A New Negative Discrete Hierarchy and Its N-Fold Darboux Transformation

Starting from a matrix discrete spectral problem, we derive a negative discrete hierarchy. It is shown that the hierarchy is integrable in the Liouville sense and possesses a bi-Hamiltonian structure. Furthermore, its N-fold Darboux transformation is established with the help of gauge transformation of Lax pair. As an application of the Darboux transformation, some new exact solutions for a discrete equation in the negative hierarchy are obtained.
