The algebro-geometric Toda hierarchy initial value problem for complex-valued initial data.
The Stieltjes spectral matrix measure of the doubly infinite Jacobi matrix associated with a Toda -soliton is computed, using Sato theory. The result is used to give an explicit expansion of the fundamental solution of some discrete heat equations, in a series of Jackson’s -Bessel functions. For Askey-Wilson type solitons, this expansion reduces to a finite sum.
