Lax integrable nonlinear partial difference equations

A systematic investigation to derive nonlinear lattice equations governed by partial difference equations admitting specific Lax representation is presented. Further whether or not the identified lattice equations possess other characteristics of integrability namely Consistency Around the Cube (CAC) property and linearizability through a global transformation is analyzed. Also it is presented that how to derive higher order ordinary difference equations or mappings from the obtained lattice equations through periodic reduction and investigated whether they are measure preserving or linearizable and admit sufficient number of integrals leading to their integrability.
