Conservation Laws and Non-Lie Symmetries for Linear PDEs

Abstract

We introduce a method to construct conservation laws for a large class of linear partial differential equations. In contrast to the classical result of Noether, the conserved currents are generated by any symmetry of the operator, including those of the non-Lie type. An explicit example is made of the Dirac equation were we use our construction to find a class of conservation laws associated with a 64 dimensional Lie algebra of discrete symmetries that includes CPT.

On the Inverse Scattering Method for Integrable PDEs on a Star Graph

We present a framework to solve the open problem of formulating the inverse scattering method (ISM) for an integrable PDE on a star-graph. The idea is to map the problem on the graph to a matrix initial-boundary value (IBV) problem and then to extend the unified method of Fokas to such a matrix IBV problem. The nonlinear Schrödinger equation is chosen to illustrate the method. The framework unifies all previously known examples which are recovered as particular cases. The case of general Robin conditions at the vertex is discussed: the notion of linearizable initial-boundary conditions is introduced. For such conditions, the method is shown to be as efficient as the ISM on the full-line.     

Lie Algebras for Constructing Nonlinear Integrable Couplings

Two new explicit Lie algebras are introduced for which the nonlinear integrable couplings of the Giachetti-Johnson (GJ) hierarchy and the Yang hierarchy are obtained, respectively. By employing the variational identity their Hamiltonian structures are also generated. The approach presented in the paper can also
provide nonlinear integrable couplings of other soliton hierarchies of evolution equations.     

Nonlinear Transformations and Integrable Evolution Equations

The transformation properties of the partial differential equations integrable by the inverse scattering transform method are considered. It is shown that the nonlinear transformations characteristic to the integrable equations (symmetry groups, Backlund-transformations) and integrable equations themselves are contained in certain universal nonlinear transformations group which is defined by linear spectral problem.

Van Kampen and Case Formalism Applied to Linear and Weakly Nonlinear Initial Value Problems in Unmagnetized Plasma

A unified account is given of the normal mode theory of homogeneous unmagnetized plasma. Electron (Langmuir), ion sound and electromagnetic waves are treated in stable and (Penrose) unstable plasma with the Van Kampen-Case formalism, using generalized functions. Simplified formulae are derived for second-order Langmuir waves, taking full account of free-streaming effects.     

通过类比Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus理论再议Marcus的电子转移速率：关于线性和非线性溶剂化情形的统一形式

R. A. Marcus在他开拓性的工作中,考察了溶剂化效应对电子转移过程的影响,并给出了著名的非绝热电子转移速率公式. 本文基于热力学溶剂化势能面的分析,从Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus理论的角度重新考察了Marcus的公式. 由类比Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus得到的理论,不仅可以适用于线性溶剂化的情形并得到Marcus的速率公式,也同样可以用于非线性溶剂化的情形. 在非线性溶剂化的情形下,会存在溶剂化势能面的多点交叉. 本文平行地考察了Fermi黄金规则给出的相应结果,并对比本工作中所提出的Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus类似理论进行了批判性的讨论. 作为例释,考察了二次型溶剂化的情形. 对于这种情形,物理上存在良好的描述方案.     

A Hierarchy of Integrable Nonlinear Lattice Equations and New Integrable Symplectic Map

A discrete spectral problem is discussed, and a hierarchy of integrable nonlinear lattice equations related tothis spectral problem is devised. The new integrable symplectic map and finite-dimensional integrable systems are givenby nonlinearization method. The binary Bargmann constraint gives rise to a Backlund transformation for the resultingintegrable lattice equations.     

New Integrable and Linearizable Nonlinear Difference Equations

A systematic investigation to derive nonlinear lattice equations governed by partial difference equations (PΔΔE) admitting specific Lax representation is presented. Further it is shown that for a specific value of the parameter the derived nonlinear PΔΔE's can be transformed into a linear PΔΔE's under a global transformation. Also it is demonstrated how to derive higher order ordinary difference equations (OΔE) or mappings in general and linearizable ones in particular from the obtained nonlinear PΔΔE's through periodic reduction. The question of measure preserving property of the obtained OΔE's and the construction of more than one integrals (or invariants) of them is examined wherever possible.

The Quantum Formalism and the GRW Formalism

The Ghirardi–Rimini–Weber (GRW) theory of spontaneous wave function collapse is known to provide a quantum theory without observers, in fact two different ones by using either the matter density ontology (GRWm) or the flash ontology (GRWf). Both theories are known to make predictions different from those of quantum mechanics, but the difference is so small that no decisive experiment can as yet be performed. While some testable deviations from quantum mechanics have long been known, we provide here something that has until now been missing: a formalism that succinctly summarizes the empirical predictions of GRWm and GRWf. We call it the GRW formalism. Its structure is similar to that of the quantum formalism but involves different operators. In other words, we establish the validity of a general algorithm for directly computing the testable predictions of GRWm and GRWf. We further show that some well-defined quantities cannot be measured in a GRWm or GRWf world.

Mathematical Formalism of Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics for Nonlinear Chemical Reaction Systems with General Rate Law

This paper studies a mathematical formalism of nonequilibrium thermodynamics for chemical reaction models with N species, M reactions, and general rate law. We establish a mathematical basis for J. W. Gibbs’ macroscopic chemical thermodynamics under G. N. Lewis’ kinetic law of entire equilibrium (detailed balance in nonlinear chemical kinetics). In doing so, the equilibrium thermodynamics is then naturally generalized to nonequilibrium settings without detailed balance. The kinetic models are represented by a Markovian jumping process. A generalized macroscopic chemical free energy function and its associated balance equation with nonnegative source and sink are the major discoveries. The proof is based on the large deviation principle of this type of Markov processes. A general fluctuation dissipation theorem for stochastic reaction kinetics is also proved. The mathematical theory illustrates how a novel macroscopic dynamic law can emerges from the mesoscopic kinetics in a multi-scale system.
