Multi-component Harry--Dym hierarchy and its integrable couplings as well as their Hamiltonian structures

This paper obtains the multi-component Harry--Dym (H--D) hierarchy and its integrable couplings by using two kinds of vector loop algebras \widetilde{G}₃ and \widetilde{G}₆. The Hamiltonian structures of the above system are given by the quadratic-form identity. The method can be used to produce the Hamiltonian structures of the other integrable couplings or multi-component hierarchies.     

Multi-component Dirac equation hierarchy and its multi-component integrable couplings system

A general scheme for generating a multi-component integrable equation hierarchy is proposed. A simple 3M-dimensional loop algebra \tilde{X} is produced. By taking advantage of \tilde{X}, a new isospectral problem is established and then by making use of the Tu scheme the multi-component Dirac equation hierarchy is obtained. Finally, an expanding loop algebra \tilde{F}_M of the loop algebra \tilde{X} is presented. Based on the \tilde{F}_M, the multi-component integrable coupling system of the multi-component Dirac equation hierarchy is investigated. The method in this paper can be applied to other nonlinear evolution equation hierarchies.

This paper presents a set of multicomponent matrix Lie algebra, which is used to construct a new loop algebra A^-M. By using the Tu scheme, a Liouville integrable multicomponent equation hierarchy is generated, which possesses the Hamiltonian structure. As its reduction cases, the multicomponent （2＋1）-dimensional Glachette-Johnson （G J） hierarchy is given. Finally, the super-integrable coupling system of multicomponent （2＋1）-dimensional GJ hierarchy is established through enlarging the spectral problem.     

A New Integrable Hierarchy,Parametric Solutions and Traveling Wave Solutions

In this paper we give a new integrable hierarchy. In the hierarchy there are the following representatives:

A Corresponding Lie Algebra of a Reductive homogeneous Group and Its Applications

With the help of a Lie algebra of a reductive homogeneous space G/K, where G is a Lie group and K is a resulting isotropy group, we introduce a Lax pair for which an expanding(2+1)-dimensional integrable hierarchy is obtained by applying the binormial-residue representation(BRR) method, whose Hamiltonian structure is derived from the trace identity for deducing(2+1)-dimensional integrable hierarchies, which was proposed by Tu, et al. We further consider some reductions of the expanding integrable hierarchy obtained in the paper. The first reduction is just right the(2+1)-dimensional AKNS hierarchy, the second-type reduction reveals an integrable coupling of the(2+1)-dimensional AKNS equation(also called the Davey-Stewartson hierarchy), a kind of(2+1)-dimensional Schr¨odinger equation, which was once reobtained by Tu, Feng and Zhang. It is interesting that a new(2+1)-dimensional integrable nonlinear coupled equation is generated from the reduction of the part of the(2+1)-dimensional integrable coupling, which is further reduced to the standard(2+1)-dimensional diffusion equation along with a parameter. In addition, the well-known(1+1)-dimensional AKNS hierarchy, the(1+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation are all special cases of the(2+1)-dimensional expanding integrable hierarchy. Finally, we discuss a few discrete difference equations of the diffusion equation whose stabilities are analyzed by making use of the von Neumann condition and the Fourier method. Some numerical solutions of a special stationary initial value problem of the(2+1)-dimensional diffusion equation are obtained and the resulting convergence and estimation formula are investigated.     

A generalized SHGI integrable hierarchy and its expanding integrable model

An anti-symmetric loop algebra \overline{A}_2 is constructed. It follows that an integrable system is obtained by use of Tu's scheme. The eminent feature of this integrable system is that it is reduced to a generalized Schr?dinger equation, the well-known heat-conduction equation and a Gerdjkov－Ivanov (GI) equation. Therefore, we call it a generalized SHGI hierarchy. Next, a new high-dimensional subalgebra \tilde{G} of the loop algebra ?_2 is constructed. As its application, a new expanding integrable system with six potential functions is engendered.     

On integrable systems close to the toda lattice

We study the generalized discrete self-trapping (DST) system formulated in terms of the u(n) Lie-Poisson algebra as well as its noncompact analog given on the gl(n) algebra. The Hamiltonian is a quadratic-linear function of the algebra generators where the quadratic part consists of the squared generators of the Cartan subalgebra only: $$H = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {\frac{{\gamma _i }}{2}A_{ii}^2 + } \sum\limits_{i,j = 1}^n {m_{ij} } A_{ij} $$ Two integrable cases are discovered: one for the u(n) case and the other for the gl(n) case. The correspondingL-operators (2 × 2 andn ×n) are found which give the Lax representation for these systems. The integrable model on the gl(n) algebra looks like the Toda lattice because in this case,m _ij=c _iδ_ij-1. The corresponding 2 × 2L-operator satisfies the Sklyanin algebra.     

Some Evolution Hierarchies Derived from Self-dual Yang-Mills Equations

We develop in this paper a new method to construct two explicit Lie algebras E and F. By using a loop algebra \bar{E} of the Lie algebra E and the reduced self-dual Yang-Mills equations, we obtain an expanding integrable model of the Giachetti-Johnson (GJ) hierarchy whose Hamiltonian structure can
also be derived by using the trace identity. This provides a much simplier construction method in comparing with the tedious variational identity approach. Furthermore, the nonlinear integrable coupling of the GJ hierarchy is readily obtained by introducing the Lie algebra g_N. As an application, we apply the loop algebra \tilde{E} of the Lie algebra E to obtain a kind of expanding integrable model of the Kaup-Newell (KN) hierarchy which, consisting of two arbitrary parametersα andβ, can be reduced to two nonlinear evolution equations. In addition, we use a loop algebra \tilde{F} of the Lie algebra F to obtain an
expanding integrable model of the BT hierarchy whose Hamiltonian structure is the same as using the trace identity. Finally, we deduce five integrable systems in R³ based on the self-dual Yang-Mills equations, which include Poisson structures, irregular lines, and the reduced equations.     

Higher Toda Mechanics and Spectral Curves

For each of the Lie algebras gln and g~ln we construct a family of integrable generalizations of the Toda chains characterized by two integers m and m_. The Lax matrices and the equations of motion are given explicitly, and the integrals of motion can be calculated in terms of the trace of powers of the Lax matrix L. For the case of m =m_,we find a symmetric reduction for each generalized Toda chain we found, and the solution to the initial value problems of the reduced systems is outlined. We also studied the spectral curves of the periodic (m ,m_)-Toda chains, which turns out to be very different for different pairs of m and m_. Finally we also obtain the nonabelian generalizations of the (m ,m_)-Toda chains in an explicit form.     

An integrable Hamiltonian hierarchy, a high-dimensional loop algebra and associated integrable coupling system

A subalgebra of loop algebra ?_2 is established. Therefore, a new isospectral problem is designed. By making use of Tu's scheme, a new integrable system is obtained, which possesses bi-Hamiltonian structure. As its reductions, a formalism similar to the well-known Ablowitz－Kaup－Newell－Segur (AKNS) hierarchy and a generalized standard form of the Schr?dinger equation are presented. In addition, in order for a kind of expanding integrable system to be obtained, a proper algebraic transformation is supplied to change loop algebra ?_2 into loop algebra ?_1. Furthermore, a high-dimensional loop algebra is constructed, which is different from any previous one. An integrable coupling of the system obtained is given. Finally, the Hamiltonian form of a binary symmetric constrained flow of the system obtained is presented.     

A subalgebra of loop algebra A2^～ and its applications

A subalgebra of loop algebra A2^～ and its expanding loop algebra G^- are constructed. It follows that both resulting integrable Hamiltonian hierarchies are obtained. As a reduction case of the first hierarchy, a generalized nonlinear coupled Schroedinger equation, the standard heat-conduction and a formalism of the well known Ablowitz, Kaup, Newell and Segur hierarchy are given, respectively. As a reduction case of the second hierarchy, the nonlinear Schroedinger and modified Korteweg de Vries hierarchy and a new integrable system are presented. Especially, a coupled generalized Burgers equation is generated.     

Multi-component C-KdV Hierarchy of Soliton Equations and Its Multi-component Integrable Coupling System

A new simple loop algebra G^-M is constructed, which is devoted to establishing an isospectral problem. By making use of Tu scheme, the multi-component C-KdV hierarchy is obtained. Further, an expanding loop algebra F^-M of the loop algebra G^-M is presented. Based on F^-M , the multi-component integrable coupling system of the multi-component C-KdV hierarchy is worked out. The method can be used to other nonlinear evolution equations hierarchy.

Integrable Couplings of the Generalized AKNS Hierarchy with an Arbitrary Function and Its Bi-Hamiltonian Structure

We construct a new loop algebra \(\widetilde{A_{3}}\), which is used to set up an isospectral problem. Then a new integrable couplings of the generalized AKNS hierarchy is derived, which possesses bi-Hamiltonian structure and contains an arbitrary spatial function. As its reduction, we gain the integrable couplings of the Schrödinger equation. Furthermore, many conserved quantities of the integrable couplings are obtained.     

New experimental limits on violations of the Pauli exclusion principle obtained with the Borexino Counting Test Facility

The Pauli exclusion principle (PEP) has been tested for nucleons (n,p) in and nuclei, using the results of background measurements with the prototype of the Borexino detector, the Counting Test Facility (CTF). The approach consisted of a search for , n, p and/or s emitted in a non-Paulian transition of 1P- shell nucleons to the filled 1S _1/2 shell in nuclei. Similarly, the Pauli-forbidden decay processes were searched for. Due to the extremely low background and the large mass (4.2 tons) of the CTF detector, the following most stringent up-to-date experimental bounds on PEP violating transitions of nucleons have been established: , , , , and , all at C.L.Received: 18 June 2004, Published online: 1 October 2004PACS: 11.30.-j, 24.80. + y, 23.20.-g, 27.20. + nG.

On generalized Lax equation of the Lax triple of KP Hierarchy

In terms of the operator Nambu 3-bracket and the Lax pair (L, B_n) of the KP hierarchy, we propose the generalized Lax equation with respect to the Lax triple (L, B_n, B_m). The intriguing results are that we derive the KP equation and another integrable equation in the KP hierarchy from the generalized Lax equation with the different Lax triples (L, B_n, B_m). Furthermore we derive some no integrable evolution equations and present their single soliton solutions.     

A New Lie Algebra and Its Related Liouville Integrable Hierarchies

A new Lie algebra G and its two types of loop algebras \tilde{G₁} and \tilde{G₂} are constructed. Basing on \tilde{G₁} and \tilde{G₂}, two different isospectral problems are designed, furthermore, two Liouville integrable soliton hierarchies are obtained respectively under the framework of zero curvature equation, which is derived from the compatibility of the isospectral problems expressed by Hirota operators. At the same time, we obtain the Hamiltonian structure of the first hierarchy and the bi-Hamiltonian structure of the second one with the help of the quadratic-form identity.
