Elliptic solutions of nonlinear integrable equations and related topics

The theory of elliptic solitons for the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation and the dynamics of the corresponding Calogero-Moser system is integrated. It is found that all the elliptic solutions for the KP equation manifest themselves in terms of Riemann theta functions which are associated with algebraic curves admitting a realization in the form of a covering of the initial elliptic curve with some special properties. These curves are given in the paper by explicit formulae. We further give applications of the elliptic Baker-Akhiezer function to generalized elliptic genera of manifolds and to algebraic 2-valued formal groups.Dedicated to the memory of J.-L. Verdier

Solution of Volterra partial integral equations with the use of differential equations

We consider Volterra partial differential equations with two and three independent variables and reduce them to Goursat problems, whose solutions are constructed by the Riemann method. We single out cases in which the corresponding Riemann functions (and hence the solutions of the original equations) can be written out in closed form.     

Three-Dimensional Water Waves

We study the evolution of small-amplitude water waves when the fluid motion is three dimensional. An isotropic pseudodifferential equation that governs the evolution of the free surface of a fluid with arbitrary, uniform depth is derived. It is shown to reduce to the Benney-Luke equation, the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation, and to the nonlinear shallow water theory in the appropriate limits. We compute, numerically, doubly periodic solutions to this equation. In the weakly two-dimensional long wave limit, the computed patterns and nonlinear dispersion relations agree well with those of the doubly periodic theta function solutions to the KP equation. These solutions correspond to traveling hexagonal wave patterns, and they have been compared with experimental measurements by Hammack, Scheffner, and Segur. In the fully two-dimensional long wave case, the solutions deviate considerably from those of KP, indicating the limitation of that equation. In the finite depth case, both resonant and nonresonant traveling wave patterns are obtained.     

The Discrete KP and KdV Equations over Finite Fields

We propose an algebro-geometric method for constructing solutions of the discrete KP equation over a finite field. We also perform the corresponding reduction to the finite-field version of the discrete KdV equation. We write formulas that allow constructing multisoliton solutions of the equations starting from vacuum wave functions on an arbitrary nonsingular curve.     

Elliptic Families of Solutions of the Kadomtsev--Petviashvili Equation and the Field Elliptic Calogero--Moser System

We present a Lax pair for the field elliptic Calogero-Moser system and establish a connection between this system and the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation. Namely, we consider elliptic families of solutions of the KP equation such that their poles satisfy a constraint of being balanced. We show that the dynamics of these poles is described by a reduction of the field elliptic CM system.We construct a wide class of solutions to the field elliptic CM system by showing that any N-fold branched cover of an elliptic curve gives rise to an elliptic family of solutions of the KP equation with balanced poles.     

Super Riemann theta function periodic wave solutions and rational characteristics for a supersymmetric KdV-Burgers equation

Using a multidimensional super Riemann theta function, we propose two key theorems for explicitly constructing multiperiodic super Riemann theta function periodic wave solutions of supersymmetric equations in the superspace ℝ _Λ^N+1,M, which is a lucid and direct generalization of the super-Hirota-Riemann method. Once a supersymmetric equation is written in a bilinear form, its super Riemann theta function periodic wave solutions can be directly obtained by using our two theorems. As an application, we present a supersymmetric Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation. We study the limit procedure in detail and rigorously establish the asymptotic behavior of the multiperiodic waves and the relations between periodic wave solutions and soliton solutions. Moreover, we find that in contrast to the purely bosonic case, an interesting phenomenon occurs among the super Riemann theta function periodic waves in the presence of the Grassmann variable. The super Riemann theta function periodic waves are symmetric about the band but collapse along with the band. Furthermore, the results can be extended to the case N > 2; here, we only consider an existence condition for an N-periodic wave solution of a general supersymmetric equation.     

Solutions of the main boundary value problems for a loaded second-order parabolic equation with constant coefficients

We give well-posed statements of the main initial–boundary value problems in a rectangular domain and in a half-strip for a second-order parabolic equation that contains partial Riemann–Liouville fractional derivatives with respect to one of the two independent variables. We construct Green functions and representations of solutions of these problems. We prove existence and uniqueness theorems for the first boundary value problem and the problem in the half-strip with the boundary condition of the first kind.     

On the Derivation of the Modified Kadomtsev-Petviashvili Equation

It is well known that the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation is the two-dimensional analogue of the Korteweg—de Vries (KdV) equation. We reconsider the derivation of the KP equation, modified to include the effects of rotation, in order to determine the nature of the initial conditions. The motivation for this is that if the solutions of the modified KP equation are assumed to be locally confined, then they satisfy a certain constraint, which appears to restrict considerably the class of allowed initial conditions. The outcome of the analysis presented here is that in general it is not permissible to assume that solutions of the modified KP equation are locally confined, and hence the constraint cannot be applied. The reason for this is the radiation of Poincaré waves, which appear behind the main part of the solution described by the modified KP equation.     

Numerical computation of the finite-genus solutions of the Korteweg–de Vries equation via Riemann–Hilbert problems

In this letter we describe how to compute the finite-genus solutions of the Korteweg–de Vries equation using a Riemann–Hilbert problem that is satisfied by the Baker–Akhiezer function corresponding to a Schrödinger operator with finite-gap spectrum. The recovery of the corresponding finite-genus solution is performed using the asymptotics of the Baker–Akhiezer function. This method has the benefit that the space and time dependence of the Baker–Akhiezer function appear in an explicit, linear and computable way. We make use of recent advances in the numerical solution of Riemann–Hilbert problems to produce an efficient and uniformly accurate numerical method for computing all finite-genus solutions of the KdV equation.     

Soliton-like structures and the connection between the Bq and KP equations

We study the (2+1)-dimensional model proposed by Kadomtsev and Petviashvili (KP) to describe slowly varying nonlinear waves in a dispersive medium. Applying an appropriate Lie transformation and following the method introduced by Tajiri et al., the KP equation is reduced to a one-dimensional equation, that is, to a certain version of the Boussinesq equation (BqE). Then, we solve the BqE by the Hirota method, and finally we use the inverse transformation in order to obtain de KP solutions. We Analyze some remarkable properties of the solutions found in this work.     

The Dynamics of Zeros of Finite-Gap Solutions of the Schrödinger Equation

We study a system of particles on a Riemann surface with a puncture. This system describes the behavior of zeros of finite-gap solutions of the Schrödinger equation corresponding to a degenerate hyperelliptic curve. We show that this system is Hamiltonian and integrable by constructing action-angle type coordinates.     

Cylindrical Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation: Old and new results

We review results on the cylindrical Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (CKP) equation, also known as the Johnson equation. The presentation is based on our results. In particular, we show that the Lax pairs corresponding to the KP and the CKP equations are gauge equivalent. We also describe some important classes of solutions obtained using the Darboux transformation approach. We present plots of exact solutions of the CKP equation including finite-gap solutions.

Wave propagation through a 2D lattice

Nonlinear wave propagation through a 2D lattice is investigated. Using reductive perturbation method, we show that this can be described by Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation for quadratic nonlinearity and modified KP equation for cubic nonlinearity, respectively. With quadratic and cubic nonlinearities together, the system is governed by an integro-differential equation. We have also checked the integrability of these equations using singularity analysis and obtained solitary wave solutions.     

Exact solutions of a two-fluid model of two-phase compressible flows with gravity

We aim at determining and computing a class of exact solutions of a two-fluid model of two-phase flows with/without gravity. The model is described by a non-hyperbolic system of balance laws whose characteristic fields may not be given explicitly, making it perhaps impossible to solve the Riemann problem. First, we investigate Riemann invariants in the linearly degenerate characteristic fields and obtain a surprising result on the corresponding contact waves of the model without gravity. Second, even when gravity is allowed, we show that smooth stationary solutions can be governed by a system of differential equations in divergence form, which determines jump relations for any stationary discontinuity wave. Using these relations, we establish a nonlinear equation for the pressure and propose a method to compute the pressure and then the equilibria resulted by a stationary wave.     

A pfaffian version of the modified discrete KP equation

We first present Casorati determinant and Gram-type determinant solutions to a modified discrete KP equation and then produce a pfaffianized version of modified discrete KP equations by using Hirota and Ohta's pfaffianization procedure. The solutions to a coupled modified discrete KP equation are expressed by two types of pfaffians.     

Solitary waves in dusty plasmas with variable dust charge and two temperature ions

Propagation of nonlinear waves in dusty plasmas with variable dust charge and two temperature ions is analyzed. The Kadomtsev–Petviashivili (KP) equation is derived by using the reductive perturbation theory. A Sagdeev potential for this system has been proposed. This potential is used to study the stability conditions and existence of solitonic solutions. Also, it is shown that a rarefactive soliton can be propagates in most of the cases. The soliton energy has been calculated and a linear dispersion relation has been obtained using the standard normal-modes analysis. The effects of variable dust charge on the amplitude, width and energy of the soliton and its effects on the angular frequency of linear wave are discussed too. It is shown that the amplitude of solitary waves of KP equation diverges at critical values of plasma parameters. Solitonic solutions of modified KP equation with finite amplitude in this situation are derived.     

Super quasiperiodic wave solutions and asymptotic analysis for $$ \mathcal{N} = 1 $$ supersymmetric KdV-type equations

Based on a general multidimensional Riemann theta function and the super Hirota bilinear form, we extend the Hirota method to construct explicit super quasiperiodic (multiperiodic) wave solutions of $ \mathcal{N} = 1 $ \mathcal{N} = 1 supersymmetric KdV-type equations in superspace. We show that the supersymmetric KdV equation does not have an N-periodic wave solution with arbitrary parameters for N ≥ 2. In addition, an interesting influencing band occurs among the super quasiperiodic waves under the presence of a Grassmann variable. We also observe that the super quasiperiodic waves are symmetric about this band but collapse along with it. We present a limit procedure for analyzing the asymptotic properties of the super quasiperiodic waves and rigorously show that the super periodic wave solutions tend to super soliton solutions under some “small amplitude” limits.     

Algebraic geometry and soliton dynamics

Algebro-geometric sectors of solutions of the KP hierarchy are described in terms of τ-functions and vertex operators. Some useful identities involving theta functions and prime forms on Riemann surfaces are provided which are applied to obtain explicit solutions in the bilinear formalism. By using a dressing method for τ-functions the soliton dynamics against the background of quasiperiodic solutions is characterized. Furthermore, a formula for the soliton shifts in terms of prime forms on Riemann surfaces is obtained.
