On reductions of the discrete Kadomtsev-Petviashvili-type equations

The reduction by restricting the spectral parameters k and k′ on a generic algebraic curve of degree N is performed for the discrete AKP, BKP and CKP equations, respectively. A variety of two-dimensional discrete integrable systems possessing a more general solution structure arise from the reduction, and in each case a unified formula for the generic positive integer N ≥ 2 is given to express the corresponding reduced integrable lattice equations. The obtained extended two-dimensional lattice models give rise to many important integrable partial difference equations as special degenerations. Some new integrable lattice models such as the discrete Sawada-Kotera, Kaup-Kupershmidt and Hirota-Satsuma equations in extended form are given as examples within the framework.
