Integrable Boundary Value Problem for the Boussinesq Equation

We discuss a method for seeking integrable boundary conditions for nonlinear equations. For the Boussinesq equation, we find a new boundary condition that is compatible with the Lax pair and has an infinite set of higher symmetries and a Bäcklund transformation. We construct a class of explicit partial solutions of an equation satisfying this boundary condition.     

The Kinematics of the Planar Motion of Ideal Fiber-Reinforced Fluids: An Integrable Reduction and Bäcklund Transformation

We establish that the kinematic constraints on the steady planar motion of an ideal fiber-reinforced fluid can be consolidated in a single third-order nonlinear equation. Remarkably, this equation admits a solitonic reduction related to the classical sine-Gordon equation. The kinematic conditions in this case admit a novel duality property and a Bäcklund transformation.     

On some aspects of Bäcklund transformations

The Painlevé differential equations (P₂-P₆) possess Bäcklund transformations which relate one solution to another solution either of the same equation, with different values of the parameters, or another such equation. We review a method for deriving difference equations, the discrete Painlevé equations in particular, from Bäcklund transformations of the continuous Painlevé equations. Then, we prove the existence of an algebraic formula relating three inconsecutive solutions of the same Bäcklund hierarchy for P₃ and P₄.     

Spectral Curves and Parameterization of a Discrete Integrable Three-Dimensional Model

We consider a discrete classical integrable model on a three-dimensional cubic lattice. The solutions of this model can be used to parameterize the Boltzmann weights of various three-dimensional spin models. We find the general solution of this model constructed in terms of the theta functions defined on an arbitrary compact algebraic curve. Imposing periodic boundary conditions fixes the algebraic curve. We show that the curve then coincides with the spectral curve of the auxiliary linear problem. For a rational curve, we construct the soliton solution of the model.

Symmetry groups of differential-difference equations and their compatibility

It is shown that the intrinsic determining equations of a given differential-difference equation (DDE) can be derived by the compatibility between the original equation and the intrinsic invariant surface condition. The (2+1)-dimensional Toda lattice, the special Toda lattice and the DD-KP equation serving as examples are used to illustrate this approach. Then, Bäcklund transformations of the (2+1)-dimensional DDEs including the special Toda lattice, the modified Toda lattice and the DD-KZ equation are presented by using the non-intrinsic direct method. In addition, the Clarkson-Kruskal direct method is developed to find similarity reductions of the DDEs.     

Some Local Properties of Bäcklund Transformations

For Bäcklund transformations, treated as relations in the categoryof diffieties, local conditions of effectivity and normality are introduced,having implications for the solution generating properties. We check themfor the pKdV, the sine-Gordon, and the Tzitzéica equation.     

On the Geometry of Liouville Equation: Symmetries, Conservation Laws, and Bäcklund Transformations

Various geometrical structures related to the Liouville equation are considered. Properties of the symmetry algebra are discussed and local conserved currents are constructed. Bäcklund transformations for the Liouville equation are integrated and nontrivial generalizations of the latter are studied as well as the structures on them.     

Correspondence theorems for hierarchies of equations of pseudo-spherical type

Hierarchies of evolution equations of pseudo-spherical type are introduced, thereby generalizing the notion of a single equation describing pseudo-spherical surfaces due to S.S. Chern and K. Tenenblat, and providing a connection between differential geometry and the study of hierarchies of equations which are the integrability condition of sl(2,R)-valued linear problems. As an application, it is shown that there exist local correspondences between any two (suitably generic) solutions of arbitrary hierarchies of equations of pseudo-spherical type.     

Bilinear Bäcklund transformation and Lax pair for a coupled Ramani equation

In this paper, a coupled Ramani equation is proposed. The bilinear Bäcklund transformation and Lax pair for this equation are derived starting from its bilinear form. Multisoliton solutions to the system can also be obtained.     

Global Classification of Two-Component Approximately Integrable Evolution Equations

We globally classify two-component evolution equations, with homogeneous diagonal linear part, admitting infinitely many approximate symmetries. Important ingredients are the symbolic calculus of Gel’fand and Dikiĭ, the Skolem–Mahler–Lech theorem, an algorithm of Smyth, and results on diophantine equations in roots of unity obtained by Beukers.      

Algebraic and Differential Nonlinear Superposition Formulas

Knowledge of the Lax pair and the Darboux transformation for a completely integrable system provides an iterative approach for generating exact solutions. This approach involves solving for the eigenfunction of the Lax pair at each step. But this process can be considerably simplified using the Bäcklund transformation and Bianchi's permutability theorem. This allows constructing the so-called nonlinear superposition formula, which provides a new solution of the system in terms of three previous solutions. The advantage of this approach is that the differential order of the nonlinear superposition formulas is lower than that of the Lax pairs, and in some cases, these formulas reduce to algebraic equations. We consider the construction of new nonlinear superposition formulas in the form of both differential equations and algebraic equations.

Integrability properties of a generalized reduction of the KdV6 equation

We consider the integrability properties of a generalized version of a similarity reduction of the so-called KdV6 equation, an equation that has recently generated much interest. We give a linear problem for this generalized reduction and show that it satisfies the requirements of the Ablowitz-Ramani-Segur algorithm. In addition we give a Bäcklund transformation to a related equation, giving also an auto-Bäcklund transformation for this last. Our results mirror those for the Korteweg-de Vries equation itself, which has a similarity reduction to an ordinary differential equation which is related by a Bäcklund transformation to the second Painlevé equation, this last having an auto-Bäcklund transformation.

2D Toda lattice equation with self-consistent sources: Casoratian type solutions,bilinear Bäcklund transformation and Lax pair

The two-dimensional Toda lattice equation with self-consistent sources is proposed based on its bilinear forms. Casoratian-type solutions and Bäcklund transformation (BT) for the bilinear forms are presented. Starting from the BT, a Lax pair is derived for the 2D Toda lattice with self-consistent sources.     

On RF-pairs, Bäcklund transformations and linearization of nonlinear equations

Some classes of nonlinear equations of mathematical physics are described that admit order reduction through the use of a hydrodynamic-type transformation, where the unknown function is taken as a new independent variable and an appropriate partial derivative is taken as the new dependent variable. RF-pairs and associated Bäcklund transformations are constructed for evolution equations of general form. The results obtained are used for order reduction of hydrodynamic equations (Navier-Stokes and boundary layer) and constructing exact solutions to these equations. A generalized Calogero equation and a number of other new linearizable nonlinear differential equations of the second, third and forth orders are considered. Some integro-differential equations are analyzed.     

A study on the bilinear Caudrey-Dodd-Gibbon equation

In this paper we consider the Hirota transformation of the Caudrey-Dodd-Gibbon equation (CDGE) from another point of view. As a result, the local equivalence between the CDGE and its bilinear equation is established, and a new type of Bäcklund transformation, which is defined by a second-order ODE along with the appropriate initial values, is presented to construct new solutions for the bilinear CDGE from the seed solutions of original CDGE.
