Deriving conservation laws for ABS lattice equations from Lax pairs (Q2841099)

Let \(Q(u,\widetilde{u}, \widehat{u}, \widehat{\widetilde{u}},p,q)=0\) be a partial difference equation, where \(u=u(n,m)\), \(\widetilde{u}=u(n+1,m)\), \(\widehat{u}=u(n,m+1)\), \(\widehat{\widetilde{u}}=u(n+1,m+1)\) and \(p\), \(q\) are spacing parameters of direction \(n\) and \(m\), respectively.NEWLINENEWLINEThe authors consider nine equations of the above type (the ABS list of \textit{V. E. Adler} et al. [Commun. Math. Phys. 233, No. 3, 513--543 (2003; Zbl 1075.37022)]) and, following the abstract of the paper under review, ``we derive infinitely many conservation laws for ABS lattice equations from their Lax pairs. These conservation laws can be algebraically expressed by means of some known polynomials. For each equation, the infinitely many conservation laws are not equivalent and are nontrivial. We also show that the (H1), (H2), (H3), (Q1), (Q2), Q(3) and (A1) equations in the ABS list share a generic discrete Riccati equation.''
