Some quasi-periodic solutions to the Kadometsev-Petviashvili andmodified Kadometsev-Petviashvili equations

The Kadometsev-Petviashvili (KP) and modified KP (mKP) equations are retrieved from the first two soliton equations of coupled Korteweg-de Vries (cKdV) hierarchy. Based on the nonlinearization of Lax pairs, the KP and mKP equations are ultimately reduced to integrable finite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems in view of the r-matrix theory. Finally, the resulting Hamiltonian flows are linearized in Abel-Jacobi coordinates, such that some specially explicit quasi-periodic solutions to the KP and mKP equations are synchronously given in terms of theta functions through the Jacobi inversion.
