Abstract

In this paper, we construct a new hierarchy based on the third q-discrete Painlevé equation (qPIII) and also study the hierarchy of the second q-discrete Painlevé equation (qPII). Both hierarchies are derived by using reductions of the general lattice modified Korteweg-de Vries equation. Our results include Lax pairs for both hierarchies and these turn out to be higher degree expansions of the non-resonant ones found by Joshi and Nakazono [29] for the second-order cases. We also obtain Bäcklund transformations for these hierarchies. Special q-rational solutions of the hierarchies are constructed and corresponding q-gamma functions that solve the associated linear problems are derived.
