Abstract
With the help of the Schlesinger transformations, we obtain the B¨acklund transformations of the classical continuous Painlev´e equations (PII-PVI). Then using these B¨acklund transformations we derived the corresponding discrete equations. The main idea in obtaining these equations is to eliminate y 0 from the B¨acklund transformations, Ti and Tj , in such a way that Ti ◦ Tj = Tj ◦ Ti = I. Then we obtain an algebraic relation between yi , y and yj . This algebraic relation can be considered as as a discrete equation of the Painlev´e type.
