  The method of multiscale analysis is constructed for dicrete systems of
evolution equations for which the problem is that of the far behavior of an
input boundary datum. Discrete slow space variables are introduced in a general
setting and the related finite differences are constructed. The method is
applied to a series of representative examples: the Toda lattice, the nonlinear
Klein-Gordon chain, the Takeno system and a discrete version of the
Benjamin-Bona-Mahoney equation. Among the resulting limit models we find a
discrete nonlinear Schroedinger equation (with reversed space-time), a 3-wave
resonant interaction system and a discrete modified Volterra model.
