Abstract

The construction and role of symmetries for difference equations have been established, relatively, recently. In this paper, a symmetry analysis and reductions of the discrete Painlevé equations are considered. We assume that the characteristics of the ‘vector fields’ have a particular dependence since the general form lead to cumbersome calculations. Where possible, these symmetries are used to construct exact solutions in some cases.
