Coalgebra symmetry for discrete systems

In this paper we introduce the notion of coalgebra symmetry for discrete systems. With this concept we prove that all discrete radially symmetric systems in standard form are quasi-integrable and that all variational discrete quasi-radially symmetric systems in standard form are Poincaré–Lyapunov–Nekhoroshev maps of order N − 2, where N are the degrees of freedom of the system. We also discuss the integrability properties of several vector systems which are generalisations of well-known one degree of freedom discrete integrable systems, including two N degrees of freedom autonomous discrete Painlevé I equations and an N degrees of freedom McMillan map.
