Discrete integrable systems and condensation algorithms for Pfaffians

Abstract

Inspired by the connection between the Dodgson's condensation algorithm and Hirota's difference equation, we consider condensation algorithms for Pfaffians from the perspectives of discrete integrable systems. The discretisation of Pfaffian elements demonstrate its effectiveness to the Pfaffian $\tau$-functions and discrete integrable systems. The free parameter in the discretisation allows us in particular to obtain explicit, one-parameter condensation algorithms for the Pfaffians.
