The integrable coupling system of a 3 × 3 discrete matrix spectral problem

Integrable coupling with six potentials is first proposed by coupling a given 3 × 3 discrete matrix spectral problem. It is shown that coupled system of integrable equations can possess zero curvature representations and recursion operators, which yield infinitely many commuting symmetries. Moreover, by means of the discrete variational identity on semi-direct sums of Lie algebras, the Hamiltonian form is deduced for the lattice equations in the resulting hierarchy. Finally, we prove that the hierarchy of the resulting Hamiltonian equations is Liouville integrable discrete Hamiltonian system.

A four-by-four matrix spectral problem is introduced, locality of solution of the related stationary zero curvature equation is proved. An integrable coupling hierarchy of the Mkdv_integrable systems is presented. The Hamiltonian structure of the resulting integrable coupling hierarchy is established by means of the variational identity. It is shown that the resulting integrable couplings are all Liouville integrable Hamiltonian systems. Ultimately, through the nonisospectral zero curvature representation, a nonisospectral integrable hierarchy associated with the resulting integrable couplings is constructed.     

A hierarchy of Liouville integrable lattice equations and its integrable coupling systems

A new discrete two-by-two matrix spectral problem with two potentials is introduced, followed by a hierarchy of integrable lattice equations obtained through discrete zero curvature equations. It is shown that the Hamiltonian structures of the resulting integrable lattice equations are established by virtue of the trace identity. Furthermore, based on a discrete four-by-four matrix spectral problem, the discrete integrable coupling systems of the resulting hierarchy are obtained. Then, with the variational identity, the Hamiltonian structures of the obtained integrable coupling systems are established. Finally, the resulting Hamiltonian systems are proved to be all Liouville integrable.     

A multi-component matrix loop algebra and the multi-component Kaup–Newell (KN) hierarchy,as well as its integrable coupling system

Construction of a type of multi-component matrix loop algebra is devoted to establishing an isospectral problem. By making use of Tu scheme, the integrable multi-component KN hierarchy of soliton equation is obtained. Further, the Hamiltonian structure of the Liouville integrable multi-component hierarchy is worked. Finally, an expanding loop algebra of the above algebra is presented, which is used to work out the multi-component integrable coupling system of the multi-component KN hierarchy that contains an arbitrary positive integer M.     

The binary nonlinearization of generalized Toda hierarchy by a special choice of parameters

A new discrete matrix spectral problem with two arbitrary constants is introduced. The corresponding 2-parameter hierarchy of integrable lattice equations, which can be reduced to the hierarchy of Toda lattice, is obtained by discrete zero curvature representation. Moreover, the Hamiltonian structure and a hereditary operators are deduced by applying the discrete trace identity. Finally, an integrable symplectic map and a family of finite-dimensional integrable systems are given by the binary nonlinearization for the resulting hierarchy by a special choice of parameters.     

Two expanding integrable systems and quasi-Hamiltonian function associated with an equation hierarchy

A Lie algebra sl(2) which is isomorphic to the known Lie algebra A₁ is introduced for which an isospectral Lax pair is presented, whose compatibility condition leads to a soliton-equation hierarchy. By using the trace identity, its Hamiltonian structure is obtained. Especially, as its reduction cases, a Sine equation and a complex modified KdV(cmKdV) equation are obtained,respectively. Then we enlarge the sl(2) into a bigger Lie algebra sl(4) so that a type of expanding integrable model of the hierarchy is worked out. However, the soliton-equation hierarchy is not integrable couplings. In order to generate the integrable couplings, an isospectral Lax pair is introduced. Under the frame of the zero curvature equation, we generate an integrable coupling whose quasi-Hamiltonian function is derived by employing the variational identity. Finally, two types of computing formulas of the constant γ are obtained, respectively.     

The applications of a higher-dimensional Lie algebra and its decomposed subalgebras

With the help of invertible linear transformations and the known Lie algebras, a higher-dimensional 6 × 6 matrix Lie algebra sμ(6) is constructed. It follows a type of new loop algebra is presented. By using a (2 + 1)-dimensional partial-differential equation hierarchy we obtain the integrable coupling of the (2 + 1)-dimensional KN integrable hierarchy, then its corresponding Hamiltonian structure is worked out by employing the quadratic-form identity. Furthermore, a higher-dimensional Lie algebra denoted by E, is given by decomposing the Lie algebra sμ(6), then a discrete lattice integrable coupling system is produced. A remarkable feature of the Lie algebras sμ(6) and E is used to directly construct integrable couplings.     

The hierarchy of an integrable coupling and its Hamiltonian structure

A type of higher dimensional loop algebra is constructed from which an isospectral problem is established. It follows that an integrable coupling, actually an extended integrable model of the existed solitary hierarchy of equations, is obtained by taking use of the zero curvature equation, whose Hamiltonian structure is worked out by employing the constructed quadratic identity.     

Generations of integrable hierarchies and exact solutions of related evolution equations with variable coefficients

We first propose a way for generating Lie algebras from which we get a few kinds of reduced 6 6 Lie algebras, denoted by R6, R8 and R1,R6/2, respectively. As for applications of some of them, a Lax pair is introduced by using the Lie algebra R6 whose compatibility gives rise to an integrable hierarchy with 4- potential functions and two arbitrary parameters whose corresponding Hamiltonian structure is obtained by the variational identity. Then we make use of the Lie algebra R6 to deduce a nonlinear integrable coupling hierarchy of the mKdV equation whose Hamiltonian structure is also obtained. Again,via using the Lie algebra R62, we introduce a Lax pair and work out a linear integrable coupling hierarchy of the mKdV equation whose Hamiltonian structure is obtained. Finally, we get some reduced linear and nonlinear equations with variable coefficients and work out the elliptic coordinate solutions, exact traveling wave solutions, respectively.     

An integrable lattice hierarchy, associated integrable coupling, Darboux transformation and conservation laws

A new integrable lattice hierarchy is constructed from a discrete matrix spectral problem, some related properties of the new hierarchy are discussed. The Hamiltonian structures and Liouville integrability of the new hierarchy are established by using the discrete trace identity. A kind of integrable coupling for the new hierarchy is constructed through enlarging spectral problems. A Darboux transformation (DT) with two variable parameters and the infinitely many conservation laws for a typical lattice equation in the new hierarchy are constructed based on its Lax representation, the explicit solutions are obtained via the DT, the structures for those solutions are graphically investigated. All these properties might be helpful to understanding some physical phenomena.     

AN INTEGRABLE HIERARCHY AND ITS EXPANDING LAX INTEGRABLE MODEL

In general, Liouville integrable hierarchies of evolution equations were obtained by choosing proper U in zero curvature frame Ut - Vx + [U, V] = 0 first. But in the present paper, a new Liouville integrable hierarchy possessing bi-Hamiltonian structure is obtained by choosing V with derivatives in x and spectral potentials. Then integrable coupling, i.e. expanding Lax integrable model of the hierarchy obtained is presented by constructing a subalgebra of loop algebra A2.     

Two families of Liouville integrable lattice equations

By virtue of zero curvature representations, we are successful to generate the Lax representations of two hierarchies of discrete lattice equations respectively, which are derived from two new and interesting 3 × 3 matrix spectral problems. Moreover, by using the trace identity, the bi-Hamiltonian structures of the above systems are given, and it is shown that they are integrable in the Liouville sense. Finally, infinitely many conservation laws for the second hierarchy of lattice equations are given by a direct method.     

Integrable decomposition of a hierarchy of soliton equations and integrable coupling system by semidirect sums of Lie algebras

Staring from a new spectral problem, a hierarchy of the soliton equations is derived. It is shown that the associated hierarchies are infinite-dimensional integrable Hamiltonian systems. By the procedure of nonlinearization of the Lax pairs, the integrable decomposition of the whole soliton hierarchy is given. Further, we construct two integrable coupling systems for the hierarchy by the conception of semidirect sums of Lie algebras.     

The Liouville integrability of integrable couplings of Volterra lattice equation

A hierarchy of integrable couplings of Volterra lattice equations with three potentials is proposed, which is derived from a new discrete six-by-six matrix spectral problem. Moreover, by means of the discrete variational identity on semi-direct sums of Lie algebra, the two Hamiltonian forms are deduced for each lattice equation in the resulting hierarchy. A strong symmetry operator of the resulting hierarchy is given. Finally, we prove that the hierarchy of the resulting Hamiltonian equations are all Liouville integrable discrete Hamiltonian systems.

On the basis of zero curvature equations from semi‐direct sums of Lie algebras, we construct integrable couplings of the Giachetti–Johnson hierarchy of soliton equations. We also establish Hamiltonian structures of the resulting integrable couplings by the variational identity. Moreover, we obtain bi‐integrable couplings of the Giachetti–Johnson hierarchy and their Hamiltonian structures by applying a class of non‐semisimple matrix loop algebras consisting of triangular block matrices.

Two types of hierarchies of evolution equations associated with the extended Kaup–Newell spectral problem with an arbitrary smooth function

In this paper we consider an extended Kaup–Newell (EKN) isospectral problem with an arbitrary smooth function and the corresponding two kinds of Lax integrable hierarchies by introducing two types of auxiliary spectral problems. The Hamiltonian structure of the second hierarchy is established. It is shown that the Hamiltonian system are integrable in Liouville’s sense and the set of Hamiltonian functions is the conserved densities of the second hierarchy, as well as they are in involutive in pairs under the Poisson bracket.     

A new Lie algebra along with its induced Lie algebra and associated with applications

A 3 × 3 Lie algebra H is introduced whose induced Lie algebra by decomposition and linear combinations is obtained, which may reduce to the Lie algebra given by AP Fordy and J Gibbons. By employing the induced Lie algebra and the zero curvature equation, a kind of enlarged Boussinesq soliton hierarchy is produced. Again making use of a subalgebra of the induced Lie algebra leads to the well-known KdV hierarchy whose expanding integrable system is also worked out. As an applied example of the Lie algebra H, we obtain a new integrable coupling of the well-known AKNS hierarchy.     

Three nonlinear integrable couplings of the nonlinear Schrödinger equations

Based on two types of expanding Lie algebras of a Lie algebra G, three isospectral problems are designed. Under the framework of zero curvature equation, three nonlinear integrable couplings of the nonlinear Schröding equations are generated. With the help of variational identity, we get the Hamiltonian structure of one of them. Furthermore, we get the result that the hierarchy is also integrable in sense of Liouville.
