On Generating Discrete Integrable Systems via Lie Algebras and Commutator Equations

In the paper,we introduce the Lie algebras and the commutator equations to rewrite the Tu-d scheme for generating discrete integrable systems regularly.By the approach the various loop algebras of the Lie algebra A_1are defined so that the well-known Toda hierarchy and a novel discrete integrable system are obtained,respectively.A reduction of the later hierarchy is just right the famous Ablowitz-Ladik hierarchy.Finally,via two different enlarging Lie algebras of the Lie algebra A_1,we derive two resulting differential-difference integrable couplings of the Toda hierarchy,of course,they are all various discrete expanding integrable models of the Toda hierarchy.When the introduced spectral matrices are higher degrees,the way presented in the paper is more convenient to generate discrete integrable equations than the Tu-d scheme by using the software Maple.
