Discrete and continuous coupled nonlinear integrable systems via the dressing method

A discrete analog of the dressing method is presented and used to derive integrable nonlinear evolution equations, including two infinite families of novel continuous and discrete coupled integrable systems of equations of nonlinear Schrödinger type. First, a demonstration is given of how discrete nonlinear integrable equations can be derived starting from their linear counterparts. Then, starting from two uncoupled, discrete one‐directional linear wave equations, an appropriate matrix Riemann‐Hilbert problem is constructed, and a discrete matrix nonlinear Schrödinger system of equations is derived, together with its Lax pair. The corresponding compatible vector reductions admitted by these systems are also discussed, as well as their continuum limits. Finally, by increasing the size of the problem, three‐component discrete and continuous integrable discrete systems are derived, as well as their generalizations to systems with an arbitrary number of components.     

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 discrete iso-spectral problem with positive and negative hierarchies and integrable coupling system

Two hierarchies of integrable positive and negative nonlinear lattice systems are derived from a discrete iso-spectral problem. When the Lax operators are expanded by virtue of the positive and negative power expansion with respect to the spectral parameter, we get the corresponding integrable hierarchies. Moreover, a direct matrix spectral method is used to get the associated integrable coupling system of the first resulting hierarchy.     

A family of (2+1)-dimensional hydrodynamic type systems possessing a pseudopotential

We construct a family of integrable hydrodynamic type systems with three independent and n ≥ 2 dependent variables in terms of solutions of a linear system of PDEs with rational coefficients. We choose the existence of a pseudopotential as a criterion of integrability. In the case n = 2 this family is a general solution of the classification problem for such systems. We also give an elliptic analog of this family in the case n > 2.     

An integrable coupling hierarchy of the Mkdv_integrable systems, its Hamiltonian structure and corresponding nonisospectral integrable hierarchy

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.     

Compatible Nonlocal Poisson Brackets of Hydrodynamic Type and Integrable Hierarchies Related to Them

We construct integrable bi-Hamiltonian hierarchies related to compatible nonlocal Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type and solve the problem of the canonical form for a pair of compatible nonlocal Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type. A system of equations describing compatible nonlocal Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type is derived. This system can be integrated by the inverse scattering problem method. Any solution of this integrable system generates integrable bi-Hamiltonian systems of hydrodynamic type according to explicit formulas. We construct a theory of Poisson brackets of the special Liouville type. This theory plays an important role in the construction of integrable hierarchies.     

A NEW INTEGRABLE SYMPLECTIC MAP ASSOCIATED WITH A DISCRETE MATRIX SPECTRAL PROBLEM

A hierarchy of lattice soliton equations is derived from a discrete matrix spectral problem. It is shown that the resulting lattice soliton equations are all discrete Liouville integrable systems. A new integrable symplectic map and a family of finite-dimensional integrable systems are given by the binary nonli-nearization method. The binary Bargmann constraint gives rise to a Backlund transformation for the resulting lattice soliton equations.     

Weierstrass integrability of differential equations

The integrability problem consists of finding the class of functions a first integral of a given planar polynomial differential system must belong to. We recall the characterization of systems which admit an elementary or Liouvillian first integral. We define Weierstrass integrability and we determine some Weierstrass integrable systems which are Liouvillian integrable. Inside this new class of integrable systems there are non-Liouvillian integrable systems.     

Integrable coupling hierarchy and Hamiltonian structure for a matrix spectral problem with arbitrary-order

We presented an integrable coupling hierarchy of a matrix spectral problem with arbitrary order zero matrix r by using semi-direct sums of matrix Lie algebra. The Hamiltonian structure of the resulting integrable couplings hierarchy is established by means of the component trace identities. As an example, when r is 2 × 2 zero matrix specially, the integrable coupling hierarchy and its Hamiltonian structure of the matrix spectral problem are computed.     

Quantum integrable systems and differential Galois theory

This paper is devoted to a systematic study of quantum completely integrable systems (i.e., complete systems of commuting differential operators) from the point of view of algebraic geometry. We investigate the eigenvalue problem for such systems and the correspondingD-module when the eigenvalues are in generic position. In particular, we show that the differential Galois group of this eigenvalue problem is reductive at generic eigenvalues. This implies that a system is algebraically integrable (i.e., its eigenvalue problem is explicitly solvable in quadratures) if and only if the differential Galois group is commutative for generic eigenvalues. We apply this criterion of algebraic integrability to two examples: finite-zone potentials and the elliptic Calogero-Moser system. In the second example, we obtain a proof of the Chalyh-Veselov conjecture that the Calogero-Moser system with integer parameter is algebraically integrable, using the results of Felder and Varchenko.     

Matrix orthogonal Laurent polynomials on the unit circle and Toda type integrable systems

Matrix orthogonal Laurent polynomials in the unit circle and the theory of Toda-like integrable systems are connected using the Gauss–Borel factorization of two, left and a right, Cantero–Morales–Velázquez block moment matrices, which are constructed using a quasi-definite matrix measure. A block Gauss–Borel factorization problem of these moment matrices leads to two sets of biorthogonal matrix orthogonal Laurent polynomials and matrix Szeg? polynomials, which can be expressed in terms of Schur complements of bordered truncations of the block moment matrix. The corresponding block extension of the Christoffel–Darboux theory is derived. Deformations of the quasi-definite matrix measure leading to integrable systems of Toda type are studied. The integrable theory is given in this matrix scenario; wave and adjoint wave functions, Lax and Zakharov–Shabat equations, bilinear equations and discrete flows — connected with Darboux transformations. We generalize the integrable flows of the Cafasso's matrix extension of the Toeplitz lattice for the Verblunsky coefficients of Szeg? polynomials. An analysis of the Miwa shifts allows for the finding of interesting connections between Christoffel–Darboux kernels and Miwa shifts of the matrix orthogonal Laurent polynomials.     

Integrable (2+1)-dimensional systems of hydrodynamic type

We describe the results that have so far been obtained in the classification problem for integrable (2+1)-dimensional systems of hydrodynamic type. The Gibbons-Tsarev (GT) systems are most fundamental here. A whole class of integrable (2+1)-dimensional models is related to each such system. We present the known GT systems related to algebraic curves of genus g = 0 and g = 1 and also a new GT system corresponding to algebraic curves of genus g = 2. We construct a wide class of integrable models generated by the simplest GT system, which was not considered previously because it is “trivial.”

Riemann‐Hilbert problems and soliton solutions of a multicomponent mKdV system and its reduction

An arbitrary order matrix spectral problem is introduced and its associated multicomponent AKNS integrable hierarchy is constructed. Based on this matrix spectral problem, a kind of Riemann‐Hilbert problems is formulated for a multicomponent mKdV system in the resulting AKNS integrable hierarchy. Through special corresponding Riemann‐Hilbert problems with an identity jump matrix, soliton solutions to the presented multicomponent mKdV system are explicitly worked out. A specific reduction of the multicomponent mKdV system is made, together with its reduced Lax pair and soliton solutions.     

Reduction of integrable planar polynomial differential systems

The integrability problem consists in finding the class of functions, a first integral of a given planar polynomial differential system must belong to. We recall the characterization of systems which admit a Darboux, elementary, Liouvillian or Weierstrass first integral. The reduction problem of an integrable planar system consists in finding the class of functions, a map that reduces the original system (transforms into a simple system or equation) must belong to. We identify the class of functions of this map for polynomial, rational, Darboux, elementary, Liouvillian and Weierstrass integrable systems.     

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.     

A NEW DISCRETE INTEGRABLE COUPLING SYSTEM AND ITS HAMILTONIAN STRUCTURE FOR THE MODIFIED TODA LATTICE HIERARCHY

We present a new discrete integrable coupling system by using the matrix Lax pair U, V ∈ sl(4). A novel spectral problem of modified Toda lattice soliton hierarchy is considered. Then, a new discrete integrable coupling equation hierarchy is obtained through the method of the enlarged Lax pair. Finally, we obtain the Hamiltonian structure of the integrable coupling system of the soliton equation hierarchy using the matrix-form trace identity. This discrete integrable coupling system includes a kind of a modified Toda lattice hierarchy.     

Noncanonical time transformations relating finite-dimensional integrable systems

We consider dual Stäckel schemes related to each other by a noncanonical transformation of the time variable. We prove that this duality of different integrable systems arises from the multivaluedness of the Abel mapping. We construct the Lax matrices and the r-matrix algebras for some integrable systems on a plane. The integrable deformations of the Kepler problem and the Holt-type systems are considered in detail.     

Integrability and conservation laws for two systems of hydrodynamic type derived from the Toda and Volterra systems

We prove that two particular systems of hydrodynamic type can be represented as systems of conservation laws, and that they decouple into non-interacting integrable subsystems. The systems of hydrodynamic type in question were previously constructed, via a matrix partial differential equation, from the Lax pairs for the classical Toda and Volterra systems. The decoupling is guaranteed by the vanishing of the Nijenhuis tensor for each system; integrability of the non-interacting subsystems, thus each system as a whole, is proven for low eigenvalue multiplicities.     

Invariant difference schemes for the Ermakov system

We construct invariant difference schemes for the parametric system of Ermakov equations. By using a difference analog of the Noether theorem, we write out the first three difference integrals of the system. The obtained schemes are integrable exactly to the same extent to which the original differential system is integrable.
