On the classification of nonlinear integrable three-dimensional chains by means of characteristic Lie algebras

Abstract

The article continues the work on the description of integrable nonlinear chains with three independent variables of the following form $u^j_{n+1,x}=u^j_{n,x}+f(u^{j+1}_{n}, u^{j}_n,u^j_{n+1 },u^{j-1}_{n+1})$ by the presence of a hierarchy of reductions integrable in the sense of Darboux, started in (1). The classification algorithm is based on the well-known fact that the characteristic algebras of Darboux integrable systems have a finite dimension. In this paper, we used the characteristic algebra in the direction $x$, whose structure for a given class of models is determined by some polynomial $P(λ)$, whose degree does not exceed three for known examples. The article assumes that $P(λ)=λ^2$, in this case the classification problem is reduced to finding eight unknown functions of one variable. In the paper, a rather narrow class of candidates for integrability is obtained, among which there is a new example of an integrable chain.
