Factorization of a hierarchy of the lattice soliton equations from a binary Bargmann symmetry constraint Original Research Article

Staring from a discrete spectral problem, a hierarchy of the lattice soliton equations is derived. It is shown that each lattice equation in resulting hierarchy is Liouville integrable discrete Hamiltonian system. The binary nonlinearization of the Lax pairs and the adjoint Lax pairs of the resulting hierarchy is discussed. Each lattice soliton equation in the resulting hierarchy can be factored by an integrable symplectic map and a finite-dimensional integrable system in Liouville sense. Especially, factorization of a discrete Kdv equation is given.
