Boundary Conditions for Multidimensional Integrable Equations

We suggest an efficient method for finding boundary conditions compatible with integrability for multidimensional integrable equations of Kadomtsev-Petviashvili type. It is observed in all known examples that imposing an integrable boundary condition at a point results in an additional involution for the t-operator of the Lax pair. The converse is also likely to be true: if constraints imposed on the coefficients of the t-operator of the L-A pair result in a broader group of involutions of the t-operator, then these constraints determine integrable boundary conditions.New examples of boundary conditions are found for the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili and modified Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equations.     

The dressing method and nonlocal Riemann-Hilbert problems

Summary We consider equations in 2+1 solvable in terms of a nonlocal Riemann-Hilbert problem and show that for such an equation there exists a unified dressing method which yields: (i) a Lax pair suitable for obtaining solutions that are perturbations of an arbitrary exact solution of the given equation; (ii) certain integrable generalizations of the given equation. Using this generalized dressing method large classes of solutions of these equations, including dromions and line dromions, can be obtained. The method is illustrated by using theN-wave interactions, the Davey-Stewartson I, and the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili I equations. We also show that a careful application of the usual dressing method yields a certain generalization of theN-wave interactions.

On a vector long wave-short wave-type model

A new vector long wave-short wave-type model is proposed by resorting to the zero-curvature equation. Based on the resulting Riccati equations related to the Lax pair and the gauge transformations between the Lax pairs, multifold Darboux transformations are constructed for the vector long wave-short wave-type model. This method is general and is suitable for constructing the Darboux transformations of other soliton equations, especially in the absence of symmetric conditions for Lax pairs. As an illustrative example of the application of the Darboux transformations, exact solutions of the two-component long wave-short wave-type model are obtained, including solitons, breathers, and rogue waves of the first, second, third, and fourth orders. All the solutions derived by the Darboux transformations involve square roots of functions, which is not observed in the investigation of other nonlinear integrable equations. This model describes new nonlinear phenomena.     

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.     

On the Integrability of a Generalized Variable‐Coefficient Forced Korteweg‐de Vries Equation in Fluids

With the inhomogeneities of media taken into account, under investigation is hereby a generalized variable‐coefficient forced Korteweg‐de Vries (vc‐fKdV) equation, which describes shallow‐water waves, internal gravity waves, etc. Under an integrable constraint condition on the variable coefficients, in this paper, the complete integrability of the generalized vc‐fKdV equation is proposed. By virtue of a generalization of Bells polynomials, we systematically present its bilinear representations, Bäcklund transformations, Lax pairs and Darboux covariant Lax pairs, which can be reduced to the ones of some integrable models, such as vcKdV model, cylindrical KdV equation, and an analytical model of tsunami generation. It is very interesting that its bilinear formulism is free for the integrable constraint condition. Besides, researching the Lax equations yield its infinitely conservation laws, all conserved densities and fluxes of them are obtained by explicit recursion formulas. Furthermore, by considering its bilinear formulism with an extra auxiliary variable, we present the soliton solutions and Riemann theta function periodic wave solutions of the equation. According to the constraint among the nonlinear, dispersive, and line‐damping coefficients, we further discuss the solitonic structures and interaction properties by some graphic analysis. Finally, the relationships between the periodic wave solutions and soliton solutions are presented in detail by a limiting procedure.     

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 Fokas Method: The Dirichlet to Neumann Map for the Sine‐Gordon Equation

We study initial boundary value problems for the sine‐Gordon equation on the half‐line via the Fokas method, known as an extension of the inverse scattering transform. The method is based on the simultaneous analysis of both parts of the Lax pair and the global algebraic relation that couples known and unknown boundary values. One of most difficult steps of the method is to characterize the unknown boundary values that appear in the spectral functions. We derive the Dirichlet to Neumann map by using the global relation and the asymptotics of the eigenfunctions. Furthermore, employing perturbation expansion, we present an effective characterizations of the unknown boundary value in terms of the given initial and boundary values, and we then derive the first few terms of the expansions of the Neumann boundary value up to the third order.     

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.     

Commutator identities on associative algebras and the integrability of nonlinear evolution equations

We show that commutator identities on associative algebras generate solutions of the linearized versions of integrable equations. In addition, we introduce a special dressing procedure in a class of integral operators that allows deriving both the nonlinear integrable equation itself and its Lax pair from such a commutator identity. The problem of constructing new integrable nonlinear evolution equations thus reduces to the problem of constructing commutator identities on associative algebras. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 154, No. 3, pp. 477–491, March, 2008.     

Explicit solutions of an integrable boundary value problem for the two-dimensional toda lattice

We obtain an explicit solution of the integrable boundary value problem for the two-dimensional Toda lattice using the inverse scattering method. We interpret the integrability property in terms of the corresponding linear problem, the Gel’fand-Levitan-Marchenko equation, and the dressing procedure. The simplest initial solutions of the boundary value problem become new nontrivial solutions after the dressing procedure is applied.     

Integrability and equivalence relationships of six integrable coupled Korteweg–de Vries equations

In this paper, we investigate the integrability and equivalence relationships of six coupled Korteweg–de Vries equations. It is shown that the six coupled Korteweg–de Vries equations are identical under certain invertible transformations. We reconsider the matrix representations of the prolongation algebra for the Painlevé integrable coupled Korteweg–de Vries equation in [Appl. Math. Lett. 23 (2010) 665‐669] and propose a new Lax pair of this equation that can be used to construct exact solutions with vanishing boundary conditions. It is also pointed out that all the six coupled Korteweg–de Vries equations have fourth‐order Lax pairs instead of the fifth‐order ones. Moreover, the Painlevé integrability of the six coupled Korteweg–de Vries equations are examined. It is proved that the six coupled Korteweg–de Vries equations are all Painlevé integrable and have the same resonant points, which further determines the equivalence among them. Finally, the auto‐Bäcklund transformation and exact solutions of one of the six coupled Korteweg–de Vries equations are proposed explicitly. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

N solutions for a derivative nonlinear Schrödinger‐type equation via Riemann‐Hilbert approach

The inverse scattering transform for the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger‐type equation is studied via the Riemann‐Hilbert approach. In the direct scattering process, the spectral analysis of the Lax pair is performed, from which a Riemann‐Hilbert problem is established for the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger‐type equation. In the inverse scattering process, N‐soliton solutions of the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger‐type equation are obtained by solving Riemann‐Hilbert problems corresponding to the reflectionless cases. Moreover, the dynamics of the exact solutions are discussed.     

Necessary Covariance Conditions for a One-Field Lax Pair

We study the covariance with respect to Darboux transformations of polynomial differential and difference operators with coefficients given by functions of one basic field. In the scalar (Abelian) case, the functional dependence is established by equating the Frechet differential (the first term of the Taylor series on the prolonged space) to the Darboux transform; a Lax pair for the Boussinesq equation is considered. For a pair of generalized Zakharov-Shabat problems (with differential and shift operators) with operator coefficients, we construct a set of integrable nonlinear equations together with explicit dressing formulas. Non-Abelian special functions are fixed as the fields of the covariant pairs. We introduce a difference Lax pair, a combined gauge-Darboux transformation, and solutions of the Nahm equations.__________Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 144, No. 1, pp. 122–132, July, 2005.

A Synthetical Two‐Component Model with Peakon Solutions

A generalized two‐component model with peakon solutions is proposed in this paper. It allows an arbitrary function to be involved in as well as including some existing integrable peakon equations as special reductions. The generalized two‐component system is shown to possess Lax pair and infinitely many conservation laws. Bi‐Hamiltonian structures and peakon interactions are discussed in detail for typical representative equations of the generalized system. In particular, a new type of N‐peakon solution, which is not in the traveling wave type, is obtained from the generalized system.     

On the shapes of two-dimensional soliton perturbations in simple lattices

The Toda lattice and the discrete Korteweg-de Vries equation generalized to two dimensions are studied numerically. The interactions are assumed to be identical in both directions. It is shown that the equations have solutions in the form of plane linear and localized solitons. In contrast to equations integrable by the inverse scattering method, the parameters of solitons change in the course of their interaction and additional wave structures are formed. The basic types of solutions characterizing these processes are presented.     

New Bilinear Bäcklund Transformation and Lax Pair for the Supersymmetric Two‐Boson Equation

In this paper, I introduce a class of super Bell polynomials, which are found to play an important role in the characterization of super supersymmetric equations. An effective approach based on the use of the super Bell polynomials is developed to systematically investigate the bilinearization, Bäcklund transformation, and Lax pair for supersymmetric equations. I take a supersymmetric two‐boson equation to illustrate this procedure. A new bilinear Bäcklund transformation and a Lax pair with both fermionic and bosonic parameters are given. In addition, a kind of exact solitons for the equation are further constructed with the help of the bilinear Bäcklund transformation.
