Non-commutative q-Painleve VI equation

Abstract

By applying suitable centrality condition to non-commutative non-isospectral lattice modified Gel'fand-Dikii type systems we obtain the corresponding non-autonomous equations. Then we derive non-commutative q-discrete Painleve VI equation with full range of parameters as the (2,2) similarity reduction of the non-commutative, non-isospectral and non-autonomous lattice modified Korteweg-de Vries equation. We also comment on the fact that in making the analogous reduction starting from Schwarzian Korteweg-de Vries equation no such "non-isospectral generalization" is needed.
