In Ref. [1] the authors exhibit “new” integrable differentialdifference systems rn+1 rn + − rn sn , rnt = −rn rn−1 rn rn+1 rn snt = sn (1) − , rn−1 rn and rn , sn rn+1 rn = − rn sn+1 rn−1 sn−1
rnτ = − snτ

with n ∈ Z. This equations stem from suitable discrete zerocurvature equation1 d Un − EΓn[m] Un + Un Γn[m] = 0 dt

The former is well-known infinite relativistic Toda lattice (RTL) in polynomial form. This system was introduced by Ruijsenaars [2] and then thoroughly studied by many authors from different points of view. For consulting, see, for example, Refs. [3–9]. The latter is the symmetry of RTL. It is common of knowledge that RTL (3) admits Hamiltonian form with standard symplectic structure w = n∈Z dpn ∧ dqn . To write it in this form one needs to use following ansatz: dn = epn ,
cn = epn +qn −qn+1 .
Then one has qnt = epn 1 + eqn −qn+1 , pnt = epn−1 +qn−1 −qn − epn +qn −qn+1 from which one obtains RTL in its exponential form qn+1,t eqn −qn+1 qn−1,t eqn−1 −qn qntt = qnt − . 1 + eqn−1 −qn 1 + eqn −qn+1
with some 2 × 2 matrices Un and Γn[m] . Let us introduce the variables cn and dn through cn =
and
dn = sn−1 .
As for symmetry (4), one can write 1 1 + eqn−1 −qn 1 + eqn −qn+1 . qnt
Then Eqs. (1) and (2) become
qnτ =
cnt = cn (cn−1 − cn+1 + dn − dn+1 ),
This symmetry is also well-known [10]. Moreover this kind of symmetries admit a whole class of RTL type systems.
dnt = dn (cn−1 − cn )
