In Part I [arXiv:0902.4873 [nlin.SI]] soliton solutions to the ABS list of multi-dimensionally consistent difference equations (except Q4) were derived using connection between the Q3 equation and the NQC equations, and then by reductions. In that work central role was played by a Cauchy matrix. In this work we use a different approach, we derive the $N$-soliton solutions following Hirota's direct and constructive method. This leads to Casoratians and bilinear difference equa...

In this paper, we propose a finite Toda lattice of CKP type (C-Toda) together with a Lax pair. Our motivation is based on the fact that the Camassa-Holm (CH) peakon dynamical system and the finite Toda lattice may be regarded as opposite flows in some sense. As an intriguing analogue to the CH equation, the Degasperis-Procesi (DP) equation also supports the presence of peakon solutions. Noticing that the peakon solution to the DP equation is expressed in terms of bimoment det...

This is a review article on a tropical geometric realization of the ultradiscrete periodic Toda lattice (UD-pTL). Time evolution of the UD-pTL is translated into an addition on the Picard group of its spectral curve, which is a tropical hyperelliptic curve of arbitrary genus depending on the system size. The addition on the Picard group can be realized by using intersection of several tropical plane curves, one of which is the spectral curve. In addition, the tropical eigenve...

This is the second part of a series of papers dealing with an extensive class of analytic difference operators admitting reflectionless eigenfunctions. In the first part, the pertinent difference operators and their reflectionless eigenfunctions are constructed from given ``spectral data'', in analogy with the IST for reflectionless Schr\"odinger and Jacobi operators. In the present paper, we introduce a suitable time dependence in the data, arriving at explicit solutions to ...

The lattice Boussinesq equation (BSQ) is a three-component difference-difference equation defined on an elementary square of the 2D lattice, having 3D consistency. We write the equations in the Hirota bilinear form and construct their multisoliton solutions in terms of Casoratians, following the methodology in our previous papers. In the construction it turns out that instead of the usual discretization of the exponential as $[(a+k)/(a-k)]^n$ we need two different terms $[(a-...

We have derived a non-abelian analog for the two-dimensional discrete Toda lattice which possesses solutions in terms of quasideterminants and admits Lax pairs of different forms. Its connection with non-abelian analogs for several well-known (1+1) and one-dimensional lattices is discussed. In particular, we consider a non-commutative analog of the scheme: discrete Toda equations $\rightarrow$ Somos-$N$ sequences $\rightarrow$ discrete Painlev\'e equations.

The duality between a class of the Davey-Stewartson type coupled systems and a class of two-dimensional Toda type lattices is discussed. For the recently found integrable lattice the hierarchy of symmetries is described. Second and third order symmetries are presented in explicit form. Corresponding coupled systems are given. An original method for constructing exact solutions to coupled systems is suggested based on the Darboux integrable reductions of the dressing chains. S...

We present a variational theory of integrable differential-difference equations (semi-discrete integrable systems). This is a natural extension of the ideas known by the names "Lagrangian multiforms" and "Pluri-Lagrangian systems", which have previously been established in both the fully discrete and fully continuous cases. The main feature of these ideas is to capture a hierarchy of commuting equations in a single variational principle. Our main example to illustrate the new...

Quantum Toda lattice may solved by means of the Representation Theory of semisimple Lie groups, or alternatively by using the technique of the Quantum Inverse Scattering Method. A comparison of the two approaches, which is the purpose of the present review article, sheds a new light on Representation Theory and leads to a number of challenging questions.

It is shown that some special reduction of infinite 1D Toda lattice gives differential constraints compatible with the Kaup -- Broer system. A family of the travelling wave solutions of the Kaup -- Broer system and its higher version is constructed.
