Discrete Painlevé Equations
Share this pageNalini Joshi
A co-publication of the AMS and CBMS
Discrete Painlevé equations are nonlinear difference equations,
which arise from translations on crystallographic lattices. The
deceptive simplicity of this statement hides immensely rich
mathematical properties, connecting dynamical systems, algebraic
geometry, Coxeter groups, topology, special functions theory, and
mathematical physics.
This book necessarily starts with introductory
material to give the reader an accessible entry point to this vast
subject matter. It is based on lectures that the author presented as
principal lecturer at a Conference Board of Mathematical Sciences and
National Science Foundation conference in Texas in 2016. Instead of
technical theorems or complete proofs, the book relies on providing
essential points of many arguments through explicit examples, with the
hope that they will be useful for applied mathematicians and
physicists.
Readership
Graduate students and researchers interested in integrable systems, mathematical physics, applied mathematics and special functions, as well as resolution of singularities, dynamical systems, and birational geometry.
