Abstract
In this paper I give a short review on the continuous, semi-discrete and discrete Burgers equations, which are featured as integrable equations that are linearisable. The review focuses more on connections of these three kinds of equations and connections with (2+1)-dimensional systems. The continuous Burgers hierarchy is a reduction of the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger hierarchy. The later is a result of the squared eigenfunction symmetry constraint of the modified Kadomtsev–Petviashvili system. The semi-discrete Burgers hierarchy can be considered as Bäcklund transformations of the continuous Burgers hierarchy. They are also reductions of the relativistic Toda hierarchy, which is a consequence of the squared eigenfunction symmetry constraint of the semi-discrete modified Kadomtsev–Petviashvili system. The fully discrete Burgers equation is the Bianchi identity of the Bäcklund transformation for the continuous Burgers hierarchy. It is 3-point lattice equation, three-dimensionally consistent, and linearisable.
