Non-autonomous multidimensional Toda system and multiple interpolation problem

We study the interpolation analogue of the Hermite–Padé type I approximation problem. We provide its determinant solution and we write down the corresponding integrable discrete system as an admissible reduction of Hirota’s discrete Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equations. Apart from the τ -function form of the system we provide its variant, which in the simplest case of dimension two reduces to the non-autonomous discrete-time Toda equations.
