Popis: A three-step method due to Nijhoff and Bobenko & Suris to derive a Lax pair for scalar partial difference equations (P\Delta Es) is reviewed. The method assumes that the P\Delta Es are defined on a quadrilateral, and consistent around the cube. Next, the method is extended to systems of P\Delta Es where one has to carefully account for equations defined on edges of the quadrilateral. Lax pairs are presented for scalar integrable P\Delta Es classified by Adler, Bobenko, and Suris and systems of P\Delta Es including the integrable 2-component potential Korteweg-de Vries lattice system, as well as nonlinear Schroedinger and Boussinesq-type lattice systems. Previously unknown Lax pairs are presented for P\Delta Es recently derived by Hietarinta (J. Phys. A: Math. Theor., 44, 2011, Art. No. 165204). The method is algorithmic and is being implemented in Mathematica.
