K. Kajiwara et al., CASORATI DETERMINANT SOLUTIONS FOR THE DISCRETE PAINLEVE-II EQUATION, Journal of physics. A, mathematical and general, 27(3), 1994, pp. 915-922
We present a class of solutions to the discrete Painleve-II equation f
or particular values of its parameters. It is shown that these solutio
ns can be expressed in terms of Casorati determinants whose entries ar
e discrete Airy functions. The analogy between the tau function for th
e discrete P(II) and that of the discrete Toda molecule equation is po
inted out.
