An integrable discretization of KdV at large times

An `exact discretization' of the Schrödinger operator is considered and its direct and inverse scattering problems are solved. It is shown that a differential-difference nonlinear evolution equation depending on two arbitrary constants can be solved by using this spectral transform and that for a special choice of the constants it can be considered an integrable discretization of the KdV equation at large times. An integrable difference-difference equation is also obtained.
