Review text

The elliptic 2+1 Toda equation (the generalization of the classical Toda lattice equation) \[ (\partial_{xx}+\partial_{yy})\theta (x,n,y)=2\{e^{2(\theta_{n+1}-\theta_n)} -e^{\theta_n -\theta_{n-1}}\}\tag{1} \] is considered with two variables \((x, y)\) real and continuous and one (\(n=(-\infty,\dots,\infty)\)) discrete. The existence of the Lax pair for this equation was proved in [\textit{J. Villarroel} and \textit{M. J. Ablowitz}, Physica D 65, No. 1-2, 48-70 (1993; Zbl 0771.35065); for the hyperbolic version see \textit{A. V. Mikhailov}, Sov. Phys. JETP Lett. 30, 555-566 (1979)]. In the present paper exact solutions to (1) are obtained by means of the inverse scattering problem. The solutions are real, analytic and decay when \(y^2+n^2+x^2\to \infty\).
