Outer automorphisms ofsl(2), integrable systems, and mappings

Outer automorphisms of infinite-dimensional representations of the Lie algebra sl(2) are used to construct Lax matrices for integrable Hamiltonian systems and discrete integrable mappings. The known results are reproduced, and new integrable systems are constructed. Classical r-matrices, corresponding to the Lax representation with the spectral parameter are dynamic. This scheme is advantageous because quantum systems naturally arise in the framework of the classical r-matrix Lax representation and the corresponding quantum mechanical problem admits a variable separation.

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.     

Stäckel transform of Lax equations

We construct a map between Lax equations for pairs of Liouville integrable Hamiltonian systems related by a multiparameter Stäckel transform. Using this map, we construct Lax representation for a wide class of separable systems by applying the multiparameter Stäckel transform to Lax equations of suitably chosen systems from a seed class. For a given separable system, we obtain in this way a set of nonequivalent Lax equations parameterized by an arbitrary function of the spectral parameter, as it is in the case of a related seed system.     

Integrability aspects of some two-component KdV systems

Some two-component Korteweg–de Vries systems are studied by prolongation technique and Painlevé analysis. Especially, the two-component KdV system conjectured to be integrable by Foursov is proved to be both Lax integrable and P-integrable. Its conservation laws are investigated based on the obtained Lax pair. Furthermore, it is shown that the three two-component Korteweg–de Vries systems are identical under certain invertible linear transformations. Finally, the auto-Bäcklund transformation and some exact solutions for the two-component Korteweg–de Vries system are derived explicitly.     

ON GENERATING EQUATIONS FOR THE KAUP-NEWELL HIERARCHY

It is shown that the Kanp-Newell hierarchy can be derived from the so-called gen- erating equations which are Lax integrable.Positive and negative flows in the hierarchy are derived simultaneously.The generating equations and mutual commutativity of these flows en- able us to construct new Lax integrable equations.     

Integrability of the coupled KdV equations derived from two-layer fluids: Prolongation structures and Miura transformations

The Lax integrability of the coupled KdV equations derived from two-layer fluids [S.Y. Lou, B. Tong, H.C. Hu, X.Y. Tang, Coupled KdV equations derived from two-layer fluids, J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 39 (2006) 513-527] is investigated by means of prolongation technique. As a result, the Lax pairs of some Painlevé integrable coupled KdV equations and several new coupled KdV equations are obtained. Finally, the Miura transformations and some coupled modified KdV equations associated with the Lax integrable coupled KdV equations are derived by an easy way.     

Decomposing a new nonlinear differential-difference system under a Bargmann implicit symmetry constraint

Firstly, a hierarchy of integrable lattice equations and its bi-Hamilt-onian structures are established by applying the discrete trace identity. Secondly, under an implicit Bargmann symmetry constraint, every lattice equation in the nonlinear differential-difference system is decomposed by an completely integrable symplectic map and a finite-dimensional Hamiltonian system. Finally, the spatial part and the temporal part of the Lax pairs and adjoint Lax pairs are all constrained as finite dimensional Liouville integrable Hamiltonian systems.     

Painlevé analysis of nonlinear evolution equations—an algorithmic method

This paper refines existing techniques into an algorithmic method for deriving the generalization of a Lax Pair directly from a general integrable nonlinear evolution equation via the use of truncated Painlevé expansions. The resulting algorithm is also applicable to multicomponent integrable systems, and is thus expected to be of great value for complicated variants of such systems in various applications areas. Although a related method has existed for simple scalar integrable evolution equations for many years now, nevertheless no systematic procedure has been given that would work in general for scalar as well as for multicomponent systems. The method presented here largely systematizes the necessary operations in applying the Painlevé method to a general integrable evolution equation or system of equations. We demonstrate that by following the concept of enforcing integrability at each step (referred to here as the Principle of Integrability), one is led to an appropriate generalization of a Lax Pair, although perhaps in nonlinear form, called a “Lax Complex”. One new feature of this procedure is that it utilizes, as needed, a technique from the well-known Estabrook–Wahlquist method for determining necessary integrating factors. The end result of this procedure is to obtain a Lax Complex, whose integrability condition will contain the original evolution equation as a necessary condition. This in itself is sufficient to ensure that the Lax Complex may be used to construct Bäcklund solutions of the evolution equation, to obtain Darboux Transformations, and also to obtain Hirota’s tau functions, in a manner analogous to the procedure for single component systems. The additional problem of finding a general procedure for the linearization of any Lax Complex is not treated in this paper. However, we do demonstrate that a particular technique, which can be derived self-consistently from the Painlevé–Bäcklund equations, has proven to be sufficient so far. The Nonlinear Schrödinger equation is used to illustrate the method, and then the method is applied to obtain, for the first time via the Painlevé method, a Lax Complex for the vector Manakov system. Limitations in the algorithm remain, especially for cases with more than one principal branch, and these are briefly mentioned as directions for future work.     

Darboux transformation and N-soliton solutions for a more general set of coupled integrable dispersionless system

The Darboux transformation and Lax pair of a more general set of coupled integrable dispersionless system are derived. By Darboux transformation, N-soliton solutions for the coupled integrable dispersionless system are obtained. In particular, the multi-soliton solutions are shown through some figures.     

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.     

A family of integrable differential–difference equations,its bi-Hamiltonian structure and binary nonlinearization of the Lax pairs and adjoint Lax pairs

A family of integrable differential–difference equations is derived by the method of Lax pairs. A discrete Hamiltonian operator involving two arbitrary real parameters is introduced. When the parameters are suitably selected, a pair of discrete Hamiltonian operators is presented. Bi-Hamiltonian structure of obtained family is established by discrete trace identity. Then, Liouville integrability for the obtained family is proved. Ultimately, through the binary nonlinearization of the Lax pairs and adjoint Lax pairs, every differential–difference equation in obtained family is factored by an integrable symplectic map and a finite-dimensional integrable system in Liouville sense.     

Complete integrability and the Miura transformation of a coupled KdV equation

In this letter, a Painlevé integrable coupled KdV equation is proved to be also Lax integrable by a prolongation technique. The Miura transformation and the corresponding coupled modified KdV equation associated with this equation are derived.     

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.     

Positive and negative hierarchies of nonlinear integrable lattice models and three integrable coupling systems associated with a discrete spectral problem

Positive and negative hierarchies of nonlinear integrable lattice models are derived from a discrete spectral problem. 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. Moreover, 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. Further, we construct three integrable coupling systems of the positive hierarchy through enlarging Lax pair method.     

Integrable twofold hierarchy of perturbed equations and application to optical soliton dynamics

We construct well-known integrable equations with their Lax pairs from the corresponding linear equations using our nonlinearization scheme. Using negative powers in the spectral flow to deform the time Lax operator, we find a class of perturbations that unlike the usual perturbations, which spoil the system integrability, exhibit a twofold integrable hierarchy, including those for the KdV, modified KdV, sine-Gordon, nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS), and derivative NLS equations. We discover hidden possibilities of using the perturbed hierarchy of the NLS equations to amplify and control optical solitons propagating through a fiber in a doped nonlinear resonant medium.     

Integrable three-dimensional coupled nonlinear dynamical systems related to centrally extended operator Lie algebras and their Lax type three-linearization

The Hamiltonian representation for a hierarchy of Lax type equations on a dual space to the Lie algebra of integro-differential operators with matrix coefficients, extended by evolutions for eigenfunctions and adjoint eigenfunctions of the corresponding spectral problems, is obtained via some special Bäcklund transformation. The connection of this hierarchy with integrable by Lax two-dimensional Davey-Stewartson type systems is studied.     

Noncanonical time transformations relating finite-dimensional integrable systems

We consider dual Stäckel schemes related to each other by a noncanonical transformation of the time variable. We prove that this duality of different integrable systems arises from the multivaluedness of the Abel mapping. We construct the Lax matrices and the r-matrix algebras for some integrable systems on a plane. The integrable deformations of the Kepler problem and the Holt-type systems are considered in detail.     

Darboux transformations and recursion operators for differential-difference equations

We review two concepts directly related to the Lax representations of integrable systems: Darboux transformations and recursion operators. We present an extensive list of integrable differential-difference equations with their Hamiltonian structures, recursion operators, nontrivial generalized symmetries, and Darboux-Lax representations. The new results include multi-Hamiltonian structures and recursion operators for integrable Volterra-type equations and integrable discretizations of derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equations such as the Kaup-Newell, Chen-Lee-Liu, and Ablowitz-Ramani-Segur (Gerdjikov-Ivanov) lattices. We also compute the weakly nonlocal inverse recursion operators.
