We treat the lattice sine-Gordon equation and two of its generalised symmetries as a compatible system. Elimination of shifts from the two symmetries of the lattice sine-Gordon equation yields an integrable NLS-type system. An auto-Bäcklund transformation and a superposition formula for the NLS-type system is obtained by elimination of shifts from the lattice sine-Gordon equation and its down-shifted version. We use the obtained formulae to calculate a superposition of two and three elementary solutions.

A Lie algebra which consists of linear combinations of one basis of the Lie algebra A1 is presented for which an isospectral Lax pair is exhibited. By using the zero curvature equation, the generalized mKdV equation, Liouville equation and sine-Gordon equation, sinh-Gordon equation are generated via polynomial expansions. Finally, we investigate a kind of formal Bäcklund transformation for the generalized sine-Gordon equation. The explicit Bäcklund transformation of the standard sine-Gordon equation is presented. The other equations given in the paper are obtained similarly.

In his 1892 paper, L. Bianchi noticed, among other things, that quite simple transformations of the formulas that describe the Bäcklund transformation of the sine-Gordon equation lead to what is called a nonlocal conservation law in modern language. Using the techniques of differential coverings, we show that this observation is of a quite general nature. We describe the procedures to construct such conservation laws and present a number of illustrative examples.
