Conditional Lie-Bäcklund Symmetry and New Variable Separation Solutions of the Third Order KdV-Type Equations

The functionally generalized variable separation solutions of a general KdV-type equations u_t=u_xxx + A(u, u_x)u_xx + B(u, u_x) are investigated by developing the conditional Lie-Bäcklund symmetry method. A complete classification of the considered equations, which admit multi-dimensional invariant subspaces governed by higher-order conditional Lie-Bäcklund symmetries, is presented. As a result, several concrete examples are provided to construct functionally generalized variable separation solutions of some resulting equations.     

INVARIANCE OF THE KAUP–KUPERSHMIDT EQUATION AND TRIANGULAR AUTO-BÄCKLUND TRANSFORMATIONS

We report triangular auto-Bäcklund transformations for the solutions of a fifth-order evolution equation, which is a constraint for an invariance condition of the Kaup–Kupershmidt equation derived by E. G. Reyes in his paper titled "Nonlocal symmetries and the Kaup–Kupershmidt equation" [J. Math. Phys. 46 (2005) 073507, 19 pp.]. These auto-Bäcklund transformations can then be applied to generate solutions of the Kaup–Kupershmidt equation. We show that triangular auto-Bäcklund transformations result from a systematic multipotentialization of the Kupershmidt equation.     

Hidden Symmetries of the Principal Chiral Model Unveiled

By relating the two-dimensional U(N) Principal Chiral Model to a simple linear system we obtain a free-field parametrisation of solutions. Obvious symmetry transformations on the free-field data give symmetries of the model. In this way all known “hidden symmetries” and B?cklund transformations, as well as a host of new symmetries, arise. Received: 20 November 1996 / Accepted: 25 April 1997     

Painleve Analysis and Symmetries of the Hirota–Satsuma Equation

Abstract

The singular manifold expansion of Weiss, Tabor and Carnevale [1] has been successfully applied to integrable ordinary and partial differential equations. They yield information such as Lax pairs, Bäcklund transformations, symmetries, recursion operators, pole dynamics, and special solutions. On the other hand, several recent developments have made the application of group theory to the solution of the differential equations more powerful then ever. More recently, Gibbon et. al. [2] revealed interrelations between the Painlevè property and Hirota’s bilinear method. And W. Strampp [3] hase shown that symmetries and recursion operators for an integrable nonlinear partial differential equation can be obtained from the Painlevè expansion. In this paper, it has been shown that the Hirota–Satsuma equation passes the Painlevé test given by Weiss et al. for nonlinear partial differential equations. Furthermore, the data obtained by the truncation technique is used to obtain the symmetries, recursion operators, some analytical solutions of the Hirota–Satsuma equation.

New applications of the homogeneous balance principle

The homogeneous balance principle has been widely applied to the exploration of nonlinear transformation, exact solutions (especially solitary wave solution), dromion and similarity reduction to the nonlinear partial differential equations in mathematical physics. In this paper, we use the homogeneous balance principle to derive B?cklund transformations for nonlinear partial differential equations that have more nonlinear terms and more highest-order partial derivative terms. With the aid of the B?cklund transformations derived here, we could obtain exact solutions to the nonlinear partial differential equations. The Davey－Stewartson equation and the Nizhnik－Novikov－Veselov equation are considered as the examples.     

Perturbation,symmetry analysis,Bäcklund and reciprocal transformation for the extended Boussinesq equation in fluid mechanics

In this work, we study a generalized double dispersion Boussinesq equation that plays a significant role in fluid mechanics, scientific fields, and ocean engineering. This equation will be reduced to the Korteweg–de Vries equation via using the perturbation analysis. We derive the corresponding vectors, symmetry reduction and explicit solutions for this equation. We readily obtain B?cklund transformation associated with truncated Painlevéexpansion. We also examine the related conservation laws of this equation via using the multiplier method. Moreover, we investigate the reciprocal B?cklund transformations of the derived conservation laws for the first time.     

An integrable coupled Alice–Bob modified Korteweg de-Vries system: Lax pairs,Bäcklund transformations,residual symmetries and exact solutions

ABSTRACT

A coupled Alice–Bob modified Korteweg de-Vries (mKdV) system is established from the mKdV equation in this paper, which is nonlocal and suitable to model two-place entangled events. The Lax integrability of the coupled Alice–Bob mKdV system is proved by demonstrating three types of Lax pairs. By means of the truncated Painlevé expansion, auto-Bäcklund transformation of the coupled Alice–Bob mKdV system and Bäcklund transformation between the coupled Alice–Bob mKdV system and the Schwarzian mKdV equation are demonstrated. Nonlocal residual symmetries of the coupled Alice–Bob mKdV system are researched. To obtain localized Lie point symmetries of residual symmetries, the coupled Alice–Bob mKdV system is extended to a system consisting six equations. Calculation on the prolonged system shows that it is invariant under the scaling transformations, space-time translations, phase translations and Galilean translations. One-parameter group transformation and one-parameter subgroup invariant solutions are obtained. The consistent Riccati expansion (CRE) solvability of the coupled Alice–Bob mKdV system is proved and some interaction structures between soliton–cnoidal waves are obtained by CRE. Moreover, Jacobi periodic wave solutions, solitary wave solutions and singular solutions are obtained by elliptic function expansion and exponential function expansion.     

The Singular Manifold Method: Darboux Transformations and Nonclassical Symmetries

Abstract

We present in this paper the singular manifold method (SMM) derived from Painlevé analysis, as a helpful tool to obtain much of the characteristic features of nonlinear partial differential equations. As is well known, it provides in an algorithmic way the Lax pair and the Bäcklund transformation for the PDE under scrutiny.

Moreover, the use of singular manifold equations under homographic invariance consideration leads us to point out the connection between the SMM and so–called nonclassical symmetries as well as those obtained from direct methods. It is illustrated here by means of some examples.

We introduce at the same time a new procedure that is able to determine the Darboux transformations. In this way, we obtain as a bonus the one and two soliton solutions at the same step of the iterative process to evaluate solutions.     

Asymptotical solutions of coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations with perturbations

In this paper Lou＇s direct perturbation method is applied to the perturbed coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations to obtain their asymptotical solutions, which include not only the zero-order solutions but also the first-order modifications. Based on the asymptotical solutions, the effects of perturbations on soliton parameters and the collision between two solitons are then discussed in brief. Furthermore, we directly simulate the perturbed coupled nonlinear SchrSdinger equations by split-step Fourier method to check the validity of the direct perturbation method. It turns out that our analytical results are well supported by the numerical calculations.     

Bäcklund transformations,nonlocal symmetry and exact solutions of a generalized (2+1)-dimensional Korteweg–de Vries equation

In this paper, nonlocal residual symmetry of a generalized (2+1)-dimensional Korteweg–de Vries equation is derived with the aid of truncated Painlevé expansion. Three kinds of non-auto and auto Bäcklund transformations are established. The nonlocal symmetry is localized to a Lie point symmetry of a prolonged system by introducing auxiliary dependent variables. The linear superposed multiple residual symmetries are presented, which give rise to the $n$th Bäcklund transformation. The consistent Riccati expansion method is employed to derive a Bäcklund transformation. Furthermore, the soliton solutions, fusion-type $N$-solitary wave solutions and soliton–cnoidal wave solutions are gained through Bäcklund transformations.     

CTE Solvability,Nonlocal Symmetries and Exact Solutions of Dispersive Water Wave System

A consistent tanh expansion （CTE） method is developed for the dispersion water wave （DWW） system. For the CTE solvable DlVVC system, there are two branches related to tanh expansion, the main branch is consistent while the auxiliary branch is not consistent. From the consistent branch, we can obtain infinitely many exact significant solutions including the soliton-resonant solutions and soliton-periodic wave interactions. From the inconsistent branch, only one special solution can be found. The CTE related nonlocal symmetries are also proposed. The nonlocai symmetries can be localized to find finite Backlund transformations by prolonging the model to an enlarged one.     

A study of the discrete Pv equation: Miura transformations and particular solutions

We derive the form of the Miura transformation of the discrete P_v equation and show that it is indeed an auto-Bäcklund transformation, i.e. it relates the discrete P_v to itself. Using this auto-Bäcklund, we obtain the Schlesinger transformations of discrete P_v which relate the solution for one set of the parameters of the equation to that of another set of neighbouring parameters. Finally, we obtain particular solutions of the discrete P_v (i.e. solutions that exist only for some specific values of the parameters). These solutions are of two types: solutions involving the confluent hypergeometric function (on codimension-one submanifold of parameters) and rational solutions (on codimension-two submanifold of parameters).     

Covariant Prolongation Structure of Konno-Asai-Kakuhata Equation

Based upon the covariant prolongation structures theory, we construct the sl(2,R)×R(ρ) prolongation structure for Konno-Asai-Kakuhata equation. By taking two and one-dimensional prolongation spaces, we obtain the inverse scattering equations given by Konno et al. and the corresponding Riccati equation. The Bäcklund transformations are also presented.     

Solitons on a Periodic Wave Background of the Modified KdV-Sine-Gordon Equation

The Bäcklund transformation(BT) of the mKdV-sG equation is constructed by introducing a new transformation. Infinitely many nonlocal symmetries are obtained in terms of its BT. The soliton-periodic wave interaction solutions are explicitly derived by the classical Lie-group reduction method. Particularly, some special concrete soliton and periodic wave interaction solutions and their behaviours are discussed both in analytical and graphical ways.     

Auto-Bäcklund transformations and exact solutions for some nonlinear partial differential equations with nonlinear terms of any order

In this paper, by introducing some proper transformations, the applied range of the homogenous balance (HB) method is extended. With the help ofMathematica, we obtain three auto-Bäcklund transformations (BT) for the generalized Fithugh-Nagumo equation, the generalized Burgers-Fisher equation, the generalized Burgers-Huxley equation, respectively, by use of the extended HB method. From these BTs, some exact solutions for these equations are derived.     

Bäcklund transformations for finite-dimensional integrable systems: a geometric approach

We present a geometric construction of Bäcklund transformations and discretizations for a large class of algebraic completely integrable systems. To be more precise, we construct families of Bäcklund transformations, which are naturally parameterized by the points on the spectral curve(s) of the system. The key idea is that a point on the curve determines, through the Abel–Jacobi map, a vector on its Jacobian which determines a translation on the corresponding level set of the integrals (the generic level set of an algebraic completely integrable systems has a group structure). Globalizing this construction we find (possibly multi-valued, as is very common for Bäcklund transformations) maps which preserve the integrals of the system, they map solutions to solutions and they are symplectic maps (or, more generally, Poisson maps). We show that these have the spectrality property, a property of Bäcklund transformations that was recently introduced. Moreover, we recover Bäcklund transformations and discretizations which have up to now been constructed by ad hoc methods, and we find Bäcklund transformations and discretizations for other integrable systems. We also introduce another approach, using pairs of normalizations of eigenvectors of Lax operators and we explain how our two methods are related through the method of separation of variables.     

Conditional Lie–Bäcklund symmetries and invariant subspaces to nonlinear diffusion equations with source

This paper considers conditional Lie–Bäcklund symmetries of the radially symmetric nonlinear diffusion equations with source. We obtain a complete list of canonical forms for such equations which admit higher-order conditional symmetries. As a consequence, the solutions of the resulting equations are constructed on the invariant subspaces admitted by the corresponding equations.     

Infinitely many nonlocal symmetries and nonlocal conservation laws of the integrable modified KdV-sine-Gordon equation

Nonlocal symmetries related to the Bäcklund transformation (BT) for the modified KdV-sine-Gordon (mKdV-SG) equation are obtained by requiring the mKdV-SG equation and its BT form invariant under the infinitesimal transformations. Then through the parameter expansion procedure, an infinite number of new nonlocal symmetries and new nonlocal conservation laws related to the nonlocal symmetries are derived. Finally, several new finite and infinite dimensional nonlinear systems are presented by applying the nonlocal symmetries as symmetry constraint conditions on the BT.     

The existence of infinitely many Lie-Bäcklund symmetries for a new derivative nonlinear schrödinger equation

The new derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation considered by Chen et al., is shown to possess strong and hereditary symmetries, and hence infinitely many commuting Lie-Bäcklund (L-B) symmetries. Further, we derive the corresponding constants of motion, which are in involution.
