The Fredholm determinant method for discrete integrable evolution equations (Q1113383)

The Fredholm determinant method defines in an explicit way a mapping from a linear evolution equation to a nonlinear soliton equation. Here, the method is extended to discrete soliton equations like the Toda and Langmuir lattice equations. Though the discrete version looks very similar to the continuous one, the proof is quite different. Explicit solution formulas are given, and the continuous limiting case is considered.
