A new integrable case of the motion of the 4-dimensional rigid body

A Lax pair for a new family of integrable systems on SO(4) is presented. The construction makes use of a twisted loop algebra of theG ₂ Lie algebra. We also describe a general scheme producing integrable cases of the generalized rigid body motion in an external field which have a Lax representation with spectral parameter. Several other examples of multi-dimensional tops are discussed.     

Integrable dissipative nonlinear second order differential equations via factorizations and Abel equations

We emphasize two connections, one well known and another less known, between the dissipative nonlinear second order differential equations and the Abel equations which in their first-kind form have only cubic and quadratic terms. Then, employing an old integrability criterion due to Chiellini, we introduce the corresponding integrable dissipative equations. For illustration, we present the cases of some integrable dissipative Fisher, nonlinear pendulum, and Burgers–Huxley type equations which are obtained in this way and can be of interest in applications. We also show how to obtain Abel solutions directly from the factorization of second order nonlinear equations.

On an integrable discretization of integrable systems with a separatrix

An integrable time-discretization of integrable Hamiltonian systems with a separatrix is considered being based on Hirota's bilinear formalism. It is proved that a discrete-time simple pendulum has a complete set of exact solutions, a conserved quantity and a separatrix. The value of the conserved quantity which characterizes the separatrix is remarkably congruent with the value of the continuous-time Hamiltonian. A discrete-time anharmonic oscillator is also shown to have the same property.

Coupled scalar field equations for nonlinear wave modulations in dispersive media

A review of the generic features as well as the exact analytical solutions of a class of coupled scalar field equations governing nonlinear wave modulations in dispersive media like plasmas is presented. The equations are derivable from a Hamiltonian function which, in most cases, has the unusual property that the associated kinetic energy is not positive definite. To start with, a simplified derivation of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation for the coupling of an amplitude modulated high-frequency wave to a suitable low-frequency wave is discussed. Coupled sets of time-evolution equations like the Zakharov system, the Schrödinger-Boussinesq system and the Schrödinger-Korteweg-de Vries system are then introduced. For stationary propagation of the coupled waves, the latter two systems yield a generic system of a pair of coupled, ordinary differential equations with many free parameters. Different classes of exact analytical solutions of the generic system of equations are then reviewed. A comparison between the various sets of governing equations as well as between their exact analytical solutions is presented. Parameter regimes for the existence of different types of localized solutions are also discussed. The generic system of equations has a Hamiltonian structure, and is closely related to the well-known Hénon-Heiles system which has been extensively studied in the field of nonlinear dynamics. In fact, the associated generic Hamiltonian is identically the same as the generalized Hénon-Heiles Hamiltonian for the case of coupled waves in a magnetized plasma with negative group dispersion. When the group dispersion is positive, there exists a novel Hamiltonian which is structurally same as the generalized Hénon-Heiles Hamiltonian but with indefinite kinetic energy. The above correspondence between the two systems has been exploited to obtain the parameter regimes for the complete integrability of the coupled waves. There exists a direct one-to-one correspondence between the known integrable cases of the generic Hamiltonian and the stationary Hamiltonian flows associated with the only integrable nonlinear evolution equations (of polynomial and autonomous type) with a scale-weight of seven. The relevance of the generic system to other equations like the self-dual Yang-Mills equations, the complex Korteweg-de Vries equation and the complexified classical dynamical equations has also been discussed.     

Coupled whistler and ion-acoustic mode propagation in two-electron-temperature plasmas

The nonlinear coupling between whistler and ion-acoustic modes in a plasma having bi-Maxwellian distributed electrons is considered. For stationary propagation, the coupled waves lead to a novel nonlinear structure which has a triple-hump profile for the whistler field intensity. In the critical parameter regime (Δ = 3), only supersonic propagation of the coupled modes is allowed. In other regimes, three integrable cases of the coupled mode propagation have been identified.     

Hamiltonian monodromy via geometric quantization and theta functions

In this paper, Hamiltonian monodromy is addressed from the point of view of geometric quantization, and various differential geometric aspects thereof are dealt with, all related to holonomies of suitable flat connections. In the case of completely integrable Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom, a link is established between monodromy and (two-level) theta functions, by resorting to the by now classical differential geometric interpretation of the latter as covariantly constant sections of a flat connection, via the heat equation. Furthermore, it is shown that monodromy is tied to the braiding of the Weierstraß roots pertaining to a Lagrangian torus, when endowed with a natural complex structure (making it an elliptic curve) manufactured from a natural basis of cycles thereon. Finally, a new derivation of the monodromy of the spherical pendulum is provided.     

Double Integrable Couplings and Their Constructing Method

To extend the study scopes of integrable couplings, the notion of double integrable couplings is proposed in the paper. The zero curvature equation appearing in the constructing method built in the paper consists of the elements of a new loop algebra which is obtained by using perturbation method. Therefore, the approach given in the paper has extensive applicablevalues, that is, it applies to investigate a lot of double integrable couplings of the known integrable hierarchies of evolution equations. As for explicit applications of the method proposed in the paper, the double integrable couplings of the AKNS hierarchy and the KN hierarchy are worked out, respectively.     

Two-parameter extended Hubbard Hamiltonian with supersymmetry

We investigate under which circumstances extended Hubbard models, including bond-charge, exchange, and pair-hopping terms, are invariant under gl (2,1) superalgebra. This happens for a two-parameter Hamiltonian which includes as particular cases the t - J, the EKS and the one-parameter BGLZ Hamiltonians, all integrable in one dimension. We show that the two parameter Hamiltonian can be recasted as the sum of the BGLZ Hamiltonian plus the graded permutation operator of electronic states on neighbouring sites. The integrability of the corresponding one-dimensional model is discussed. Received: 17 February 1998 / Received in final form: 6 March 1998 / Accepted: 17 April 1998

Two types of Lie algebras are presented, from which two integrable couplings associated with the Tu isospectral problem are obtained, respectively. One of them possesses the Hamiltonian structure generated by a linear isomorphism and the quadratic-form identity. An approach for working out the double integrable couplings of the same integrable system is presented in the paper.

Lie Algebras Associated with Group U(n)

Starting from the subgroups of the group U(n), the corresponding Lie algebras of the Lie algebra A1 are presented, from which two well-known simple equivalent matrix Lie algebras are given. It follows that a few expanding Lie algebras are obtained by enlarging matrices. Some of them can be devoted to producing double integrable couplings of the soliton hierarchies of nonlinear evolution equations. Others can be used to generate integrable couplings involving more potential functions. The above Lie algebras are classified into two types. Only one type can generate the integrable couplings, whose Hamiltonian structure could be obtained by use of the quadratic-form identity. In addition, one condition on searching for integrable couplings is improved such that more useful Lie algebras are enlightened to engender. Then two explicit examples are shown to illustrate the applications of the Lie algebras. Finally, with the help of closed cycling operation relations, another way of producing higher-dimensional Lie algebras is given.     

Peregrine solitons and gradient catastrophes in discrete nonlinear Schrödinger systems

In the present work, we examine the potential robustness of extreme wave events associated with large amplitude fluctuations of the Peregrine soliton type, upon departure from the integrable analogue of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation, namely the Ablowitz–Ladik (AL) model. Our model of choice will be the so-called Salerno model, which interpolates between the AL and the DNLS models. We find that rogue wave events are drastically distorted even for very slight perturbations of the homotopic parameter connecting the two models off of the integrable limit. Our results suggest that the Peregrine soliton structure is a rather sensitive feature of the integrable limit, which may not persist under “generic” perturbations of the limiting integrable case.

Positive and Negative Hierarchies of Integrable Lattice Models Associated with a Hamiltonian Pair

A difference Hamiltonian operator involving two arbitrary constants is presented, and it is used to construct a pair of nondegenerate Hamiltonian operators. The resulting Hamiltonian pair yields two difference hereditary operators, and the associated positive and negative hierarchies of nonlinear integrable lattice models are derived through the bi-Hamiltonian formulation. Moreover, the two lattice hierarchies are proved to have discrete zero curvature representations associated with a discrete spectral problem, which also shows that the positive and negative hierarchies correspond to positive and negative power expansions of Lax operators with respect to the spectral parameter, respectively. The use of zero curvature equation leads us to conclude that all resulting integrable lattice models are local and that the integrable lattice models in the positive hierarchy are of polynomial type and the integrable lattice models in the negative hierarchy are of rational type.     

Multi-component hierarchies of double bracket equations

A new integrable hierarchy, with equations defined by double brackets of two matrix pseudo-differential operators (Lax pairs), is constructed. Some algebraic properties are demonstrated. It is also shown that each equation is equivalent to a certain gradient flow. A new version of the Zakharov-Shabat type equations is proved. Formal solutions of this hierarchy are constructed using a matrix “double bracket bilinear identity”.     

A Corresponding Lie Algebra of a Reductive homogeneous Group and Its Applications

With the help of a Lie algebra of a reductive homogeneous space G/K, where G is a Lie group and K is a resulting isotropy group, we introduce a Lax pair for which an expanding(2+1)-dimensional integrable hierarchy is obtained by applying the binormial-residue representation(BRR) method, whose Hamiltonian structure is derived from the trace identity for deducing(2+1)-dimensional integrable hierarchies, which was proposed by Tu, et al. We further consider some reductions of the expanding integrable hierarchy obtained in the paper. The first reduction is just right the(2+1)-dimensional AKNS hierarchy, the second-type reduction reveals an integrable coupling of the(2+1)-dimensional AKNS equation(also called the Davey-Stewartson hierarchy), a kind of(2+1)-dimensional Schr¨odinger equation, which was once reobtained by Tu, Feng and Zhang. It is interesting that a new(2+1)-dimensional integrable nonlinear coupled equation is generated from the reduction of the part of the(2+1)-dimensional integrable coupling, which is further reduced to the standard(2+1)-dimensional diffusion equation along with a parameter. In addition, the well-known(1+1)-dimensional AKNS hierarchy, the(1+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation are all special cases of the(2+1)-dimensional expanding integrable hierarchy. Finally, we discuss a few discrete difference equations of the diffusion equation whose stabilities are analyzed by making use of the von Neumann condition and the Fourier method. Some numerical solutions of a special stationary initial value problem of the(2+1)-dimensional diffusion equation are obtained and the resulting convergence and estimation formula are investigated.     

Some aspects on the electromagnetic-impulse pendulum and Biot-Savart-Lorentz force

Summary The purpose of this paper is to cast light on various serious mistakes which have been involved during the analysis of two experiments, related to the correctness of the Biot-Savart-Lorentz force law. At first in the MIT experiment, carried out by Graneauet al., they claim that the calculated momentum, imparted to an electrodynamic-impulse pendulum, using the BSL force law, is 43% larger than the experimentally measured momentum of the pi-frame pendulum. We have found that this discrepancy, using their own data,is due to the use of a wrong value for the time constant parameter introduced in the current formula. In addition Pappas, like Graneau, although states that all the available energy is dissipated to Joule heating, considers that all the pendulum momentum is imparted to field momentum yielding an enormous amount of field-radiated energy, which is also completely wrong. To speed up pubblication, the authors of this paper have agreed to not receive the proofs for correction.
