The design of conservative finite element discretisations for the vectorial modified KdV equation

We design a consistent Galerkin scheme for the approximation of the vectorial modified Korteweg-de Vries equation. We demonstrate that the scheme conserves energy up to machine precision. In this sense the method is consistent with the energy balance of the continuous system. This energy balance ensures there is no numerical dissipation allowing for extremely accurate long time simulations free from numerical artifacts. Various numerical experiments are shown demonstrating the asymptotic convergence of the method with respect to the discretisation parameters. Some simulations are also presented that correctly capture the unusual interactions between solitons in the vectorial setting

Drinfel'd-Sokolov construction and exact solutions of vector modified KdV hierarchy

We construct the hierarchy of a multi-component generalisation of modified KdV equation and find exact solutions to its associated members. The construction of the hierarchy and its conservation laws is based on the Drinfel'd-Sokolov scheme, however, in our case the Lax operator contains a constant non-regular element of the underlying Lie algebra. We also derive the associated recursion operator of the hierarchy using the symmetry structure of the Lax operators. Finally, using the rational dressing method we obtain the one-soliton solution and we find the one-breather solution of general rank in terms of determinants

A Lie symmetry analysis and explicit solutions of the two‐dimensional∞‐Polylaplacian

In this work we use Lie group theoretic methods and the theory of prolonged group actions to study two fully nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). First we consider a third order PDE in two spatial dimensions that arises as the analogue of the Euler-Lagrange equations from a second order variational principle in $L^{\infty}$. The equation, known as the $\infty$-Polylaplacian, is a higher order generalisation of the $\infty$-Laplacian, also known as Aronsson's equation. In studying this problem we consider a reduced equation whose relation to the $\infty$-Polylaplacian can be considered analogous to the relationship of the Eikonal to Aronsson's equation. Solutions of the reduced equation are also solutions of the $\infty$-Polylaplacian. For the first time we study the Lie symmetries admitted by these two problems and use them to characterise and construct invariant solutions under the action of one dimensional symmetry subgroups

The design of conservative finite element discretisations for the vectorial modified KdV equation

We design a consistent Galerkin scheme for the approximation of the vectorial modified Korteweg–de Vries equation with periodic boundary conditions. We demonstrate that the scheme conserves energy up to solver tolerance. In this sense the method is consistent with the energy balance of the continuous system. This energy balance ensures there is no numerical dissipation allowing for extremely accurate long time simulations free from numerical artifacts. Various numerical experiments are shown demonstrating the asymptotic convergence of the method with respect to the discretisation parameters. Some simulations are also presented that correctly capture the unusual interactions between solitons in the vectorial setting

Integrable extensions of the Adler map via Grassmann algebras

We study certain extensions of the Adler map on Grassmann algebras Γ(n) of order n. We consider a known Grassmann-extended Adler map and under the assumption that n =1, obtain a commutative extension of the Adler map in six dimensions. We show that the map satisfies the Yang–Baxter equation, admits three invariants, and is Liouville integrable. We solve the map explicitly by regarding it as a discrete dynamical system

High order three part split symplectic integrators: Efficient techniques for the long time simulation of the disordered discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation

While symplectic integration methods based on operator splitting are well established in many branches of science, high order methods for Hamiltonian systems that split in more than two parts have not been studied in great detail. Here, we present several high order symplectic integrators for Hamiltonian systems that can be split in exactly three integrable parts. We apply these techniques, as a practical case, for the integration of the disordered, discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation (DDNLS) and compare their efficiencies. Three part split algorithms provide effective means to numerically study the asymptotic behavior of wave packet spreading in the DDNLS – a hotly debated subject in current scientific literature

Darboux transformation with dihedral reduction group

We construct the Darboux transformation with Dihedral reduction group for the 2-dimensional generalisation of the periodic Volterra lattice. The resulting Bäcklund transformation can be viewed as a nonevolutionary integrable differential difference equation. We also find its generalised symmetry and the Lax representation for this symmetry. Using formal diagonalisation of the Darboux matrix, we obtain local conservation laws of the system
