Abstract:
We describe a family of $1+1$ classical integrable space-discrete models of the Landau–Lifshitz type through the usage of ansatz for $U$–$V$ (Lax) pair with spectral parameter satisfying the semi-discrete Zakharov–Shabat equation. The ansatz for $U$–$V$ pair is based on $R$-matrices satisfying the associative Yang–Baxter equation and certain additional properties. Equations of motion are obtained using a set of $R$-matrix identities. In the continuous limit we reproduce the previously known family of the higher rank Landau–Lifshitz equations.
