“…And like their counterparts analyzed above, the integrability properties of (5.2) are important for several practical applications. Naturally, it would be interesting to apply our direct gradient-holonomic integrability approach to the hierarchy (5.2) and find its differential-difference analog using the known [31,32,34] corresponding Lax representations. As one can easily check, one of the discrete analogs of the corresponding linear Lax "spectral" problem for (5.1) for s = 2 has the form ∆f n = l n [u, z; λ]f n , l n [u, z; λ] := 1 − λD n u n −D n z n 2λ 2 1 + λD n u n ,…”
