Invariant manifolds and Lax pairs for integrable nonlinear chains

We continue the previously started study of the development of a direct method for constructing the Lax pair for a given integrable equation. This approach does not require any addition assumptions about the properties of the equation. As one equation of the Lax pair, we take the linearization of the considered nonlinear equation, and the second equation of the pair is related to its generalized invariant manifold. The problem of seeking the second equation reduces to simple but rather cumbersome calculations and, as examples show, is effectively solvable. It is remarkable that the second equation of this pair allows easily finding a recursion operator describing the hierarchy of higher symmetries of the equation. At first glance, the Lax pairs thus obtained differ from usual ones in having a higher order or a higher matrix dimensionality. We show with examples that they reduce to the usual pairs by reducing their order. As an example, we consider an integrable double discrete system of exponential type and its higher symmetry for which we give the Lax pair and construct the conservation laws.     

Two expanding integrable systems and quasi-Hamiltonian function associated with an equation hierarchy

A Lie algebra sl(2) which is isomorphic to the known Lie algebra A₁ is introduced for which an isospectral Lax pair is presented, whose compatibility condition leads to a soliton-equation hierarchy. By using the trace identity, its Hamiltonian structure is obtained. Especially, as its reduction cases, a Sine equation and a complex modified KdV(cmKdV) equation are obtained,respectively. Then we enlarge the sl(2) into a bigger Lie algebra sl(4) so that a type of expanding integrable model of the hierarchy is worked out. However, the soliton-equation hierarchy is not integrable couplings. In order to generate the integrable couplings, an isospectral Lax pair is introduced. Under the frame of the zero curvature equation, we generate an integrable coupling whose quasi-Hamiltonian function is derived by employing the variational identity. Finally, two types of computing formulas of the constant γ are obtained, respectively.     

一类非线性演化方程族的可积耦合

Starting from a Tu Guizhang‘s isospectral‘problem, a Lax pair is obtained by means of Tu scheme ( we call it Tu Lax pair ). By applying a gauge transformation between matrices, the Tu Lax pair is changed to its equivalent Lax pair with the traces of spectral matrices being zero, whose compatibility gives rise to a type of Tu hierarchy of equations. By making use of a high order loop algebra constructed by us, an integrable coupling system of the Tu hierarchy of equations are presented. Especially, as reduction cases, the integrable couplings of the celebrated AKNS hierarchy, TD hierarchy and Levi hierarchy are given at the same time.

Symmetry reductions of the Lax pair for the 2 + 1-dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky equation

Based on the symbolic computational system – Maple, the similarity reduction arising from the classical Lie point symmetries of the Lax pair for the 2 + 1-dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky (KD) equation, is carried out. We obtain several interesting reductions. By analyzing not only the reduced Lax pair but also the KD equation reduced under the same symmetry group, we find that the reduced Lax pairs do not always lead to the reduced KD equation.     

Isothermic Surfaces in Spaces of Arbitrary Dimension: Integrability, Discretization, and Bäcklund Transformations—A Discrete Calapso Equation

A vector analog of the classical Calapso equation governing isothermic surfaces in R ^{n +2} is introduced. It is shown that this vector Calapso system admits a nonlocal) scalar Lax pair based on the classical Moutard equation. The analog of Darboux's Bäcklund transformation for isothermic surfaces in R³ is derived in a systematic manner and shown that it may be formulated in terms of the classical Moutard transformation acting on the scalar Lax pair. A permutability theorem for isothermic surfaces is set down that manifests itself in an explicit superposition principle for the vector Calapso system. This superposition principle in vectorial form is shown to constitute an integrable discretization of the vector Calapso system and, therefore, defines discrete isothermic surfaces in R ^{n +2}. The discrete Calapso equation is related to the discrete Korteweg–de Vries equation and discrete holomorphic functions. A matrix Lax pair based on Clifford algebras and a scalar Lax pair are derived for the discrete Calapso equation. A discrete Moutard-type transformation for the discrete Calapso equation is obtained, and it is shown that the discrete Calapso equation may be specialized to an integrable discrete version of the O( n +2) nonlinear σ-model.     

Affine Weyl group symmetries of Frobenius Painlevé equations

In this paper, we introduce a Frobenius Painlevé IV equation and the corresponding Hamilton system, and we give the symmetric form of the Frobenius Painlevé IV equation. Then, we construct the Lax pair of the Frobenius Painlevé IV equation. Furthermore, we recall the Frobenius modified KP hierarchy and the Frobenius KP hierarchy by bilinear equations, then we show how to get Frobenius Painlevé IV equation from the Frobenius modified KP hierarchy. In order to study the different aspects of the Frobenius Painlevé IV equation, we give the similarity reduction and affine Weyl group symmetry of the equation. Similarly, we introduce a Frobenius Painlevé II equation and show the connection between the Frobenius modified KP hierarchy and the Frobenius Painlevé II equation.     

Constructing super D-Kaup-Newell hierarchy and its nonlinear integrable coupling with self-consistent sources

How to construct new super integrable equation hierarchy is an important problem. In this paper, a new Lax pair is proposed and the super D-Kaup-Newell hierarchy is generated, then a nonlinear integrable coupling of the super D-Kaup-Newell hierarchy is constructed. The super Hamiltonian structures of coupling equation hierarchy is derived with the aid of the super variational identity. Finally, the self-consistent sources of super integrable coupling hierarchy is established. It is indicated that this method is a straight- forward and efficient way to construct the super integrable equation hierarchy.

Integrable decompositions for the (2+1)-dimensional Gardner equation

In this paper, with the computerized symbolic computation, the nonlinearization technique of Lax pairs is applied to find the integrable decompositions for the (2+1)-dimensional Gardner [(2+1)-DG] equation. First, the mono-nonlinearization leads a single Lax pair of the (2+1)-DG equation to a generalized Burgers hierarchy which is linearizable via the Hopf–Cole transformation. Second, by the binary nonlinearization of two symmetry Lax pairs, the (2+1)-DG equation is decomposed into the generalized coupled mixed derivative nonlinear Schrödinger (CMDNLS) system and its third-order extension. Furthermore, the Lax representation and Darboux transformation for the CMDNLS and third-order CMDNLS systems are constructed. Based on the two integrable decompositions, the resonant N-shock-wave solution and an upside-down bell-shaped solitary-wave solution are obtained and the relevant propagation characteristics are discussed through the graphical analysis.     

Integrable Semi-discrete Kundu–Eckhaus Equation: Darboux Transformation,Breather, Rogue Wave and Continuous Limit Theory

To get more insight into the relation between discrete model and continuous counterpart, a new integrable semi-discrete Kundu–Eckhaus equation is derived from the reduction in an extended Ablowitz–Ladik hierarchy. The integrability of the semi-discrete model is confirmed by showing the existence of Lax pair and infinite number of conservation laws. The dynamic characteristics of the breather and rational solutions have been analyzed in detail for our semi-discrete Kundu–Eckhaus equation to reveal some new interesting phenomena which was not found in continuous one. It is shown that the theory of the discrete system including Lax pair, Darboux transformation and explicit solutions systematically yields their continuous counterparts in the continuous limit.     

INTEGRABLE COUPLING OF THE TC HIERARCHY OF EQUATIONS

A new loop algebra and a new Lax pair are constructed, respectively. It follows that the integrable coupling of the TC hierarchy of equations, which is also an expanding integrable model, is obtained. Specially, the integrable coupling of the famous KdV equation is presented.     

The Symmetric Fourth Painlevé Hierarchy and Associated Special Polynomials

In this paper two families of rational solutions and associated special polynomials for the equations in the symmetric fourth Painlevé hierarchy are studied. The structure of the roots of these polynomials is shown to be highly regular in the complex plane. Further representations are given of the associated special polynomials in terms of Schur functions. The properties of these polynomials are compared and contrasted with the special polynomials associated with rational solutions of the fourth Painlevé equation.     

Factorization of a hierarchy of the lattice soliton equations from a binary Bargmann symmetry constraint

Staring from a discrete spectral problem, a hierarchy of the lattice soliton equations is derived. It is shown that each lattice equation in resulting hierarchy is Liouville integrable discrete Hamiltonian system. The binary nonlinearization of the Lax pairs and the adjoint Lax pairs of the resulting hierarchy is discussed. Each lattice soliton equation in the resulting hierarchy can be factored by an integrable symplectic map and a finite-dimensional integrable system in Liouville sense. Especially, factorization of a discrete Kdv equation is given.     

Painlevé Classification Problems Featuring Essential Singularities

In this article we construct and solve all Painlevé-type differential equations of the second order and second degree that are built upon, in a natural well-defined sense, the "sn-log" equation of Painlevé, the general integral of which admits a movable essential singularity (elliptic function of a logarithm). This equation (which was studied by Painlevé in the years 1893–1902) is frequently cited in the modern literature to elucidate various aspects of Painlevé analysis and integrability of differential equations, especially the difficulty of detecting essential singularities by local singularity analysis of differential equations. Our definition of the Painlevé property permits movable essential singularities, provided there is no branching. While the essential singularity presents no serious technical problems, we do need to introduce new techniques for handling "exotic" Painlevé equations, which are Painlevé equations whose singular integrals admit movable branch points in the leading terms. We find that the corresponding full class of Painlevé-type equations contains three, and only three, equations, which we denote SD-326-I, SD-326-II, and SD-326-III, each solvable in terms of elliptic functions. The first is Painlevé's own generalization of his sn-log equation. The second and third are new, the third being a 15-parameter exotic master equation. The appendices contain results (in general, without uniqueness proofs) of related Painlevé classification problems, including full generalizations of two other second-degree equations discovered by Painlevé, additional examples of exotic Painlevé equations and Painlevé equations admitting movable essential singularities, and third-order equations featuring sn-log and other essential singularities.     

Bäcklund Transformations and Solution Hierarchies for the Third Painlevé Equation

In this article our concern is with the third Painlevé equation
d² y /d x ²= (1/ y )(d y /d x )²− (1/ x )(d y /d x ) + ( αy ²+ β )/ x + γy ³+ δ / y
where α, β, γ, and δ are arbitrary constants. It is well known that this equation admits a variety of types of solution and here we classify and characterize many of these. Depending on the values of the parameters the third Painlevé equation can admit solutions that may be either expressed as the ratio of two polynomials in either x or x ^1/3 or related to certain Bessel functions. It is thought that all exact solutions of (1) can be categorized into one or other of these hierarchies. We show how, given a few initial solutions, it is possible to use the underlying structures of these hierarchies to obtain many other solutions. In addition, we show how this knowledge concerning the continuous third Painlevé equation (1) can be adapted and used to derive exact solutions of a suitable discretized counterpart of (1). Both the continuous and discrete solutions we find are of potential importance as it is known that the third Painlevé equation has a large number of physically significant applications.     

Commutativity of the extended KP flows

The commutativity problem of the extended KP hierarchy is analyzed. The compatibility equation of two extended KP flows is constructed, together with its Lax representations involving two extended Lax operators. The resulting theory shows that the extended KP hierarchy is a natural generalization of the KP flows, but does not commute unlike the constrained KP hierarchy. A few particular examples are computed, along with their Lax pairs.     

A generalized AKNS hierarchy and its bi-Hamiltonian structures

First we construct a new isospectral problem with 8 potentials in the present paper. And then a new Lax pair is presented. By making use of Tu scheme, a class of new soliton hierarchy of equations is derived, which is integrable in the sense of Liouville and possesses bi-Hamiltonian structures. After making some reductions, the well-known AKNS hierarchy and other hierarchies of evolution equations are obtained. Finally, in order to illustrate that soliton hierarchy obtained in the paper possesses bi-Hamiltonian structures exactly, we prove that the linear combination of two-Hamiltonian operators admitted are also a Hamiltonian operator constantly. We point out that two Hamiltonian operators obtained of the system are directly derived from a recurrence relations, not from a recurrence operator.     

A new lattice hierarchy: Hamiltonian structures,symplectic map and N-fold Darboux transformation

A new lattice hierarchy is constructed from a discrete matrix spectral problem. By the Tu scheme technique, the associated Hamiltonian structures and infinitely many conservation laws of this hierarchy are derived. Then a symplectic map is proposed based on the Lax pair and the adjoint Lax pair. Furthermore, the N-fold Darboux transformation and explicitly exact solutions of the first two equations in the hierarchy are investigated. Finally, the density profiles of these exact solutions are presented to illustrate the overtaking collisions of solitary waves.     

Geometric Formulation and Multi‐dark Soliton Solution to the Defocusing Complex Short Pulse Equation

In the present paper, we study the defocusing complex short pulse (CSP) equations both geometrically and algebraically. From the geometric point of view, we establish a link of the complex coupled dispersionless (CCD) system with the motion of space curves in Minkowski space , then with the defocusing CSP equation via a hodograph (reciprocal) transformation, the Lax pair is constructed naturally for the defocusing CSP equation. We also show that the CCD system of both the focusing and defocusing types can be derived from the fundamental forms of surfaces such that their curve flows are formulated. In the second part of the paper, we derive the defocusing CSP equation from the single‐component extended Kadomtsev‐Petviashvili (KP) hierarchy by the reduction method. As a by‐product, the N‐dark soliton solution for the defocusing CSP equation in the form of determinants for these equations is provided.
