abstract:
 
In a recent paper we introduced a new 2 + 1-dimensional non-isospectral extension of the Volterra lattice hierarchy, along with its corresponding hierarchy of underlying linear problems. Here we consider reductions of this lattice hierarchy to hierarchies of discrete equations, which we obtain once again along with their hierarchy of underling linear problems. We obtain a generalized discrete first Painlevé hierarchy which includes as special cases, after further summation, both the standard discrete first Painlevé hierarchy and a new extended version of the discrete thirty-fourth Painlevé hierarchy.
