Hankel determinant solutions to several discrete integrable systems and the Laurent Property
Abstract
Many discrete integrable systems exhibit the Laurent phenomenon. In this paper, we investigate three integrable systems: the Somos-4 recurrence, the Somos-5 recurrence and a system related to so-called A1 Q-system, whose general solutions are derived in terms of Hankel determinant. As a result, we directly confirm that they satisfy the Laurent property. Additionally, it is shown that the Somos-5 recurrence can be viewed as a specified B\"acklund transformation of the Somos-4 recurrence. The related topics about Somos polynomials are also studied.
