A Family of Integrable Differential-Difference Equations: Tri-Hamiltonian Structure and Lie Algebra of Vector Fields
Abstract
Starting from a novel discrete spectral problem, a family of integrable differential-difference equations is derived through discrete zero curvature equation. And then, tri-Hamiltonian structure of the whole family is established by the discrete trace identity. It is shown that the obtained family is Liouville-integrable. Next, a nonisospectral integrable family associated with the discrete spectral problem is constructed through nonisospectral discrete zero curvature representation. Finally, Lie algebra of isospectral and nonisospectral vector fields is deduced.
