Coupled systems of nonlinear wave equations and finite-dimensional lie algebras I

We study coupled systems of nonlinear wave equations from the point of view of their formal Darboux integrability. By making use of Vessiot's geometric theory of differential equations, it is possible to associate to each system of nonlinear wave equations a module of vector fields on the second-order jet bundle — the Vessiot distribution. By imposing certain conditions of the structure of the Vessiot distributions, we identify the so-called separable Vessiot distributions. By expressing the separable Vessiot distributions in a basis of singular vector fields, we show that there are, at most, 27 equivalence classes of such distributions. Of these, 14 classes are associated with Darboux integrable nonlinear systems. We take one of these Darboux integrable classes and show that it is in correspondence with the class of six-dimensional simply transitive Lie algebras. Finally, this later result is used to reduce the problem of constructing exact general solutions of the nonlinear wave equations understudy to the integration of Lie systems. These systems were first discovered by Sophus Lie as the most general class of ordinary differential equations which admit nonlinear superposition principles.     

A family of Koszul algebras arising from finite-dimensional representations of simple Lie algebras

Let g be a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra and let Sg be the locally finite part of the algebra of invariants (EndCV⊗Sg(g)) where V is the direct sum of all simple finite-dimensional modules for g and S(g) is the symmetric algebra of g. Given an integral weight ξ, let Ψ=Ψ(ξ) be the subset of roots which have maximal scalar product with ξ. Given a dominant integral weight λ and ξ such that Ψ is a subset of the positive roots we construct a finite-dimensional subalgebra of Sg and prove that the algebra is Koszul of global dimension at most the cardinality of Ψ. Using this we construct naturally an infinite-dimensional non-commutative Koszul algebra of global dimension equal to the cardinality of Ψ. The results and the methods are motivated by the study of the category of finite-dimensional representations of the affine and quantum affine algebras.

Graded differential equations and their deformations: A computational theory for recursion operators

An algebraic model for nonlinear partial differential equations (PDE) in the category ofn-graded modules is constructed. Based on the notion of the graded Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket, cohomological invariants H ^* (A) are related to each object (A, ) of the theory. Within this framework, H ⁰ (A) generalizes the Lie algebra of symmetries for PDE's, while H ¹ (A) are identified with equivalence classes of infinitesimal deformations. It is shown that elements of a certain part of H ¹ (A) can be interpreted as recursion operators for the object (A, ), i.e. operators giving rise to infinite series of symmetries. Explicit formulas for computing recursion operators are deduced. The general theory is illustrated by a particular example of a graded differential equation, i.e. the Super KdV equation.Tverskoy-Yamskoy per. 14, Apt. 45, 125047 Moscow, Russia.     

A homological approach to representations of algebras II: tame hereditary algebras

We determine the pure global dimension of finite dimensional hereditary or radical-squared zero algebras over algebraically closed fields. The results are applied to algebras of dimension four and to the incidence algebras of critical ordered sets studied by Loupias. We further prove that the path algebra of an oriented cycle shares with Dedekind domains the Kulikov property (submodules of pure-projective modules are pure-projective).     

Nonlocal trends in the geometry of differential equations: Symmetries,conservation laws,and Bäcklund transformations

The theory of coverings over differential equations is exposed which is an adequate language for describing various nonlocal phenomena: nonlocal symmetries and conservation laws, Bäcklund transformations, prolongation structures, etc. A notion of a nonlocal cobweb is introduced which seems quite useful for dealing with nonlocal objects.     

On the computational efficiency index and some iterative methods for solving systems of nonlinear equations

In this paper two new iterative methods are built up and analyzed. A generalization of the efficiency index used in the scalar case to several variables in iterative methods for solving systems of nonlinear equations is revisited. Analytic proofs of the local order of convergence based on developments of multilineal functions and numerical concepts that will be used to illustrate the analytic results are given. An approximation of the computational order of convergence is computed independently of the knowledge of the root and the necessary time to get one correct decimal is studied in our examples.

Symmetry and singularity properties of a system of ordinary differential equations arising in the analysis of the nonlinear telegraph equations

We investigate the symmetry and similarity properties of a system of equations arising in the analysis of the nonlinear telegraph equations. The system of two equations can be decoupled and integrated. Although one of equations is linear in one of the dependent variables, we are able to perform successfully a singularity analysis. We are able to interpret the results of the singularity analysis in terms of the possibility of the existence of a subsidiary solution.     

A convergence criterion for the solutions of nonlinear difference equations and dynamical systems

We show that the solutions of nonlinear higher order difference equations may have convergent subsequences, even when the solution as a whole does not converge, if the defining function sequence is suitably bounded near the origin. The delay size and pattern in the higher order equation play an essential role in determining which subsequences of its solutions converge. We then show that this method can be extended to planar systems and discuss applications to discrete dynamical systems that have been used in biological population models.

Moreover, the difference between any two solutions approaches as . We then use this result to give a complete qualitative analysis of a 3-dimensional dynamical system introduced by F. Gesmundo and F. Viani in modeling parabolic growth of three-oxide scales on pure metals.

We present a continuation method to obtain a family of T-periodic solutions for a family of T-periodic systems.In particular, we present some sufficient analytical conditions, which have the advantage of being an easy application to some systems of interest in physics or engineering. We apply these conditions to the exact tracking problem for the inverted spherical pendulum.     

The inverse problem for variational computation and its application to the integration of nonlinear ordinary differential equations of higher order

A method is established for constructing a functional of the variational problem associated with a given nonlinear differential equation of higher order. The Cauchy problem for strongly nonlinear differential equations is solved. The application of this method to the solution of the problem of the resistance of materials is examined.Translated from Vychislitel'naya i Prikladnaya Matematika, No. 70, pp. 36–48, 1990.     

The (G'/G, 1/G)-expansion method and its application to travelling wave solutions of the Zakharov equations

The (G'/G, 1/G)-expansion method for finding exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations, which can be thought of as an extension of the (G'/G)-expansion method proposed recently, is presented. By using this method abundant travelling wave solutions with arbitrary parameters of the Zakharov equations are successfully obtained. When the parameters are replaced by special values, the well-known solitary wave solutions of the equations are rediscovered from the travelling waves.     

Hierarchy of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equations under nonlocal constraints: Many-dimensional generalizations and exact solutions of reduced system

We present a spatially two-dimensional generalization of the hierarchy of Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equations under nonlocal constraints (the so-called 2-dimensionalk-constrained KP-hierarchy, briefly called the 2d k-c-hierarchy). As examples of (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear models belonging to the 2d k-c KP-hierarchy, both generalizations of already known systems and new nonlinear systems are presented. A method for the construction of exact solutions of equations belonging to the 2d k-c KP-hierarchy is proposed.
