Demonstration of Inverse Scattering Transform for DNLS Equation

Since the Jost solutions of the DNLS equation does not tend to the free Jost solutioins as ｜λ｜→∞, the usual inverse scattering transform （IST） must be revised. Beside the Kaup and Newell＇s approach, we propose a simple revision in constructing the equations of IST, where the usual Zakharov-Shabat kern is revised by multiplying λ^-2 or λ^-1. To justify the revision we show that the Jost solutions obtained do satisfy the pair of compatibility equations.     

Inverse Scattering Transform in Squared Spectral Parameter for DNLS Equation under Vanishing Boundary Conditions

After a transformation, the inverse scattering transform for the derivative nonlinear Schr6dinger （DNLS） equation is developed in terms of squared spectral parameter. Following this approach, we obtain the orthogonality and completeness relations of free Jost solutions, which is impossibly constructed with usual spectral parameter in the previous works. With the help these relations, the Zakharov-Shabat equations as well as Marchenko equations of IST are derived in the standard way.     

Demonstration of Soliton Solutions of DNLS Equation by Liouville Theorem

In the inverse scattering transform (IST), the reflectionless Jost solutions are combined by their analytic properties in the complex spectrum parameter plane, and then can be shown to satisfy the two Lax equations indeed by Liouville theorem. So the corresponding soliton solutions certainly satisfy the nonlinear equation by compatibility condition. Especially the multi-soliton solutions of DNLS equation can be demonstrated in this way.

Jost functions in the two-potential formalism

For two inhomogeneous Schrödinger equations playing an important role within the framework of the Gell-Mann — Goldberger two-potential formalism we derive the integral equations for the off-shell solutions and give the relations between the regular and Jost solutions. We define the Jost functions fully off the energy shell. The obtained formulae give the possibility to extend the validity of various useful relations derived within the one-potential theory.     

Complete set of radial Schrödinger equation solutions with a linear λ-dependent potential

The completeness relation is found for the set of Jost solutions of the radial Schrödinger equation with a linear λ-dependent potential in the space of twice continuously differentiable functions defined on the half-axis and satisfying some conditions.     

Green's Function Method for Perturbed sine-Gordon Equation

The usual Green's function method is introduced to show the completeness of the squared Jost solutions of the multi-soliton case in this work. Since sine-Gordon equation contains second derivative in time, the known procedure with generalized Marchenko equation to show completeness relation of the eigenfunctions of linearized equation is unavailable. And the explicit expressions of Jost solutions are not necessary here. Thus a general method of direct perturbation method for the perturbed sine-Gordon equation is developed.     

On- and off-shell Jost functions and their integral representations

By judicious exploitation of the transpose operator relation in conjunction with the differential equations of special functions of mathematical physics, integral representations of the on- and off-shell Jost functions are derived from the particular integrals of the inhomogeneous Schrödinger equation. Using the particular integral of the inhomogeneous Schrödinger equation, exact analytical expressions for the Coulomb and Coulomb plus Yamaguchi off-shell Jost solutions are constructed in the maximal reduced form. As a case study, the limiting behaviours and the on-shell discontinuities of the Coulomb plus Yamaguchi Jost solutions are verified numerically.     

Relations between the wave solutions and the jost solutions off the energy shell for local central potentials

Using the Green function techniques we express the wave solutions of the radial inhomogeneous Schrödinger equation by means of the on-shell Jost and regular solutions. Making use of their boundary behaviour atr = andr = 0 we reexpress them alternatively in terms of the off-shell Jost and regular solutions. Relations among the different generalized (fully off the energy shell) Jost functions are derived and the radial matrix elements of the transition and reaction (reactance) operators are given in terms of these Jost functions. The relations reflect the principle of detailed balance.     

Multiple Pole Solutions of the Modified Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

A general formula for the N-tuple polesoliton solutions of the modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which corresponds to a nonzero pole of order N of the Jost solution to the corresponding Lax-pair equations, is derived.     

Inverse Scattering Transform for the Discrete Focusing Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with Nonvanishing Boundary Conditions

In this article we develop the direct and inverse scattering theory of the Ablowitz-Ladik system with potentials having limits of equal positive modulus at infinity. In particular, we introduce fundamental eigensolutions, Jost solutions, and scattering coefficients, and study their properties.We also discuss the discrete eigenvalues and the corresponding norming constants. We then go on to derive the left Marchenko equations whose solutions solve the inverse scattering problem. We specify the time evolution of the scattering data to solve the initial-value problem of the corresponding integrable discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The one-soliton solution is also discussed.     

Recapitulating Quantum Phase Space Representation by Virtue of Normally Ordered Gaussian Form of Wigner Operator

Using the normally ordered Gaussian form of the Wigner operator we recapitulate the quantum phase space representation, we derive a new formula for searching for the classical correspondence of quantum mechanical operators; we also show that if there exists the eigenvector ｜q〉λ,v of linear combination of the coordinate and momentum operator, （λQ ＋ vP）, where λ,v are real numbers, and ｜q〉λv is complete, then the projector ｜q〉λ,vλ,v〈q｜ must be the Radon transform of Wigner operator. This approach seems concise and physical appealing.     

Self-induced generation of an off-axis frequency shifted radiation from atoms

The transient resonant linear response at wavelength λ_a of an N two-level atom vapor driven by a strong pulse with wavelength λ_f = λ_a - |Δλ| is shown to promote an emission of radiation peaked at wavelength λ_c = λ_a + |Δλ| in a conical shell around the propagation axis of the incident beam. In the limit of weak excitation, i.e. for an incident Rabi frequency much smaller than the detuning, the cone angle is found to be equal to 2λμ(2N/ch|Δλ|)^{$\text{1}\text{2}$} where μ is the transition dipole moment.     

KdV Equation with Self-consistent Sources in Non-uniform Media

Two non-isospectral KdV equations with self-consistent sources are derived. Gauge transformation between the first non-isospectral KdV equation with self-consistent sources （corresponding to λt = -2aA） and its isospectral counterpart is given, from which exact solutions for the first non-isospectral KdV equation with self-consistent sources is easily listed. Besides, the soliton solutions for the two equations are obtained by means of Hirota＇s method and Wronskian technique, respectively. Meanwhile, the dynamical properties for these solutions are investigated.     

Explicit forms of the off-shell Jost solutions for general central potentials

We derive explicit forms of the regular solutions and the Jost solutions off the energy shell, which satisfy the inhomogeneous Schrödinger equation. The used forms of the Yukawa-like and Gauss-like potentials are related to the two known integral representations of the Hankel functions. The explicit form of the introduced fully off-shell Jost functions enables us to write it in the alternative integral forms, which contain the Jost solutions or the regular solution.     

New approach to the solution of the scattering of spinless particles by central potentials

The explicit forms of the regular solutions, of the Jost solutions and functions for the radial Schrödinger equation, which describe the scattering of spinless particles by central potentials, are found. The regular solutions are derived from the iterative solution of the integral equation which their suitably modified Laplace transforms fulfil. Two general classes of potentials are used each of them being expressed by the corresponding inverse Laplace transform. As such forms of the regular solutions are related to those of the Jost solutions, the Jost solutions (along with the Jost functions) are written directly. The regions of the complex angular momenta and wave numbers, to which they can be analytically continued, are specified. Some testing relations are also derived.Dedicated to Academician Václav Votruba on the occasion of his seventieth birthday.     

A Reduced System of Linear Algebraic Equations for Giving Soliton Solutions of the Generalized ZS/AKNS Systems

A simple method for finding soliton solutions of the generaked ZS/AKNS systems whose Lax pairs are matrices with high orders is considered. An explicit expreesion of transformation between the Jost solution relating to the (n-1)-soliton solution and that relating to the n-soliton solution is found. A reduced system of N algebraic equations for giving N soliton solutions is deduced, it has an identical form no matter how high the order of matrices of the Lax pain is.     

Demonstration of Inverse Scattering Transform in G-L-M Formalism for NLS Equation in Normal Dispersion with Non-vanishing Boundary

Using the integral representation of the Jost solution, we deduce some conditions as the kernel function N(x, y,t) if the Jost solution satisfies the two Lax equations. Then we verify the multi-soliton solution of NLS equation with non-vanishing boundary conditions if we prove that these conditions can be demonstrated by the GLM equation, which determines the kernel function N(x,y, t) in according to the inverse scattering method.     

A relationship between Gel'fand-Levitan and Marchenko kernels

A new integral equation which relates the output kernels of the Gel'fand-Levitan and Marchenko inverse scattering equations in a continuous range of their variables is specified. Structural details of this integral equation are studied when theS-matrix is a rational function, and the output kernels are separable in terms of Bessel, Hankel and Jost solutions.     

Inverse Scattering Transform and Solitons for Square Matrix Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations with Mixed Sign Reductions and Nonzero Boundary Conditions

The inverse scattering transform (IST) with nonzero boundary conditions at infinity is developed for a class of 2 × 2 matrix nonlinear Schrödinger-type systems whose reductions include two equations that model certain hyperfine spin F = 1 spinor Bose-Einstein condensates, and two novel equations that were recently shown to be integrable, and that have applications in nonlinear optics and four-component fermionic condensates. In our formulation, both the direct and the inverse problems are posed in terms of a suitable uniformization variable which allows us to develop the IST on the standard complex plane instead of a two-sheeted Riemann surface or the cut plane with discontinuities along the cuts. Analyticity, symmetries and asymptotics of the scattering eigenfunctions and scattering data are derived, and properties of the discrete spectrum are analyzed in detail. In addition, the general behavior of the soliton solutions for all four reductions is discussed, and some novel soliton solutions are presented.     

Legendre's relation and the quantum equivalence osp(4|4)1 = osp(2|2)−2 ⊕ su(2)0

Using explicit results for the four-point correlation functions of the Wess–Zumino–Novikov–Witten (WZNW) model we discuss the conformal embedding osp(4|4)₁ = osp(2|2)₋₂ ⊕ su(2)₀. This embedding has emerged in Bernard and LeClair's recent paper cond-mat/003075. Given that the osp(4|4)₁ WZNW model is a free theory with power law correlation functions, whereas the su(2)₀ and osp(2|2)₋₂ models are CFTs with logarithmic correlation functions, one immediately wonders whether or not it is possible to combine these logarithms and obtain simple power laws. Indeed, this very concern has been raised in a revised version of cond-mat/003075. In this paper we demonstrate how one may recover the free field behaviour from a braiding of the solutions of the su(2)₀ and osp(2|2)₋₂ Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equations. We do this by implementing a procedure analogous to the conformal bootstrap programme Nucl. Phys. B 241 (1984) 333. Our ability to recover such simple behaviour relies on a remarkable identity in the theory of elliptic integrals known as Legendre's relation.
