New coupled Liouville system: Prolongation structure,soliton solution,and complete integrability

We suggest a new coupled Liouville equation which is exactly solvable. We obtain the Lax pair through a prolongation analysis and also obtain the exact one-soliton-like solution by a direct procedure. We confirm our result through a Painlevé analysis of the similarity reduced systems.     

Remarks on the two-dimensional sine-Gordon equation and the Painlevé tests

It is shown that the two-dimensional sine-Gordon equation does not satisfy the necessary conditions of the Painlevé conjecture to be solvable by inverse scattering since it is reducible to an ordinary differential equation which has a movable logarithmic branch point and so is not of Painlevé type.     

Exactly solvable associated Lamé potentials and supersymmetric transformations

A systematic procedure to derive exact solutions of the associated Lamé equation for an arbitrary value of the energy is presented. Supersymmetric transformations in which the seed solutions have factorization energies inside the gaps are used to generate new exactly solvable potentials; some of them exhibit an interesting property of periodicity defects.     

Bäcklund transformations for a matrix second Painlevé equation

Higher-order Painlevé equations are a topic of much current interest. Here we are interested in deriving auto-Bäcklund transformations for one particular kind of higher-order Painlevé equation, namely, a matrix Painlevé equation. The extension of a recently derived approach to deal with the matrix second Painlevé equation considered here represents a further demonstration of that approach's efficacy.

Solutions of nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation from relativistic Klein-Gordon equation

The relativistic one-dimensional Klein-Gordon equation can be exactly solved for a certain class of potentials. But the nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation is not necessarily solvable for the same potentials. It may be possible to obtain approximate solutions for the inexact nonrelativistic potential from the relativistic exact solutions by systematically removing relativistic portion. We search for the possibility with the harmonic oscillator potential and the Coulomb potential, both of which can be exactly solvable nonrelativistically and relativistically. Though a rigorous algebraic approach is not deduced yet, it is found that the relativistic exact solutions can be a good starting point for obtaining the nonrelativistic solutions.     

Schlesinger transforms for the discrete painlevé IV equation

We derive an auto-Bäcklund transformation for the discrete Painlevé IV equation and use it in order to derive Schlesinger transformations for the same equation as well as particular solutions in perfect analogy to the continuous case.     

Integrability analysis of a conformal equation in relativity

In 1987 C. C. Dyer, G. C. McVittie, and L. M. Oattes derived the (two) field equations for shear-free, spherically symmetric perfect fluid spacetimes which admit a conformai symmetry. We use the techniques of the Lie and Painlevé analyses of differential equations to find solutions of these equations. The concept of a pseudo-partial Painlevé property is introduced for the first time which could assist in finding solutions to equations that do not possess the Painlevé property. The pseudo-partial Painlevé property throws light on the distinction between the classes of solutions found independently by P. Havas and M. Wyman. We find a solution for all values of a particular parameter for the first field equation and link it to the solution of the second equation. We indicate why we believe that the first field equation cannot be solved in general. Both techniques produce similar results and demonstrate the close relationship between the Lie and Painlevé analyses. We also show that both of the field equations of Dyeret al. may be reduced to the same Emden-Fowler equation of index two.     

Painlevé IV coherent states

A simple way to find solutions of the Painlevé IV equation is by identifying Hamiltonian systems with third-order differential ladder operators. Some of these systems can be obtained by applying supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSY QM) to the harmonic oscillator. In this work, we will construct families of coherent states for such subset of SUSY partner Hamiltonians which are connected with the Painlevé IV equation. First, these coherent states are built up as eigenstates of the annihilation operator, then as displaced versions of the extremal states, both involving the related third-order ladder operators, and finally as extremal states which are also displaced but now using the so called linearized ladder operators. To each SUSY partner Hamiltonian corresponds two families of coherent states: one inside the infinite subspace associated with the isospectral part of the spectrum and another one in the finite subspace generated by the states created through the SUSY technique.     

Nonlinear nonautonomous discrete dynamical systems from a general discrete isomonodromy problem

Nonlinear nonautonomous discrete dynamical systems (DDS) whose continuum limits are the well-known Painlevé equations, have recently arisen in models of quantum gravity. The Painlevé equations are believed integrable because each is the isomonodromy condition for an associated linear differential equation. However, not every DDS with an integrable continuum limit is necessarily integrable. Which of the many discrete versions of the Painlevé equations inherit their integrability is not known. How to derive all their integrable discrete versions is also not known. We provide a systematic method of attacking these questions by giving a general discrete isomonodromy problem. Discrete versions of the first and second Painlevé equations are deduced from this general problem.     

Complete integrability of coupled KdV and NLS equations

Painlevé analysis is performed for the coupled system of nonlinear partial differential equations consisting of the KdV equation and NLS equation initially studied by Nishikawa. Various possibilities for the constants occurring in the system are explored, paying attention to the integrability property. This equation occurring in the field of plasma physics satisfies all the requirements of Painlevé analysis and can be ascertained to be completely integrable, though no Lax pair is known for it.     

On askey-wilson algebra

The ladder representations of Askey-Wilson algebra (AWA) is investigated and the over-lap problem is discussed. The full class of exactly solvable potentials for one-dimensional ordinary Schrödinger equation with the AWA as an algebra of dynamical symmetry is found for creation-annihilation operators of third order. The generating spectrum algebra for latticeSchrödinger equation as AWA is examined. All exactly solvable potentials with this dynamical symmetry are found. Some generalizations of obtained results are discussed.     

Painlevé analysis,conservation laws,and symmetry of perturbed nonlinear equations

We consider the Lie-Backlund symmetries and conservation laws of a perturbed KdV equation and NLS equation. The arbitrary coefficients of the perturbing terms can be related to the condition of existence of nontrivial LB symmetry generator. When the perturbed KdV equation is subjected to Painlevé analysisa la Weiss, it is found that the resonance position changes compared to the unperturbed one. We prove the compatibility of the overdetermined set of equations obtained at the different stages of recursion relations, at least for one branch. All other branches are also indicated and difficulties associated them are discussed considering the perturbation parameter to be small. We determine the Lax pair for the aforesaid branch through the use of Schwarzian derivative. For the perturbed NLS equation we determine the conservation laws following the approach of Chen and Liu. From the recurrence of these conservation laws a Lax pair is constructed. But the Painlevé analysis does not produce a positive answer for the perturbed NLS equation. So here we have two contrasting examples of perturbed nonlinear equations: one passes the Painlevé test and its Lax pair can be found from the analysis itself, but the other equation does not meet the criterion of the Painlevé test, though its Lax pair is found in another way.     

Quadratic transformations for the sixth Painlevé equation

A new type of transformation is found for the Painlevé six equation which can be considered as an analog of the well-known quadratic transformations for hypergeometric functions.     

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].     

Painlevé analysis and symmetry group for the coupled Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation

The Painlevé property for the coupled Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation is verified with the WTC approach and new exact solutions of bell-type are constructed from standard truncated expansion. A symmetry transformation group theorem is also given out from a simple direct method.     

Supersymmetry in quantum mechanics

In the past ten years, the ideas of supersymmetry have been profitably applied to many nonrelativistic quantum mechanical problems. In particular, there is now a much deeper understanding of why certain potentials are analytically solvable. In this lecture I review the theoretical formulation of supersymmetric quantum mechanics and discuss many of its applications. I show that the well-known exactly solvable potentials can be understood in terms of a few basic ideas which include supersymmetric partner potentials and shape invariance. The connection between inverse scattering, isospectral potentials and supersymmetric quantum mechanics is discussed and multi-soliton solutions of the KdV equation are constructed. Further, it is pointed out that the connection between the solutions of the Dirac equation and the Schrödinger equation is exactly same as between the solutions of the MKdV and the KdV equations.     

Liouville Transformation and Exactly Solvable Schrodinger Equations

The present paper discusses the connectionbetween exactly solvable Schrodinger equations and theLiouville transformation. This transformation yields alarge class of exactly solvable potentials, including the exactly solvable potentials introduced byNatanzon. In addition, this class is shown to containtwo new families of exactly solvablepotentials.     

Relativistic Confinement of Neutral Fermions with Partially Exactly Solvable and Exactly Solvable PT-Symmetric Potentials in the Presence of Position-Dependent Mass

The relativistic problems of neutral fermions subject to a new partially exactly solvable PT-symmetric potential and an exactly solvable PT-symmetric hyperbolic cosecant potential in 1+1 dimensions are investigated. The Dirac equation with the double-well-like mass distribution in the background of the PT-symmetric vector potential coupling can be mapped into the Schrödinger-like equation with the partially exactly solvable double-well potential. The position-dependent effective mass Dirac equation with the PT-symmetric hyperbolic cosecant potential can be mapped into the Schrödinger-like equation with the exactly solvable modified Pöschl-Teller potential. The real relativistic energy levels and corresponding spinor wavefunctions for the bound states have been given in a closed form.     

Similarity solution and lie symmetry for a coupled nonlinear system

The Lie point symmetries of a set of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations are considered. The system is an extended version of the usual nonlinear Schrödinger equation. In the similarity variable deduced from the symmetry analysis, the system is equivalent to the Painlevé III in Ince's classification. By starting from a solution of the Painlevé equation, one can reproduce various classes of solutions of the original PDEs. Such solutions include both rational and progressive types or a combination of the two.
