This paper focusses on discrete systems having a rational evolution, namely such that the system belongs to some finite-dimensional space, and its state at time \(t+1\) is expressible in terms of its state at time \(t\) through rational functions. To any such system an entropy is associated (called algebraic entropy), and its nonvanishing is used as an index of nonintegrability. Conversely, the notion of integrability becomes in this setting equivalent to a shift in some Abelian variety. Examples are provided, as well as comparisons with other notions of integrability for discrete systems (and of ``analyticity for such systems, in the context of Painlevé-type approaches). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0943.00052].
