A new (2+1)-dimensional supersymmetric Boussinesq equation and its Lie symmetry study

According to the conjecture based on some known facts of integrable models, a new (2+1)-dimensional supersymmetric integrable bilinear system is proposed. The model is not only the extension of the known (2+1)-dimensional negative Kadomtsev--Petviashvili equation but also the extension of the known (1+1)-dimensional supersymmetric Boussinesq equation. The infinite dimensional Kac--Moody--Virasoro symmetries and the related symmetry reductions of the model are obtained. Furthermore, the traveling wave solutions including soliton solutions are explicitly presented.     

Lax pair representation and Darboux transformation of noncommutative Painlevé’s second equation

Extension of the Painlevé equations to noncommutative spaces has been extensively investigated in the theory of integrable systems. An interesting topic is the exploration of some remarkable aspects of these equations, such as the Painlevé property, the Lax representation and the Darboux transformation, and their connection to well-known integrable equations. This paper addresses the Lax formulation, the Darboux transformation and a quasideterminant solution of the noncommutative form of Painlevé’s second equation introduced by Retakh and Rubtsov [V. Retakh, V. Rubtsov, Noncommutative Toda chain, Hankel quasideterminants and Painlevé II equation, J. Phys. A Math. 43 (2010) 505204].

On generalized Lax equation of the Lax triple of KP Hierarchy

In terms of the operator Nambu 3-bracket and the Lax pair (L, B_n) of the KP hierarchy, we propose the generalized Lax equation with respect to the Lax triple (L, B_n, B_m). The intriguing results are that we derive the KP equation and another integrable equation in the KP hierarchy from the generalized Lax equation with the different Lax triples (L, B_n, B_m). Furthermore we derive some no integrable evolution equations and present their single soliton solutions.     

Symmetry, Reductions and New Exact Solutions of ANNV Equation Through Lax Pair

In this paper, the direct symmetry method is extended to the Lax pair of the ANNV equation. As a result, symmetries of the Lax pair and the ANNV equation are obtained at the same time. Applying the obtained symmetry, the （2＋1）-dimensional Lax pair is reduced to （1＋1）-dimensional Lax pair, whose compatibility yields the reduction of the ANNV equation. Based on the obtained reductions of the ANNV equation, a lot of new exact solutions for the ANNV equation are found. This shows that for an integrable system, both the symmetry and the reductions can be obtained through its corresponding Lax pair.

Symmetry Reductions of a Lax Pair for （2＋1）-Dimensional Differential Sawada-Kotera Equation

Based on the symbolic computational system Maple, the similarity reductions of a Lax pair for the （2＋1 ）-dimensional differential Sawada Kotera （SK） equation by the classical Lie point group method, are presented. We obtain several interesting reductions. Comparing the reduced Lax pair＇s compatibility with the reduced SK equation under the same symmetry group, we find that the reduced Lax pairs do not always lead to the reduced SK equation. In general, the reduced equations are the subsets of the compatibility conditions of the reduced Lax pair.

Relationship between group velocity and symmetry of photonic crystals

Group velocity (GV) of eigenmode is a crucial parameter to explain the extraordinary phenomena about light propagation in photonic crystals (PhCs). To study relationships between group velocity and symmetry of PhCs, a new general expression of GV in PhCs made up of non-dispersive material is introduced. Based on this, the GVs of eigenmodes of PhCs, especially those of degenerate eigenmodes at highly symmetric points in the first Brillouin zone, are discussed. Some interesting results are obtained. For example, the summation of degenerate eigenmodes' GVs is invariant under the operations of wave vector ${{\bm K}}$-group $M_{{\bm K}} $. In addition, some numerical results are presented to verify them.

Infinite series symmetry reduction solutions to the modified KdV--Burgers equation

From the point of view of approximate symmetry, the modified Korteweg--de Vries--Burgers (mKdV--Burgers) equation with weak dissipation is investigated. The symmetry of a system of the corresponding partial differential equations which approximate the perturbed mKdV--Burgers equation is constructed and the corresponding general approximate symmetry reduction is derived; thereby infinite series solutions and general formulae can be obtained. The obtained result shows that the zero-order similarity solution to the mKdV--Burgers equation satisfies the Painlevé II equation. Also, at the level of travelling wave reduction, the general solution formulae are given for any travelling wave solution of an unperturbed mKdV equation. As an illustrative example, when the zero-order tanh profile solution is chosen as an initial approximate solution, physically approximate similarity solutions are obtained recursively under the appropriate choice of parameters occurring during computation.
