Two hierarchies of multi-component Kaup-Newell equations are derived from an arbitrary order matrix spectral problem, including positive non-isospectral Kaup-Newell hierarchy and negative non-isospectral Kaup-Newell hierarchy. Moreover, new integrable couplings of the resulting Kaup-Newell soliton hierarchies are constructed by enlarging the associated matrix spectral problem.

Then, two hierarchies of multi-component mKP equations are derived, including positive non-isospectral mKP hierarchy and negative non-isospectral mKP hierarchy. Moreover, new integrable couplings of the resulting mKP soliton hierarchies are constructed by enlarging the associated matrix spectral problem.     

Darboux transformation for the non-isospectral AKNS hierarchy and its asymptotic property

In this Letter, the Darboux transformation for the non-isospectral AKNS hierarchy is constructed. We show that the Darboux transformation for the non-isospectral AKNS hierarchy is not an auto-Bäcklund transformation, because the integral constants of the hierarchy will be changed after the transformation. The transform rule of the integral constants will be also derived. By this means, the soliton solutions of the nonlinear equations derived by the non-isospectral AKNS hierarchy can be found.     

Non-isospectral integrable couplings of Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur （AKNS） hierarchy with self-consistent sources

A hierarchy of non-isospectral Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur （AKNS） equations with self-consistent sources is derived. As a general reduction case, a hierarchy of non-isospectral nonlinear SchrSdinger equations （NLSE） with selfconsistent sources is obtained. Moreover, a new non-isospectral integrable coupling of the AKNS soliton hierarchy with self-consistent sources is constructed by using the Kronecker product.

A new multi-component integrable coupling system for AKNS equation hierarchy with sixteen-potential functions

It is shown in this paper that the upper triangular strip matrix of Lie algebra can be used to construct a new integrable coupling system of soliton equation hierarchy. A direct application to the Ablowitz--Kaup--Newell-- Segur(AKNS) spectral problem leads to a novel multi-component soliton equation hierarchy of an integrable coupling system with sixteen-potential functions. It is indicated that the study of integrable couplings when using the upper triangular strip matrix of Lie algebra is an efficient and straightforward method.     

A lattice hierarchy and its continuous limits

By introducing a discrete spectral problem, we derive a lattice hierarchy which is integrable in Liouville's sense and possesses a multi-Hamiltonian structure. It is show that the discrete spectral problem converges to the well-known AKNS spectral problem under a certain continuous limit. In particular, we construct a sequence of equations in the lattice hierarchy which approximates the AKNS hierarchy as a continuous limit.     

On a generalized Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur hierarchy in inhomogeneities of media: soliton solutions and wave propagation influenced from coefficient functions and scattering data

In this paper, a generalized Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur (AKNS) hierarchy in inhomogeneities of media described by variable coefficients is investigated, which includes some important nonlinear evolution equations as special cases, for example, the celebrated Korteweg–de Vries equation modeling waves on shallow water surfaces. To be specific, the known AKNS spectral problem and its time evolution equation are first generalized by embedding a finite number of differentiable and time-dependent functions. Starting from the generalized AKNS spectral problem and its generalized time evolution equation, a generalized AKNS hierarchy with variable coefficients is then derived. Furthermore, based on a systematic analysis on the time dependence of related scattering data of the generalized AKNS spectral problem, exact solutions of the generalized AKNS hierarchy are formulated through the inverse scattering transform method. In the case of reflectionless potentials, the obtained exact solutions are reduced to n-soliton solutions. It is graphically shown that the dynamical evolutions of such soliton solutions are influenced by not only the time-dependent coefficients but also the related scattering data in the process of propagations.

Furthermore, the spectral problems of the dual hierarchies may be obtained.

By making use of Tu scheme, a Liouville integrable multi-component hierarchy of soliton equations is generated, which possesses the multi-component Hamiltonian structures. As its reduction cases, the multi-component C-KdV hierarchy is given. Finally, the multi-component integrable coupling system of C-KdV hierarchy is presented through enlarging matrix spectral problem.     

Semi-direct sums of Lie algebras and continuous integrable couplings

A relation between semi-direct sums of Lie algebras and integrable couplings of continuous soliton equations is presented, and correspondingly, a feasible way to construct integrable couplings is furnished. A direct application to the AKNS spectral problem leads to a novel hierarchy of integrable couplings of the AKNS hierarchy of soliton equations. It is also indicated that the study of integrable couplings using semi-direct sums of Lie algebras is an important step towards complete classification of integrable systems.     

A real nonlinear integrable couplings of continuous soliton hierarchy and its Hamiltonian structure

Some integrable coupling systems of existing papers are linear integrable couplings. In the Letter, beginning with Lax pairs from special non-semisimple matrix Lie algebras, we establish a scheme for constructing real nonlinear integrable couplings of continuous soliton hierarchy. A direct application to the AKNS spectral problem leads to a novel nonlinear integrable couplings, then we consider the Hamiltonian structures of nonlinear integrable couplings of AKNS hierarchy with the component-trace identity.

New symmetries for the Ablowitz–Ladik hierarchies

In the Letter we give new symmetries for the isospectral and non-isospectral Ablowitz–Ladik hierarchies by means of the zero curvature representations of evolution equations related to the Ablowitz–Ladik spectral problem. Lie algebras constructed by symmetries are further obtained. We also discuss the relations between the recursion operator and isospectral and non-isospectral flows. Our method can be generalized to other systems to construct symmetries for non-isospectral equations.

General N-solitons and their dynamics in several nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equations

General N-solitons in three recently-proposed nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equations are presented. These nonlocal equations include the reverse-space, reverse-time, and reverse-space–time nonlinear Schrödinger equations, which are nonlocal reductions of the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur (AKNS) hierarchy. It is shown that general N-solitons in these different equations can be derived from the same Riemann–Hilbert solutions of the AKNS hierarchy, except that symmetry relations on the scattering data are different for these equations. This Riemann–Hilbert framework allows us to identify new types of solitons with novel eigenvalue configurations in the spectral plane. Dynamics of N-solitons in these equations is also explored. In all the three nonlocal equations, their solutions often collapse repeatedly, but can remain bounded or nonsingular for wide ranges of soliton parameters as well. In addition, it is found that multi-solitons can behave very differently from fundamental solitons and may not correspond to a nonlinear superposition of fundamental solitons.     

FUNCTIONAL REPRESENTATION OF THE NEGATIVE AKNS HIERARCHY

This paper is devoted to the negative flows of the AKNS hierarchy. The main result of this work is the functional representation of the extended AKNS hierarchy, composed of both positive (classical) and negative flows. We derive a finite set of functional equations, constructed by means of the Miwa's shifts, which contains all equations of the hierarchy. Using the obtained functional representation we convert the nonlocal equations of the negative subhierarchy into local systems of higher order, derive the generating function of the conservation laws and the N-dark-soliton solutions for the extended AKNS hierarchy. As an additional result we obtain the functional representation of the Landau–Lifshitz hierarchy.
