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.     

Constructing integrable coupling systems of Hamiltonian lattice equations using semi-direct sums of Lie algebras

In this article, by considering a discrete isospectral problem, a hierarchy of Hamiltonian lattice equations are derived. Two types of semi-direct sums of Lie algebras are proposed, using which a practicable way to construct discrete integrable couplings is introduced. As an application, two kinds of discrete integrable couplings of the resulting system are worked out.     

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.     

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.     

Poisson brackets of mappings obtained as (<Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>,−<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>) reductions of lattice equations

In this paper, we present Poisson brackets of certain classes of mappings obtained as general periodic reductions of integrable lattice equations. The Poisson brackets are derived from a Lagrangian, using the so-called Ostrogradsky transformation. The (q,?p) reductions are (p + q)-dimensional maps and explicit Poisson brackets for such reductions of the discrete KdV equation, the discrete Lotka–Volterra equation, and the discrete Liouville equation are included. Lax representations of these equations can be used to construct sufficiently many integrals for the reductions. As examples we show that the (3,?2) reductions of the integrable partial difference equations are Liouville integrable in their own right.     

Multi‐component integrable couplings for the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur and Volterra hierarchies

A kind of N × N non‐semisimple Lie algebra consisting of triangular block matrices is used to generate multi‐component integrable couplings of soliton hierarchies from zero curvature equations. Two illustrative examples are made for the continuous Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur hierarchy and the semi‐discrete Volterra hierarchy, together with recursion operators.

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.     

Applications of a few Lie algebras

Two isomorphic groups R ² andM are firstly constructed. Then we extend them into the differential manifold R ²ⁿ and n products of the group M for which four kinds of Lie algebras are obtained. By using these Lie algebras and the Tu scheme, integrable hierarchies of evolution equations along with multi-component potential functions can be generated, whose Hamiltonian structures can be worked out by the variational identity. As application illustrations, two integrable Hamiltonian hierarchies with 4 component potential functions are obtained, respectively, some new reduced equations are followed to present. Specially remark that the integrable hierarchies obtained by taking use of the approach presented in the paper are not integrable couplings. Finally, we generalize an equation obtained in the paper to introduce a general nonlinear integrable equation with variable coefficients whose bilinear form, B¨acklund transformation, Lax pair and infinite conserved laws are worked out, respectively, by taking use of the Bell polynomials.     

Application of a semi-direct sum of Lie algebras to the TD hierarchy

We construct a Lie algebra G by using a semi-direct sum of Lie algebra G₁ with Lie algebra G₂. A direct application to the TD hierarchy leads to a novel hierarchy of integrable couplings of the TD hierarchy. Furthermore, the generalized variational identity is applied to Lie algebra G to obtain quasi-Hamiltonian structures of the associated integrable couplings.     

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.     

Lower semicontinuity property of multiparameter optimal stopping value and its application to multiparameter prophet inequalities

This paper is concerned with the optimal stopping problem for discrete time multiparameter stochastic processes with the index set Nd. The optimal stopping value of a discrete time multiparameter integrable stochastic process whose negative part is uniformly integrable, is lower semicontinuous for the topology of convergence in distribution. The multiparameter version of prophet inequality for the one-parameter optimal stopping problem is formulated and the lower semicontinuity property of the optimal stopping value is applied to the multiparameter prophet inequality.     

Note on a theorem of H. Moscovici

Let Γ be a discrete subgroup of a semisimple Lie group G such that ΓβG has a finite volume. Using a theorem of Moscovici we express the multiplicity of discrete series representations of G in the discrete spectrum of L²(ΓβG) as the L²-index of a twisted Dirac operator. This result, which extends a result of Moscovici and of the author, holds for all integrable discrete series and for infinitely many nonintegrable discrete series. In particular, up to computing L²-indices in the special rank one case, it implies the Osborne-Warner formula.

Furthermore, we construct a non-isospectral integrable couplings of cubic Volterra lattice hierarchy with self-consistent sources by using the loop algebra .     

The algebraic structure of discrete zero curvature equations associated with integrable couplings and application to enlarged Volterra systems

An algebraic structure of discrete zero curvature equations is established for integrable coupling systems associated with semi-direct sums of Lie algebras. As an application example of this algebraic structure, a τ-symmetry algebra for the Volterra lattice integrable couplings is engendered from this theory.     

Symmetries for the Ablowitz–Ladik Hierarchy: Part II. Integrable Discrete Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations and Discrete AKNS Hierarchy

In the paper, we continue to consider symmetries related to the Ablowitz–Ladik hierarchy. We derive symmetries for the integrable discrete nonlinear Schrödinger hierarchy and discrete AKNS hierarchy. The integrable discrete nonlinear Schrödinger hierarchy is in scalar form and its two sets of symmetries are shown to form a Lie algebra. We also present discrete AKNS isospectral flows, non‐isospectral flows and their recursion operator. In continuous limit these flows go to the continuous AKNS flows and the recursion operator goes to the square of the AKNS recursion operator. These discrete AKNS flows form a Lie algebra that plays a key role in constructing symmetries and their algebraic structures for both the integrable discrete nonlinear Schrödinger hierarchy and discrete AKNS hierarchy. Structures of the obtained algebras are different structures from those in continuous cases which usually are centerless Kac–Moody–Virasoro type. These algebra deformations are explained through continuous limit and degree in terms of lattice spacing parameter h.     

利用李代数构造非线性可积及双可积哈密顿耦合

With the help of a Lie algebra,two kinds of Lie algebras with the forms of blocks are introduced for generating nonlinear integrable and bi-integrable couplings.For illustrating the application of the Lie algebras,an integrable Hamiltonian system is obtained,from which some reduced evolution equations are presented.Finally,Hamiltonian structures of nonlinear integrable and bi-integrable couplings of the integrable Hamiltonian system are furnished by applying the variational identity.The approach presented in the paper can also provide nonlinear integrable and bi-integrable couplings of other integrable system.     

Spectrum transformation and conservation laws of lattice potential KdV equation

Many multi-dimensional consistent discrete systems have soliton solutions with nonzero backgrounds, which brings difficulty in the investigation of integrable characteristics. In this paper, we derive infinitely many conserved quantities for the lattice potential Korteweg-de Vries equation whose solutions have nonzero backgrounds. The derivation is based on the fact that the scattering data a(z) is independent of discrete space and time and the analytic property of Jost solutions of the discrete Schrödinger spectral problem. The obtained conserved densities are asymptotic to zero when |n| (or |m|) tends to infinity. To obtain these results, we reconstruct a discrete Riccati equation by using a conformal map which transforms the upper complex plane to the inside of unit circle. Series solution to the Riccati equation is constructed based on the analytic and asymptotic properties of Jost solutions.     

The trace class conjecture without the K-finiteness assumption

Let G be the group of real points of a reductive algebraic ℚ-group satisfying the same assumptions as in [5], Chapter I, and let Γ be a discrete subgroup of G. Let R_Γ be the right regular representation of G in L²(Γ\G). We prove in this Note that, for any integrable rapidly decreasing function ƒ on G, the restriction of R_Γ(ƒ) to the discrete spectrum of R_Γ is a trace class operator.
