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.     

A Family of Integrable Rational Semi-Discrete Systems and Its Reduction

Within framework of zero curvature representation theory, a family of integrable rational semi-discrete systems is derived from a matrix spectral problem. The Hamiltonian forms of obtained semi-discrete systems are constructed by means of the discrete trace identity. The Liouville integrability for the obtained family is demonstrated. In the end, a reduced family of obtained semi-discrete systems and its Hamiltonian form are worked out.     

Painleve Analysis and Darboux Transformation for a Variable-Coefficient Boussinesq System in Fluid Dynamics with Symbolic Computation

The new soliton solutions for the variable-coefficient Boussinesq system, whose applications are seen in fluid dynamics, are studied in this paper with symbolic computation. First, the Painleve analysis is used to investigate its integrability properties. For the identified case we give, the Lax pair of the system is found, and then the Darboux transformation is constructed. At last, some new soliton solutions are presented via the Darboux method. Those solutions might be of some value in fluid dynamics.     

Painleve Integrability of Nonlinear SchrSdinger Equations with both Space- and Time-Dependent Coefficients

We investigate the Painleve integrabiiity of nonautonomous nonlinear Schr6dinger （NLS） equations with both space-and time-dependent dispersion, nonlinearity, and external potentials. The Painleve analysis is carried out without using the Kruskal＇s simplification, which results in more generalized form of inhomogeneous equations. The obtained equations are shown to be reducible to the standard NLS equation by using a point transformation. We also construct the corresponding Lax pair and carry out its Kundu-type reduction to the standard Lax pair. Special cases of equations from choosing limited form of coefficients coincide with the equations from the previous Painleve analyses and/or become unknown new equations.     

Higher-Dimensional Lie Algebra and New Integrable Coupling of Discrete KdV Equation

Based on semi-direct sums of Lie subalgebra \tilde{G}, a higher-dimensional 6 x 6 matrix Lie algebra sμ(6) is constructed. A hierarchy of integrable coupling KdV equation with three potentials is proposed, which is derivedfrom a new discrete six-by-six matrix spectral problem. Moreover, the Hamiltonian forms is deduced for lattice equation in the resulting hierarchy by means of the discrete variational identity --- a generalized trace identity. A strong symmetry operator of the resulting hierarchy is given. Finally, we provethat the hierarchy of the resulting Hamiltonian equations is Liouville integrable discrete Hamiltonian systems.

A Unified and Explicit Construction of N-Soliton Solutions for the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

An explicit N-fold Darboux transformation with multiparameters for nonlinear Schrödinger equation is constructed with the help of its Lax pairs and a reduction technique. According to this Darboux transformation, the solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation are reduced to solving a linear algebraic system, from which a unified and explicit formulation of N-soliton solutions with multiparameters for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation is given.     

T-duality in Affine NA Toda Models

The construction of non-Abelian affine Toda models is discussed in terms of its underlying Lie algebraic structure. It is shown that a subclass of such non-conformal two-dimensional integrable models naturally leads to the construction of a pair of actions, which share the same spectra and are related by canonical transformations.     

Branes,Quantum Nambu Brackets and the Hydrogen Atom

The Nambu-bracket quantization of the hydrogen atom is worked out as an illustration of the general method. The dynamics of topological open branes is controlled classically by Nambu brackets. Such branes then may be quantized through the consistent quantization of the underlying Nambu brackets: properly defined, the quantum Nambu-brackets comprise an associative structure, although the naive derivation property is mooted through operator entwinement. For superintegrable systems, such as the hydrogen atom, the results coincide with those furnished by Hamiltonian quantization - but the method is not limited to Hamiltonian systems.     

A hierarchy of lattice soliton equations and its Darboux transformation

A new discrete spectral problem is introduced and the corresponding hierarchy of the lattice soliton equations are derived by means of the trace identity. We find a new Darboux transformation of the lattice soliton equation, through which the explicit solutions are shown.
