005), suppl. 2, 223-230] and appearing also in Boll's classification [Boll R., Ph.D. Thesis, Technische Universit\"at Berlin, 2012]., Comment: In order that the manuscript be reasonably self contained, we have used some introductory material from our paper arXiv:1704.05805 to provide background for the presentation made here

In this paper we construct the general solutions of two families of quad-equations, namely the trapezoidal $H^{4}$ equations and the $H^{6}$ equations. These solutions are obtained exploiting the properties of the first integrals in the Darboux sense, which were derived in [Gubbiotti G., Yamilov R.I., J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 50 (2017), 345205, 26 pages, arXiv:1608.03506]. These first integrals are used to reduce the problem to the solution of some linear or linearizable non-autonomous ordinary difference equations which can be formally solved.

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 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.

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.

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.

We provide a complete set of linearizability conditions for nonlinear partial difference equations de- fined on four points and, using them, we classify all linearizable multilinear partial difference equations defined on four points up to a Mobious transformation

In this paper we propose some linearizability tests of partial difference equations on a quad-graph given by one point, two points and generalized Hopf-Cole transformations. We apply the so obtained tests to a set of nontrivial examples.

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 discretization. To get a dispersive equation we substitute the time derivative by its symmetric discretization. When we apply to this nonlinear partial difference equation the multiple scale expansion we find out that the lowest order non-secularity condition is given by a non-integrable nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. Thus showing that this discretized Burgers equation is neither linearizable not integrable.

In this article we show that the complex Burgers and the Kundu--Eckhaus equations are related by a Miura transformation. We use this relation to discretize the Kundu--Eckhaus equation., Comment: 10 pages

In this letter we present an analytic evidence of the non-integrability of the discrete nonlinear Schroedinger equation, a well-known discrete evolution equation which has been obtained in various contexts of physics and biology. We use a reductive perturbation technique to show an obstruction to its integrability., Comment: 4 pages, accepted in EPL

We construct Miura transformations mapping the scalar spectral problems of the integrable lattice equations belonging to the Adler-Bobenko-Suris (ABS) list into the discrete Schr\"odinger spectral problem associated with Volterra-type equations. We show that the ABS equations correspond to B\"acklund transformations for some particular cases of the discrete Krichever-Novikov equation found by Yamilov (YdKN equation). This enables us to construct new generalized symmetries for the ABS equations. The same can be said about the generalizations of the ABS equations introduced by Tongas, Tsoubelis and Xenitidis. All of them generate B\"acklund transformations for the YdKN equation. The higher order generalized symmetries we construct in the present paper confirm their integrability., Comment: Published in SIGMA (Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications) at http://www.emis.de/journals/SIGMA/

We conjecture an integrability and linearizability test for dispersive Z^2-lattice equations by using a discrete multiscale analysis. The lowest order secularity conditions from the multiscale expansion give a partial differential equation of the form of the nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation. If the starting lattice equation is integrable then the resulting NLS equation turns out to be integrable, while if the starting equation is linearizable we get a linear Schrodinger equation. On the other hand, if we start with a non-integrable lattice equation we may obtain a non-integrable NLS equation. This conjecture is confirmed by many examples., Comment: 12 pages

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., Comment: 10 pages, contribution to the proceedings of the NEEDS 2007 Conference

We present a discrete multiscale expansion of the lattice potential Korteweg-de Vries (lpKdV) equation on functions of infinite order of slow-varyness. To do so we introduce a formal expansion of the shift operator on many lattices holding at all orders. The lowest secularity condition from the expansion of the lpKdV equation gives a nonlinear lattice equation, depending on shifts of all orders, of the form of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equation, Comment: 9 pages, submitted to Journ. Phys. A

In this paper we present a set of results on the symmetries of the lattice Schwarzian Korteweg-de Vries (lSKdV) equation. We construct the Lie point symmetries and, using its associated spectral problem, an infinite sequence of generalized symmetries and master symmetries. We finally show that we can use master symmetries of the lSKdV equation to construct non-autonomous non-integrable generalized symmetries., Comment: 11 pages, no figures. Submitted to Jour. Phys.
