Suppose that there is a solution such that for all sufficiently large n, yn ∈ ℚ and the height of yn dominates the height of the coefficient functions an, bn and cn. We show that if the logarithmic height of yn grows no faster than a power of n then either the equation is a well known discrete Painlevé equation dPII or its autonomous version or yn is also an admissible solution of a discrete Riccati equation. This provides further evidence that slow height growth is a good detector of integrability. date: 2015-07 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0951-7715/28/7/2379 vfaculties: VMPS oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_source: Manually entered elements_id: 912856 doi: 10.1088/0951-7715/28/7/2379 lyricists_name: Halburd, Rodney lyricists_id: RHALB06 full_text_status: public publication: Nonlinearity volume: 28 number: 7 pagerange: 2379-2396 issn: 0951-7715 citation: Al-Ghassani, A; Halburd, RG; (2015) Height growth of solutions and a discrete Painlevé equation.
