    On Darboux transformations for the derivative nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation

    Full text link
    We consider Darboux transformations for the derivative nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. A new theorem for Darboux transformations of operators with no derivative term are presented and proved. The solution is expressed in quasideterminant forms. Additionally, the parabolic and soliton solutions of the derivative nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation are given as explicit examples.Comment: 14 page

    On solutions to the non-Abelian Hirota-Miwa equation and its continuum limits

    Full text link
    In this paper, we construct grammian-like quasideterminant solutions of a non-Abelian Hirota-Miwa equation. Through continuum limits of this non-Abelian Hirota-Miwa equation and its quasideterminant solutions, we construct a cascade of noncommutative differential-difference equations ending with the noncommutative KP equation. For each of these systems the quasideterminant solutions are constructed as well.Comment: 9 pages, 1 figur

    Quasideterminant solutions of a non-Abelian Hirota-Miwa equation

    Full text link
    A non-Abelian version of the Hirota-Miwa equation is considered. In an earlier paper [Nimmo (2006) J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. \textbf{39}, 5053-5065] it was shown how solutions expressed as quasideterminants could be constructed for this system by means of Darboux transformations. In this paper we discuss these solutions from a different perspective and show that the solutions are quasi-Pl\"{u}cker coordinates and that the non-Abelian Hirota-Miwa equation may be written as a quasi-Pl\"{u}cker relation. The special case of the matrix Hirota-Miwa equation is also considered using a more traditional, bilinear approach and the techniques are compared

    Darboux dressing and undressing for the ultradiscrete KdV equation

    We solve the direct scattering problem for the ultradiscrete Korteweg de Vries (udKdV) equation, over R\mathbb R for any potential with compact (finite) support, by explicitly constructing bound state and non-bound state eigenfunctions. We then show how to reconstruct the potential in the scattering problem at any time, using an ultradiscrete analogue of a Darboux transformation. This is achieved by obtaining data uniquely characterising the soliton content and the `background' from the initial potential by Darboux transformation.Comment: 41 pages, 5 figures // Full, unabridged version, including two appendice

    Darboux and binary Darboux transformations for discrete integrable systems 1. Discrete potential KdV equation

    Full text link
    The Hirota-Miwa equation can be written in `nonlinear' form in two ways: the discrete KP equation and, by using a compatible continuous variable, the discrete potential KP equation. For both systems, we consider the Darboux and binary Darboux transformations, expressed in terms of the continuous variable, and obtain exact solutions in Wronskian and Grammian form. We discuss reductions of both systems to the discrete KdV and discrete potential KdV equations, respectively, and exploit this connection to find the Darboux and binary Darboux transformations and exact solutions of these equations
