The hunting for the discrete Painlev\'e VI is over

We introduce a ultradiscretization with parity variables of the $q$-difference Painlev\'e VI system of equations. We show that ultradiscrete limit of Riccati-type solutions of $q$-Painlev\'e VI satisfies the ultradiscrete Painlev\'e VI system of equations with the parity variables, which is valid by using the parity variables. We study some solutions of the ultradiscrete Riccati-type equation and those of ultradiscrete Painlev\'e VI equation.

We present the bilinear forms of the (continuous) Painlev\'e equations obtained from the continuous limit of the analogous expresssions for the discrete ones. The advantage of this method is that it leads to very symmetrical results. A new and interesting result is the bilinearization of the P$_{\rm VI}$ equation, something that was missing till now.

This Letter presents a reduction of the lattice modified Korteweg-de-Vries equation that gives rise to a $q$-analogue of the sixth Painlev\'e equation. This new approach allows us to give the first ultradiscrete Lax representation of an ultradiscrete analogue of the sixth Painlev\'e equation.

An ultradiscrete system corresponding to the $q$-Painlev\'e equation of type $A_6^{(1)}$, which is a $q$-difference analogue of the second Painlev\'e equation, is proposed. Exact solutions with two parameters are constructed for the ultradiscrete system.

A q-difference analogue of the Painlev\'e III equation is considered. Its derivations, affine Weyl group symmetry, and two kinds of special function type solutions are discussed.

Starting from the standard form of the five discrete Painlev\'e equations we show how one can obtain (through appropriate limits) a host of new equations which are also the discrete analogues of the continuous Painlev\'e equations. A particularly interesting technique is the one based on the assumption that some simplification takes place in the autonomous form of the mapping following which the deautonomization leads to a new $n$-dependence and introduces more new discrete P...

We study the asymptotic behaviour of two multiplicative- ($q$-) discrete Painlev\'e equations as their respective independent variable goes to infinity. It is shown that the generic asymptotic behaviours are given by elliptic functions. We extend the method of averaging to these equations to show that the energies are slowly varying. The Picard-Fuchs equation is derived for a special case of $q$-P$_{\rm III}$

We show that the recently derived ($q$-) discrete form of the Painlev\'e VI equation can be related to the discrete P$_{\rm III}$, in particular if one uses the full freedom in the implementation of the singularity confinement criterion. This observation is used here in order to derive the bilinear forms and the Schlesinger transformations of both $q$-P$_{\rm III}$ and $q$-P$_{\rm VI}$.

We present particular solutions of the discrete Painlev\'e III (d-P$\rm_{III}$) equation of rational and special function (Bessel) type. These solutions allow us to establish a close parallel between this discrete equation and its continuous counterpart. Moreover, we propose an alternate form for d-P$\rm_{III}$ and confirm its integrability by explicitly deriving its Lax pair.

A new integrable nonautonomous nonlinear ordinary difference equation is presented which can be considered to be a discrete analogue of the Painleve V equation. Its derivation is based on the similarity reduction on the two-dimensional lattice of integrable partial difference equations of KdV type. The new equation which is referred to as GDP (generalised discrete Painleve equation) contains various ``discrete Painleve equations'' as subcases for special values/limits of the ...
