Two-dimensional soliton cellular automaton of deautonomized Toda-type
A deautonomized version of the two-dimensional Toda lattice equation is
presented. Its ultra-discrete analogue and soliton solutions are also
discussed.Comment: 11 pages, LaTeX fil
A new two-dimensional lattice model that is "consistent around a cube"
For two-dimensional lattice equations one definition of integrability is that
the model can be naturally and consistently extended to three dimensions, i.e.,
that it is "consistent around a cube" (CAC). As a consequence of CAC one can
construct a Lax pair for the model. Recently Adler, Bobenko and Suris conducted
a search based on this principle and certain additional assumptions. One of
those assumptions was the "tetrahedron property", which is satisfied by most
known equations. We present here one lattice equation that satisfies the
consistency condition but does not have the tetrahedron property. Its Lax pair
is also presented and some basic properties discussed.Comment: 8 pages in LaTe
A Bilinear Approach to Discrete Miura Transformations
We present a systematic approach to the construction of Miura transformations
for discrete Painlev\'e equations. Our method is based on the bilinear
formalism and we start with the expression of the nonlinear discrete equation
in terms of -functions. Elimination of -functions from the
resulting system leads to another nonlinear equation, which is a ``modified''
version of the original equation. The procedure therefore yields Miura
transformations. In this letter, we illustrate this approach by reproducing
previously known Miura transformations and constructing new ones.Comment: 7 pages in TeX, to appear in Phys. Letts.
Bilinear Discrete Painleve-II and its Particular Solutions
By analogy to the continuous Painlev\'e II equation, we present particular
solutions of the discrete Painlev\'e II (d-P) equation. These
solutions are of rational and special function (Airy) type. Our analysis is
based on the bilinear formalism that allows us to obtain the function
for d-P. Two different forms of bilinear d-P are obtained
and we show that they can be related by a simple gauge transformation.Comment: 9 pages in plain Te
On Completely Integrability Systems of Differential Equations
In this note we discuss the approach which was given by Wazwaz for the proof
of the complete integrability to the system of nonlinear differential
equations. We show that his method presented in [Wazwaz A.M. Completely
integrable coupled KdV and coupled KP systems, Commun Nonlinear Sci Simulat 15
(2010) 2828-2835] is incorrect.Comment: 14 pages. This paper was sent to the Communications in Nonlinear

A generalization of determinant formulas for the solutions of Painlev\'e II and XXXIV equations
A generalization of determinant formulas for the classical solutions of
Painlev\'e XXXIV and Painlev\'e II equations are constructed using the
technique of Darboux transformation and Hirota's bilinear formalism. It is
shown that the solutions admit determinant formulas even for the transcendental
case.Comment: 20 pages, LaTeX 2.09(IOP style), submitted to J. Phys.
Soliton formation from a pulse passing the zero-dispersion point in a nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation
We consider in detail the self-trapping of a soliton from a wave pulse that
passes from a defocussing region into a focussing one in a spatially
inhomogeneous nonlinear waveguide, described by a nonlinear Schrodinger
equation in which the dispersion coefficient changes its sign from normal to
anomalous. The model has direct applications to dispersion-decreasing nonlinear
optical fibers, and to natural waveguides for internal waves in the ocean. It
is found that, depending on the (conserved) energy and (nonconserved) mass of
the initial pulse, four qualitatively different outcomes of the pulse
transformation are possible: decay into radiation; self-trapping into a single
soliton; formation of a breather; and formation of a pair of counterpropagating
solitons. A corresponding chart is drawn on a parametric plane, which
demonstrates some unexpected features. In particular, it is found that any kind
of soliton(s) (including the breather and counterpropagating pair) eventually
decays into pure radiation with the increase of the energy, the initial mass
being kept constant. It is also noteworthy that a virtually direct transition
from a single soliton into a pair of symmetric counterpropagating ones seems
possible. An explanation for these features is proposed. In two cases when
analytical approximations apply, viz., a simple perturbation theory for broad
initial pulses, or the variational approximation for narrow ones, comparison
with the direct simulations shows reasonable agreement.Comment: 18 pages, 10 figures, 1 table. Phys. Rev. E, in pres
Bicomplexes and Integrable Models
We associate bicomplexes with several integrable models in such a way that
conserved currents are obtained by a simple iterative construction. Gauge
transformations and dressings are discussed in this framework and several
examples are presented, including the nonlinear Schrodinger and sine-Gordon
equations, and some discrete models.Comment: 17 pages, LaTeX, uses amssymb.sty and diagrams.st
Rational solutions of the discrete time Toda lattice and the alternate discrete Painleve II equation
The Yablonskii-Vorob'ev polynomials , which are defined by a second
order bilinear differential-difference equation, provide rational solutions of
the Toda lattice. They are also polynomial tau-functions for the rational
solutions of the second Painlev\'{e} equation (). Here we define
two-variable polynomials on a lattice with spacing , by
considering rational solutions of the discrete time Toda lattice as introduced
by Suris. These polynomials are shown to have many properties that are
analogous to those of the Yablonskii-Vorob'ev polynomials, to which they reduce
when . They also provide rational solutions for a particular
discretisation of , namely the so called {\it alternate discrete}
, and this connection leads to an expression in terms of the Umemura
polynomials for the third Painlev\'{e} equation (). It is shown that
B\"{a}cklund transformation for the alternate discrete Painlev\'{e} equation is
a symplectic map, and the shift in time is also symplectic. Finally we present
a Lax pair for the alternate discrete , which recovers Jimbo and Miwa's
Lax pair for in the continuum limit .Comment: 23 pages, IOP style. Title changed, and connection with Umemura
