A geometric study of the dispersionless Boussinesq type equation
We discuss the dispersionless Boussinesq type equation, which is equivalent
to the Benney-Lax equation, being a system of equations of hydrodynamical type.
This equation was discussed in
. The results include: a
description of local and nonlocal Hamiltonian and symplectic structures,
hierarchies of symmetries, hierarchies of conservation laws, recursion
operators for symmetries and generating functions of conservation laws
(cosymmetries). Highly interesting are the appearances of operators that send
conservation laws and symmetries to each other but are neither Hamiltonian, nor
symplectic. These operators give rise to a noncommutative infinite-dimensional
algebra of recursion operators
Development of a Detector Control System for the ATLAS Pixel Detector
The innermost part of the ATLAS experiment will be a pixel detector
containing around 1750 individual detector modules. A detector control system
(DCS) is required to handle thousands of I/O channels with varying
characteristics. The main building blocks of the pixel DCS are the cooling
system, the power supplies and the thermal interlock system, responsible for
the ultimate safety of the pixel sensors. The ATLAS Embedded Local Monitor
Board (ELMB), a multi purpose front end I/O system with a CAN interface, is
foreseen for several monitoring and control tasks. The Supervisory, Control And
Data Acquisition (SCADA) system will use PVSS, a commercial software product
chosen for the CERN LHC experiments. We report on the status of the different
building blocks of the ATLAS pixel DCS.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures, ICALEPCS 200
Algebraic properties of Gardner's deformations for integrable systems
An algebraic definition of Gardner's deformations for completely integrable
bi-Hamiltonian evolutionary systems is formulated. The proposed approach
extends the class of deformable equations and yields new integrable
evolutionary and hyperbolic Liouville-type systems. An exactly solvable
two-component extension of the Liouville equation is found.Comment: Proc. conf. "Nonlinear Physics: Theory and Experiment IV" (Gallipoli,

A unified approach to computation of integrable structures
We expose (without proofs) a unified computational approach to integrable
structures (including recursion, Hamiltonian, and symplectic operators) based
on geometrical theory of partial differential equations. We adopt a coordinate
based approach and aim to provide a tutorial to the computations.Comment: 19 pages, based on a talk on the SPT 2011 conference,

Gardner's deformations of the N=2 supersymmetric a=4-KdV equation
We prove that P.Mathieu's Open problem on constructing Gardner's deformation
for the N=2 supersymmetric a=4-Korteweg-de Vries equation has no supersymmetry
invariant solutions, whenever it is assumed that they retract to Gardner's
deformation of the scalar KdV equation under the component reduction. At the
same time, we propose a two-step scheme for the recursive production of the
integrals of motion for the N=2, a=4-SKdV. First, we find a new Gardner's
deformation of the Kaup-Boussinesq equation, which is contained in the bosonic
limit of the super-hierarchy. This yields the recurrence relation between the
Hamiltonians of the limit, whence we determine the bosonic super-Hamiltonians
of the full N=2, a=4-SKdV hierarchy. Our method is applicable towards the
solution of Gardner's deformation problems for other supersymmetric KdV-type
systems.Comment: Extended version of the talks given by A.V.K. at 8th International

(Non)local Hamiltonian and symplectic structures, recursions, and hierarchies: a new approach and applications to the N=1 supersymmetric KdV equation
Using methods of math.DG/0304245 and [I.S.Krasil'shchik and P.H.M.Kersten,
Symmetries and recursion operators for classical and supersymmetric
differential equations, Kluwer, 2000], we accomplish an extensive study of the
N=1 supersymmetric Korteweg-de Vries equation. The results include: a
description of local and nonlocal Hamiltonian and symplectic structures, five
hierarchies of symmetries, the corresponding hierarchies of conservation laws,
recursion operators for symmetries and generating functions of conservation
laws. We stress that the main point of the paper is not just the results on
super-KdV equation itself, but merely exposition of the efficiency of the
geometrical approach and of the computational algorithms based on it.Comment: 16 pages, AMS-LaTeX, Xy-pic, dvi-file to be processed by dvips. v2:

A convenient criterion under which Z_2-graded operators are Hamiltonian
We formulate a simple and convenient criterion under which skew-adjoint
Z_2-graded total differential operators are Hamiltonian, provided that their
images are closed under commutation in the Lie algebras of evolutionary vector
fields on the infinite jet spaces for vector bundles over smooth manifolds.Comment: J.Phys.Conf.Ser.: Mathematical and Physical Aspects of Symmetry.
