Canonical and Noncanonical Recursion Operators in Multidimensions

The hierarchies of evolution equations associated with the spectral operators ?_x?_y ? R?_y ? Q and ?_x?_y ? Q in the plane are considered. In both cases a recursion operator Ф₁₂, which is nonlocal and generates the hierarchy, is obtained. It is shown that only in the first case does the recursion operator satisfy the canonical geometrical scheme in 2 + 1 dimensions proposed by Fokas and Santini. The general procedure proposed allows one to derive, at the same time, the evolution equations associated with a given linear spectral problem and their Backlund transformations (if they exist), with no need to verify by long and tedious computations the algebraic properties of Ф₁₂. Two equations in the first hierarchy can be considered as two different integrable generalizations in the plane of the dispersive long wave equation. All equations in this hierarchy are shown to be both a dimensional reduction of bi-Hamiltonian n × n matrix evolution equations in multidimensions and a generalization in the plane of bi-Hamiltonian n × n matrix evolution equations on the line.     

On the solution of algebraic equations by the decomposition method

The decomposition method (G. Adomian, “Stochastic Systems,” Academic Press, New York, 1983) developed to solve nonlinear stochastic differential equations has recently been generalized to nonlinear (and/or) stochastic partial differential equations, systems of equations, and delay equations and applied to diverse applications. As pointed out previously (see reference above) the methodology is an operator method which can be used for nondifferential operators as well. Extension has also been made to algebraic equations involving real or complex coefficients. This paper deals specifically with quadratic, cubic, and general higher-order polynomial equations and negative, or nonintegral powers, and random algebraic equations. Further work on this general subject appears elsewhere (G. Adomian, “Stochastic Systems II,” Academic Press, New York, in press).     

A tri-Hamiltonian formulation of a new soliton hierarchy associated with so(3,R)

A third Hamiltonian operator is presented for a new hierarchy of bi-Hamiltonian soliton equations, thereby showing that this hierarchy is tri-Hamiltonian. Additionally, an inverse hierarchy of common commuting symmetries is also presented.     

A three-parameter difference Hamiltonian operator,corresponding pair of Hamiltonian operators and a family of Liouville integrable lattice equations

A difference Hamiltonian operator involved three arbitrary real parameters is introduced. When these parameters in the difference Hamiltonian operator are properly chosen, we obtain a pair of difference Hamiltonian operators. Then, using Magri scheme of bi-Hamiltonian formulation, we construct a family of Liouville integrable lattice equations. Finally, the discrete zero curvature representation of obtained family is presented.     

Nonlocal symmetries and recursion operators: Partial differential and differential-difference equations

A systematic method to derive the nonlocal symmetries for partial differential and differential-difference equations with two independent variables is presented and shown that the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) and Burger's equations, Volterra and relativistic Toda (RT) lattice equations admit a sequence of nonlocal symmetries. An algorithm, exploiting the obtained nonlocal symmetries, is proposed to derive recursion operators involving nonlocal variables and illustrated it for the KdV and Burger's equations, Volterra and RT lattice equations and shown that the former three equations admit factorisable recursion operators while the RT lattice equation possesses (2×2) matrix factorisable recursion operator. The existence of nonlocal symmetries and the corresponding recursion operator of partial differential and differential-difference equations does not always determine their mathematical structures, for example, bi-Hamiltonian representation.     

Algebraic properties of Gardner’s deformations for integrable systems

We formulate an algebraic definition of Gardner’s deformations for completely integrable bi-Hamiltonian evolutionary systems. The proposed approach extends the class of deformable equations and yields new integrable evolutionary and hyperbolic Liouville-type systems. We find an exactly solvable two-component extension of the Liouville equation. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 152, No. 1, pp. 101–117, July, 2007.     

A generalized AKNS hierarchy and its bi-Hamiltonian structures

First we construct a new isospectral problem with 8 potentials in the present paper. And then a new Lax pair is presented. By making use of Tu scheme, a class of new soliton hierarchy of equations is derived, which is integrable in the sense of Liouville and possesses bi-Hamiltonian structures. After making some reductions, the well-known AKNS hierarchy and other hierarchies of evolution equations are obtained. Finally, in order to illustrate that soliton hierarchy obtained in the paper possesses bi-Hamiltonian structures exactly, we prove that the linear combination of two-Hamiltonian operators admitted are also a Hamiltonian operator constantly. We point out that two Hamiltonian operators obtained of the system are directly derived from a recurrence relations, not from a recurrence operator.     

Multidimensional parametrization and numerical solution of systems of nonlinear equations

The numerical solution of a system of nonlinear algebraic or transcendental equations is examined within the framework of the parameter continuation method. An earlier result of the author according to which the best parameters should be sought in the tangent space of the solution set of this system is now refined to show that the directions of the eigenvectors of a certain linear self-adjoint operator should be used for finding these parameters. These directions correspond to the extremal values of the quadratic form associated with the above operator. The parametric approximation of curves and surfaces is considered.     

Etude statistique des erreurs dans l'arithmetique des ordinateurs; application au controle des resultats d'algorithmes numeriques

Since numerical calculations on a digital computer are performed on operands with a limited number of significant digits it follows that each operator in the computational arithmetic is merely an approximation of the corresponding mathematical operator.Therefore every numerical operation carried out on a computer generates a numerical error.The statistical evaluation of these errors is discussed in the first part of the paper. In the second part, the formulae obtained above are used to assess the validity of numerical results obtained in resolution of linear systems, algebraic equations and in matrix inversion.     

Master symmetries for Volterra equation, Belov–Chaltikian and Blaszak–Marciniak lattice equations

It is shown how to derive master symmetries for nonlinear lattice equations systematically using the basic principles but without using either their zero curvature equations or the bi-Hamiltonian structure. This has been illustrated for Volterra equation, two coupled Belov–Chaltikian (BC), and three coupled Blaszak–Marciniak (BM) lattice equations. The existence of a sequence of master symmetries is one of the characteristics of completely integrable nonlinear partial differential and differential–difference equations admitting Hamiltonian structure.     

Bi-Hamiltonian structures and singularities of integrable systems

A Hamiltonian system on a Poisson manifold M is called integrable if it possesses sufficiently many commuting first integrals f ₁, … f _s which are functionally independent on M almost everywhere. We study the structure of the singular set K where the differentials df ₁, …, df _s become linearly dependent and show that in the case of bi-Hamiltonian systems this structure is closely related to the properties of the corresponding pencil of compatible Poisson brackets. The main goal of the paper is to illustrate this relationship and to show that the bi-Hamiltonian approach can be extremely effective in the study of singularities of integrable systems, especially in the case of many degrees of freedom when using other methods leads to serious computational problems. Since in many examples the underlying bi-Hamiltonian structure has a natural algebraic interpretation, the technology developed in this paper allows one to reformulate analytic and topological questions related to the dynamics of a given system into pure algebraic language, which leads to simple and natural answers.     

Boundary value problems for second-order differential operator equations

It is proved that the resolution problem of an operator boundary-value problem for a second-order differential operator equation with constant coefficients is solved in terms of solutions of certain algebraic operator equations. Explicit expressions of solutions are given.     

An integral operational matrix based on Jacobi polynomials for solving fractional-order differential equations

This paper aims to construct a general formulation for the Jacobi operational matrix of fractional integral operator. Fractional calculus has been used to model physical and engineering processes that are found to be best described by fractional differential equations. Therefore, a reliable and efficient technique for the solution of them is too important. For the concept of fractional derivative we will adopt Caputo’s definition by using Riemann–Liouville fractional integral operator. Our main aim is to generalize the Jacobi integral operational matrix to the fractional calculus. These matrices together with the Tau method are then utilized to reduce the solution of this problem to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. The method is applied to solve linear and nonlinear fractional differential equations. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the presented technique.     

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.     

New hierarchy of integrable system bi-Hamiltonian structure and constrained flows

We have considered the hierarchy of integrable systems associated with the unstable nonlinear Schrodinger equation. The spectral gradient approach and the trace identity are used to derive the bi-Hamiltonian structure of the system. The bi-Hamiltonian property and the square eigenfunctions determined via the spectral gradient approach are then used to construct constrained flows, which is also proved to be derivable from a rational Lax operator. This new Lax operator of the constrained flows is seen to generate the classical r-matrix. Lastly it is also explicitly demonstrated that the different integrals of motion of the constrained flows Poisson commute.     

Characterization of kernel functions associated with operator algebraic Riccati equations for linear delay systems

In infinite time quadratic control and stochastic filtering problems for linear delay systems, operator algebraic Riccati equations play a very important role. However, since these are abstract operator equations, it is very useful, in analyzing their structure, to be able to characterize the kernel functions associated with the solutions of the operator Riccati equations. The kernel functions are given by the unique solution of a set of coupled differential equations. By comparing these kernel equations with similar ones available in the literature, it is shown that this characterization result is somewhat stronger than previously known results. Possible extentions to systems with control, observation, as well as state delays are also pointed out.     

Fredholm property of elliptic boundary value problems for partial differential and differential- operator equations

In this paper we find conditions on boundary value problems for elliptic differential-operator equations of the 4-th order in an interval to be fredholm. Apparently, this is the first publication for elliptic differential-operator equations of the 4-th order, when the principal part of the equation has the form u′?n(t) + Au″(t) + Bu(t), where AB^-1/2 is a bounded operator and is not compact. As an application we find some algebraic conditions on boundary value problems for elliptic partial equations of the 4-th order in cylindrical domains to be fredholm. Note that a new method has actually been suggested here for investigation of boundary value problems for elliptic partial equations of the 4-th order.     

Hyperbolicity of periodic solutions of functional differential equations with several delays

We study conditions for the hyperbolicity of periodic solutions to nonlinear functional differential equations in terms of the eigenvalues of the monodromy operator. The eigenvalue problem for the monodromy operator is reduced to a boundary value problem for a system of ordinary differential equations with a spectral parameter. This makes it possible to construct a characteristic function. We prove that the zeros of this function coincide with the eigenvalues of the monodromy operator and, under certain additional conditions, the multiplicity of a zero of the characteristic function coincides with the algebraic multiplicity of the corresponding eigenvalue.

The WDVV symmetries in two-primary models

From the bi-Hamiltonian standpoint, we investigate symmetries of Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde (WDVV) equations proposed by Dubrovin. These symmetries can be viewed as canonical Miura transformations between genus-zero bi-Hamiltonian systems of hydrodynamic type. In particular, we show that the moduli space of two-primary models under symmetries of the WDVV equations can be parameterized by the polytropic exponent h. We discuss the transformation properties of the free energy at the genus-one level.
