On the Geometry of Darboux Transformations for the KP Hierarchy and its Connection with the Discrete KP Hierarchy

We tackle the problem of interpreting the Darboux transformation for the KP hierarchy and its relations with the modified KP hierarchy from a geometric point of view. This is achieved by introducing the concept of a Darboux covering. We construct a Darboux covering of the KP equations and obtain a new hierarchy of equations, which we call the Darboux-KP hierarchy (DKP). We employ the DKP equations to discuss the relationships among the KP equations, the modified KP equations, and the discrete KP equations. Our approach also handles the various reductions of the KP hierarchy. We show that the KP hierarchy is a projection of the DKP, the mKP hierarchy is a DKP restriction to a suitable invariant submanifold, and that the discrete KP equations are obtained as iterations of the DKP ones.

On the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources

The modified discrete KP equation is the Bäcklund transformation for the Hirota’s discrete KP equation or the Hirota-Miwa equation. We construct the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources via source generation procedure and clarify the algebraic structure of the resulting coupled modified discrete KP system by presenting its discrete Gram-type determinant solutions. It is also shown that the commutativity between the source generation procedure and Bäcklund transformation is valid for the discrete KP equation. Finally, we demonstrate that the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources yields the modified differential-difference KP equation with self-consistent sources through a continuum limit. The continuum limit of an explicit solution to the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources also gives the explicit solution for the modified differential-difference KP equation with self-consistent sources.     

Lump and lump-soliton interaction solutions for an integrable variable coefficient Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation

For a variable coefficient Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation the Lax pair as well as conjugate Lax pair are derived from the Painleve analysis.The N-fold binary Darboux transformation is presented in a compact form.As an application,the multi-lump,higher-order lump and general lump-soliton interaction solutions for the variable coefficient KP equation are obtained.Typical lump structures with amplitudes exponentially decaying to zero as the time tends to infinity and interactions between one lump and one soliton are shown.     

On a reduction of the generalized Darboux–Halphen system

The equations for the general Darboux–Halphen system obtained as a reduction of the self-dual Yang–Mills can be transformed to a third-order system which resembles the classical Darboux–Halphen system with a common additive terms. It is shown that the transformed system can be further reduced to a constrained non-autonomous, non-homogeneous dynamical system. This dynamical system becomes homogeneous for the classical Darboux–Halphen case, and was studied in the context of self-dual Einstein's equations for Bianchi IX metrics. A Lax pair and Hamiltonian for this reduced system is derived and the solutions for the system are prescribed in terms of hypergeometric functions.     

Integral-Type Darboux Transformations for the mKdV Hierarchy with Self-Consistent Sources

We present integral-type Darboux transformation for the mKdV hierarchy and for the mKdV hierarchy withself-consistent sources. In contrast with the normal Darboux transformation, the integral-type Darboux transformationscan offer non-auto-Backlund transformation between two (2n 1)-th mKdV equations with self-consistent sources withdifferent degrees. This kind of Darboux transformation enables us to construct the N-soliton solution for the mKdVhierarchy with self-consistent sources. We also propose the formulas for the m times repeated integral-type Darbouxtransformations for both mKdV hierarchy and mKdV hierarchy with self-consistent sources.

Vertex Operator Solutions to the Discrete KP-Hierarchy

Vertex operators, which are disguised Darboux maps, transform solutions of the KP equation into new ones. In this paper, we show that the bi-infinite sequence obtained by Darboux transforming an arbitrary KP solution recursively forward and backwards, yields a solution to the discrete KP-hierarchy. The latter is a KP hierarchy where the continuous space $x$-variable gets replaced by a discrete $n$-variable. The fact that these sequences satisfy the discrete KP hierarchy is tantamount to certain bilinear relations connecting the consecutive KP solutions in the sequence. At the Grassmannian level, these relations are equivalent to a very simple fact, which is the nesting of the associated infinite-dimensional planes (flag). The discrete KP hierarchy can thus be viewed as a container for an entire ensemble of vertex or Darboux generated KP solutions. It turns out that many new and old systems lead to such discrete (semi-infinite) solutions, like sequences of soliton solutions, with more and more solitons, sequences of Calogero–Moser systems, having more and more particles, just to mention a few examples; this is developed in [3]. In this paper, as another example, we show that the q-KP hierarchy maps, via a kind of Fourier transform, into the discrete KP hierarchy, enabling us to write down a very large class of solutions to the q-KP hierarchy. This was also reported in a brief note [4]. Received: 27 August 1998 / Accepted: 24 November 1998     

On Coupled KdV Equations with Self-consistent Sources

The coupled Korteweg-de Vries （CKdV） equation with self-consistent sources （CKdVESCS） and its Lax representation are derived. We present a generalized binary Darboux transformation （GBDT） with an arbitrary time- dependent function for the CKdVESCS as well as the formula for the N-times repeated GBDT. This GBDT provides non-auto-Biicklund transformation between two CKdVESCSs with different degrees of sources and enables us to construct more generM solutions with N arbitrary t-dependent functions. We obtain positon, negaton, complexiton, and negaton- positon solutions of the CKdVESCS.     

The quasiclassical limit of the symmetry constraint of the KP hierarchy and the dispersionless KP hierarchy with self-consistent sources

Abstract

For the first time we show that the quasiclassical limit of the symmetry constraint of the Sato operator for the KP hierarchy leads to the generalized Zakharov reduction of the Sato function for the dispersionless KP (dKP) hierarchy which has been proved to be result of symmetry constraint of the dKP hierarchy recently. By either regarding the symmetry constrained dKP hierarchy as its stationary case or taking the dispersionless limit of the KP hierarchy with self-consistent sources directly, we construct a new integrable dispersionless hierarchy, i.e., the dKP hierarchy with self-consistent sources and find its associated conservation equations (or equations of Hamilton-Jacobi type). Some solutions of the dKP equation with self-consistent sources are also obtained by hodograph transformations.     

Generation of static solutions of the self-consistent system of Einstein-Maxwell equations

A theorem is proved, according to which to each solution of the Einstein equations with an arbitrary momentum-energy tensor in the right hand side there corresponds a static solution of the self-consistent system of Einstein-Maxwell equations. As a consequence of this theorem, a method is established of generating static solutions of the self-consistent system of Einstein-Maxwell equations with a charged grain as a source of vacuum solutions of the Einstein equations.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 2, pp. 98–102, February, 1988.     

Discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources

We show that the discrete Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation with sources obtained recently by the “source generalization” method can be incorporated into the squared eigenfunction symmetry extension procedure. Moreover, using the known correspondence between Darboux-type transformations and additional independent variables, we demonstrate that the equation with sources can be derived from Hirota's discrete KP equations but in a space of higher dimension. In this way we uncover the origin of the source terms as coming from multidimensional consistency of the Hirota system itself.     

NEW TYPE OF NONISOSPECTRAL KP EQUATION WITH SELF-CONSISTENT SOURCES AND ITS BILINEAR BÄCKLUND TRANSFORMATION

A new type of the nonisospectral KP equation with self-consistent sources is constructed by using the source generation procedure. A new feature of the obtained nonisospectral system is that we allow y-dependence of the arbitrary constants in the determinantal solution for the nonisospectral KP equation. In order to further show integrability of the novel nonisospectral KP equation with self-consistent sources, we give a bilinear Bäcklund transformation.     

Self-Consistent Sources Extensions of Modified Differential-Difference KP Equation

In this paper, we investigate a modified differential-difference KP equation which is shown to have a continuum limit into the mKP equation. It is also shown that the solution of the modified differential-difference KP equation is related to the solution of the differential-difference KP equation through a Miura transformation. We first present the Grammian solution to the modified differential-difference KP equation, and then produce a coupled modified differential-difference KP system by applying the source generation procedure. The explicit N-soliton solution of the resulting coupled modified differential-difference system is expressed in compact forms by using the Grammian determinant and Casorati determinant. We also construct and solve another form of the self-consistent sources extension of the modified differential-difference KP equation, which constitutes a Bäcklund transformation for the differential-difference KP equation with self-consistent sources.     

Matrix KP: tropical limit and Yang–Baxter maps

We study soliton solutions of matrix Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equations in a tropical limit, in which their support at fixed time is a planar graph and polarizations are attached to its constituting lines. There is a subclass of “pure line soliton solutions” for which we find that, in this limit, the distribution of polarizations is fully determined by a Yang–Baxter map. For a vector KP equation, this map is given by an R-matrix, whereas it is a nonlinear map in the case of a more general matrix KP equation. We also consider the corresponding Korteweg–deVries reduction. Furthermore, exploiting the fine structure of soliton interactions in the tropical limit, we obtain an apparently new solution of the tetrahedron (or Zamolodchikov) equation. Moreover, a solution of the functional tetrahedron equation arises from the parameter dependence of the vector KP R-matrix.

     

A Unified Explicit Construction of 2N-Soliton Solutions for Evolution Equations Determined by 2×2 AKNS System

An explicit N-fold Darboux transformation for evolution equations determined by general 2×2 AKNS system is constructed. By using the Darboux transformation, the solutions of the evolution equations are reduced to solving alinear algebraic system, from which a unified and explicit formulation of 2N-soliton solutions for the evolution equation are given. Furthermore, a reduction technique for MKdV equation is presented, and an N-fold Darboux transformation of MKdV hierarchy is constructed through the reduction technique. A Maple package which can entirely automatically output the exact N-soliton solutions of the MKdV equation is developed.     

Darboux transformation for two‐level system

We develop the Darboux procedure for the case of the two‐level system. In particular, it is demonstrated that one can construct the Darboux intertwining operator that does not violate the specific structure of the equations of the two‐level system, transforming only one real potential into another real potential. We apply the obtained Darboux transformation to known exact solutions of the two‐level system. Thus, we find three classes of new solutions for the two‐level system and the corresponding new potentials that allow such solutions.     

On the extended KdV equation with self-consistent sources

The positive extended KdV equation with self-consistent sources (eKdV⁺ ESCSs) is firstly presented and its related linear auxiliary equation is derived. The generalized binary Darboux transformation (DT) is applied to construct some new solutions of the eKdV⁺ ESCSs such as N-soliton solution, N-double pole solution and nonsingular N-positon solution. The properties of these solutions are analyzed. Moreover, the interaction of two solitons is discussed in detail.     

Exact solutions of the nonlocal Gerdjikov-Ivanov equation

The nonlocal nonlinear Gerdjikov-Ivanov (GI) equation is one of the most important integrable equations, which can be reduced from the third generic deformation of the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The Darboux transformation is a successful method in solving many nonlocal equations with the help of symbolic computation. As applications, we obtain the bright-dark soliton, breather, rogue wave, kink, W-shaped soliton and periodic solutions of the nonlocal GI equation by constructing its 2n-fold Darboux transformation. These solutions show rich wave structures for selections of different parameters. In all these instances we practically show that these solutions have different properties than the ones for local case.     

New Multi-soliton Solutions for the （2＋1）-Dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili Equation

In this paper, an explicit N-fold Darboux transformation with multi-parameters for both a （1＋1）- dimensional Broer-Kaup （BK） equation and a （1＋1）-dimensional high-order Broer-Kaup equation is constructed with the help of a gauge transformation of their spectral problems. By using the Darboux transformation and new basic solutions of the spectral problems, 2N-soliton solutions of the BK equation, the high-order BK equation, and the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili （KP） equation are obtained.     

LAX PAIR,BINARY DARBOUX TRANSFORMATION AND NEW GRAMMIAN SOLUTIONS OF NONISOSPECTRAL KADOMTSEV–PETVIASHVILI EQUATION WITH THE TWO-SINGULAR-MANIFOLD METHOD

In this letter, the two-singular-manifold method is applied to the (2+1)-dimensional nonisospectral Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation with two Painlevé expansion branches to determine auto-Bäcklund transformation, Lax pairs and Darboux transformation. Based on the two obtained Lax pairs, the binary Darboux transformation is constructed and then the Nth iterated transformation formula in the form of Grammian is also presented. By using these Darboux transformations, we obtain some new grammian solutions.
