Detection and construction of an elliptic solution to the complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation
In evolution equations for a complex amplitude, the phase obeys a much more
intricate equation than the amplitude. Nevertheless, general methods should be
applicable to both variables. On the example of the traveling wave reduction of
the complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGL5), we explain how to
overcome the difficulties arising in two such methods: (i) the criterium that
the sum of residues of an elliptic solution should be zero, (ii) the
construction of a first order differential equation admitting the given
equation as a differential consequence (subequation method).Comment: 12 pages, no figure, to appear, Theoretical and Mathematical Physic
Completeness of the cubic and quartic H\'enon-Heiles Hamiltonians
The quartic H\'enon-Heiles Hamiltonian passes the Painlev\'e test for
only four sets of values of the constants. Only one of these, identical to the
traveling wave reduction of the Manakov system, has been explicitly integrated
(Wojciechowski, 1985), while the three others are not yet integrated in the
generic case . We integrate them by building
a birational transformation to two fourth order first degree equations in the
classification (Cosgrove, 2000) of such polynomial equations which possess the
Painlev\'e property. This transformation involves the stationary reduction of
various partial differential equations (PDEs). The result is the same as for
the three cubic H\'enon-Heiles Hamiltonians, namely, in all four quartic cases,
a general solution which is meromorphic and hyperelliptic with genus two. As a
consequence, no additional autonomous term can be added to either the cubic or
the quartic Hamiltonians without destroying the Painlev\'e integrability
(completeness property).Comment: 10 pages, To appear, Theor.Math.Phys. Gallipoli, 34 June--3 July 200
Disordered Regimes of the one-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation
I review recent work on the ``phase diagram'' of the one-dimensional complex
Ginzburg-Landau equation for system sizes at which chaos is extensive.
Particular attention is paid to a detailed description of the spatiotemporally
disordered regimes encountered. The nature of the transition lines separating
these phases is discussed, and preliminary results are presented which aim at
evaluating the phase diagram in the infinite-size, infinite-time, thermodynamic
limit.Comment: 14 pages, LaTeX, 9 figures available by anonymous ftp to

Solitary waves of nonlinear nonintegrable equations
Our goal is to find closed form analytic expressions for the solitary waves
of nonlinear nonintegrable partial differential equations. The suitable
methods, which can only be nonperturbative, are classified in two classes.
In the first class, which includes the well known so-called truncation
methods, one \textit{a priori} assumes a given class of expressions
(polynomials, etc) for the unknown solution; the involved work can easily be
done by hand but all solutions outside the given class are surely missed.
In the second class, instead of searching an expression for the solution, one
builds an intermediate, equivalent information, namely the \textit{first order}
autonomous ODE satisfied by the solitary wave; in principle, no solution can be
missed, but the involved work requires computer algebra.
We present the application to the cubic and quintic complex one-dimensional
Ginzburg-Landau equations, and to the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation.Comment: 28 pages, chapter in book "Dissipative solitons", ed. Akhmediev, to

Identification and Kinematic Calculation of Laser Tracker Errors
AbstractCalibration of Laser Tracker systems is based most times in the determination of its geometrical errors. Some standards as the ASME B89.4.19 (2006) and the VDI 2617-10 (2011) describe different tests to calculate the geometric misalignments that cause systematic errors in Laser Tracker measurements. These errors are caused not only because of geometrical misalignments and other sources of error must also be taken in count. In this work we want to express the errors in a kinematic form. Errors will be split in two different components, geometric and kinematic errors. The first ones depend on the offsets, tilts and eccentricity of the mechanical and optical components of the system. Kinematic errors are different for every position of the Laser tracker, so they must be formulated as functions of three system variables: range (R), vertical angle (V) and horizontal angle (H). The goal of this work is to set up an evaluation procedure to determine geometric and kinematic errors of Laser Trackers
Generalized Lenard Chains, Separation of Variables and Superintegrability
We show that the notion of generalized Lenard chains naturally allows
formulation of the theory of multi-separable and superintegrable systems in the
context of bi-Hamiltonian geometry. We prove that the existence of generalized
Lenard chains generated by a Hamiltonian function defined on a four-dimensional
\omega N manifold guarantees the separation of variables. As an application, we
construct such chains for the H\'enon-Heiles systems and for the classical
Smorodinsky-Winternitz systems. New bi-Hamiltonian structures for the Kepler
potential are found.Comment: 14 pages Revte
Construction of Special Solutions for Nonintegrable Systems
The Painleve test is very useful to construct not only the Laurent series
solutions of systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations but also the
elliptic and trigonometric ones. The standard methods for constructing the
elliptic solutions consist of two independent steps: transformation of a
nonlinear polynomial differential equation into a nonlinear algebraic system
and a search for solutions of the obtained system. It has been demonstrated by
the example of the generalized Henon-Heiles system that the use of the Laurent
series solutions of the initial differential equation assists to solve the
obtained algebraic system. This procedure has been automatized and generalized
on some type of multivalued solutions. To find solutions of the initial
differential equation in the form of the Laurent or Puiseux series we use the
Painleve test. This test can also assist to solve the inverse problem: to find
the form of a polynomial potential, which corresponds to the required type of
solutions. We consider the five-dimensional gravitational model with a scalar
field to demonstrate this.Comment: LaTeX, 14 pages, the paper has been published in the Journal of

A reduction of the resonant three-wave interaction to the generic sixth Painleve' equation
Among the reductions of the resonant three-wave interaction system to
six-dimensional differential systems, one of them has been specifically
mentioned as being linked to the generic sixth Painleve' equation P6. We derive
this link explicitly, and we establish the connection to a three-degree of
freedom Hamiltonian previously considered for P6.Comment: 13 pages, 0 figure, J. Phys. A Special issue "One hundred years of

Singularity confinement and algebraic integrability
Two important notions of integrability for discrete mappings are algebraic
integrability and singularity confinement, have been used for discrete
mappings. Algebraic integrability is related to the existence of sufficiently
many conserved quantities whereas singularity confinement is associated with
the local analysis of singularities. In this paper, the relationship between
these two notions is explored for birational autonomous mappings. Two types of
results are obtained: first, algebraically integrable mappings are shown to
have the singularity confinement property. Second, a proof of the non-existence
of algebraic conserved quantities of discrete systems based on the lack of
confinement property is given.Comment: 18 pages, no figur
