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.
A tree of linearisable second-order evolution equations by generalised hodograph transformations
We present a list of (1+1)-dimensional second-order evolution equations all
connected via a proposed generalised hodograph transformation, resulting in a
tree of equations transformable to the linear second-order autonomous evolution
equation. The list includes autonomous and nonautonomous equations.Comment: arXiv version is already officia
Infinitesimal symmetries and conservation laws of the DNLSE hierarchy and the Noether's theorem
The hierarchy of the integrable nonlinear equations associated with the
quadratic bundle is considered. The expressions for the solution of the
linearization of these equations and their conservation law in the terms of the
solutions of the corresponding Lax pairs are found. It is shown for the first
member of the hierarchy that the conservation law is connected with the
solution of the linearized equation due to the Noether's theorem. The local
hierarchy and three nonlocal ones of the infinitesimal symmetries and the
conservation laws that are explicitly expressed through the variables of the
nonlinear equations are derived.Comment: 12 pages, LaTe
Spectral theory of some non-selfadjoint linear differential operators
We give a characterisation of the spectral properties of linear differential
operators with constant coefficients, acting on functions defined on a bounded
interval, and determined by general linear boundary conditions. The boundary
conditions may be such that the resulting operator is not selfadjoint.
We associate the spectral properties of such an operator with the
properties of the solution of a corresponding boundary value problem for the
partial differential equation . Namely, we are able to
establish an explicit correspondence between the properties of the family of
eigenfunctions of the operator, and in particular whether this family is a
basis, and the existence and properties of the unique solution of the
associated boundary value problem. When such a unique solution exists, we
consider its representation as a complex contour integral that is obtained
using a transform method recently proposed by Fokas and one of the authors. The
analyticity properties of the integrand in this representation are crucial for
studying the spectral theory of the associated operator.Comment: 1 figur
Complex sine-Gordon-2: a new algorithm for multivortex solutions on the plane
We present a new vorticity-raising transformation for the second integrable
complexification of the sine-Gordon equation on the plane. The new
transformation is a product of four Schlesinger maps of the Painlev\'{e}-V to
itself, and allows a more efficient construction of the -vortex solution
than the previously reported transformation comprising a product of maps.Comment: Part of a talk given at a conference on "Nonlinear Physics. Theory

Gap Probabilities for Edge Intervals in Finite Gaussian and Jacobi Unitary Matrix Ensembles
The probabilities for gaps in the eigenvalue spectrum of the finite dimension
random matrix Hermite and Jacobi unitary ensembles on some
single and disconnected double intervals are found. These are cases where a
reflection symmetry exists and the probability factors into two other related
probabilities, defined on single intervals. Our investigation uses the system
of partial differential equations arising from the Fredholm determinant
expression for the gap probability and the differential-recurrence equations
satisfied by Hermite and Jacobi orthogonal polynomials. In our study we find
second and third order nonlinear ordinary differential equations defining the
probabilities in the general case. For N=1 and N=2 the probabilities and
thus the solution of the equations are given explicitly. An asymptotic
expansion for large gap size is obtained from the equation in the Hermite case,
and also studied is the scaling at the edge of the Hermite spectrum as , and the Jacobi to Hermite limit; these last two studies make
correspondence to other cases reported here or known previously. Moreover, the
differential equation arising in the Hermite ensemble is solved in terms of an
explicit rational function of a {Painlev\'e-V} transcendent and its derivative,
and an analogous solution is provided in the two Jacobi cases but this time
involving a {Painlev\'e-VI} transcendent.Comment: 32 pages, Latex2
Quasi-linear Stokes phenomenon for the Painlev\'e first equation
Using the Riemann-Hilbert approach, the -function corresponding to the
solution of the first Painleve equation, , with the asymptotic
behavior as is constructed. The
exponentially small jump in the dominant solution and the coefficient
asymptotics in the power-like expansion to the latter are found.Comment: version accepted for publicatio
On the classification of conditionally integrable evolution systems in (1+1) dimensions
We generalize earlier results of Fokas and Liu and find all locally analytic
(1+1)-dimensional evolution equations of order that admit an -shock type
solution with .
To this end we develop a refinement of the technique from our earlier work
(A. Sergyeyev, J. Phys. A: Math. Gen, 35 (2002), 7653--7660), where we
completely characterized all (1+1)-dimensional evolution systems
\bi{u}_t=\bi{F}(x,t,\bi{u},\p\bi{u}/\p x,...,\p^n\bi{u}/\p x^n) that are
conditionally invariant under a given generalized (Lie--B\"acklund) vector
field \bi{Q}(x,t,\bi{u},\p\bi{u}/\p x,...,\p^k\bi{u}/\p x^k)\p/\p\bi{u} under
the assumption that the system of ODEs \bi{Q}=0 is totally nondegenerate.
Every such conditionally invariant evolution system admits a reduction to a
system of ODEs in , thus being a nonlinear counterpart to quasi-exactly
solvable models in quantum mechanics.
