Miura transformations for Toda--type integrable systems, with applications to the problem of integrable discretizations
Abstract
We study lattice Miura transformations for the Toda and Volterra lattices, relativistic Toda and Volterra lattices, and their modifications. In particular, we give three successive modifications for the Toda lattice, two for the Volterra lattice and for the relativistic Toda lattice, and one for the relativistic Volterra lattice. We discuss Poisson properties of the Miura transformations, their permutability properties, and their role as localizing changes of variables in the theory of integrable discretizations.
