Complete integrability of derivative nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger-type equations

We study matrix generalizations of derivative nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger-type equations, which were shown by Olver and Sokolov to possess a higher symmetry. We prove that two of them are `C-integrable' and the rest of them are `S-integrable' in Calogero's terminology.Comment: 14 pages, LaTeX2e (IOP style), to appear in Inverse Problem

Multicomponent bi-superHamiltonian KdV systems

It is shown that a new class of classical multicomponent super KdV equations is bi-superHamiltonian by extending the method for the verification of graded Jacobi identity. The multicomponent extension of super mKdV equations is obtained by using the super Miura transformation

Integrable boundary conditions for the Toda lattice

The problem of construction of the boundary conditions for the Toda lattice compatible with its higher symmetries is considered. It is demonstrated that this problem is reduced to finding of the differential constraints consistent with the ZS-AKNS hierarchy. A method of their construction is offered based on the B\"acklund transformations. It is shown that the generalized Toda lattices corresponding to the non-exceptional Lie algebras of finite growth can be obtained by imposing one of the four simplest integrable boundary conditions on the both ends of the lattice. This fact allows, in particular, to solve the problem of reduction of the series $A$ Toda lattices into the series $D$ ones. Deformations of the found boundary conditions are presented which leads to the Painlev\'e type equations. Key words: Toda lattice, boundary conditions, integrability, B\"acklund transformation, Lie algebras, Painlev\'e equation

A Class of Coupled KdV systems and Their Bi-Hamiltonian Formulations

A Hamiltonian pair with arbitrary constants is proposed and thus a sort of hereditary operators is resulted. All the corresponding systems of evolution equations possess local bi-Hamiltonian formulation and a special choice of the systems leads to the KdV hierarchy. Illustrative examples are given.Comment: 8 pages, late

Scalar second order evolution equations possessing an irreducible sl2_2-valued zero curvature representation

We find all scalar second order evolution equations possessing an sl$_2$-valued zero curvature representation that is not reducible to a proper subalgebra of sl$_2$. None of these zero-curvature representations admits a parameter.Comment: 10 pages, requires nath.st

Towards the theory of integrable hyperbolic equations of third order

The examples are considered of integrable hyperbolic equations of third order with two independent variables. In particular, an equation is found which admits as evolutionary symmetries the Krichever--Novikov equation and the modified Landau--Lifshitz system. The problem of choice of dynamical variables for the hyperbolic equations is discussed.Comment: 22

Lie point symmetries of differential--difference equations

We present an algorithm for determining the Lie point symmetries of differential equations on fixed non transforming lattices, i.e. equations involving both continuous and discrete independent variables. The symmetries of a specific integrable discretization of the Krichever-Novikov equation, the Toda lattice and Toda field theory are presented as examples of the general method.Comment: 17 pages, 1 figur

Symmetrically coupled higher-order nonlinear Schroedinger equations: singularity analysis and integrability

The integrability of a system of two symmetrically coupled higher-order nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations with parameter coefficients is tested by means of the singularity analysis. It is proven that the system passes the Painlev\'{e} test for integrability only in ten distinct cases, of which two are new. For one of the new cases, a Lax pair and a multi-field generalization are obtained; for the other one, the equations of the system are uncoupled by a nonlinear transformation.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX2e, IOP style, final version, to appear in J.Phys.A:Math.Ge

The Coupled Modified Korteweg-de Vries Equations

Generalization of the modified KdV equation to a multi-component system, that is expressed by $(\partial u_i)/(\partial t) + 6 (\sum_{j,k=0}^{M-1} C_{jk} u_j u_k) (\partial u_i)/(\partial x) + (\partial^3 u_{i})/(\partial x^3) = 0, i=0, 1, ..., M-1$, is studied. We apply a new extended version of the inverse scattering method to this system. It is shown that this system has an infinite number of conservation laws and multi-soliton solutions. Further, the initial value problem of the model is solved.Comment: 26 pages, LaTex209 file, uses jpsj.st

On a two-parameter extension of the lattice KdV system associated with an elliptic curve

A general structure is developed from which a system of integrable partial difference equations is derived generalising the lattice KdV equation. The construction is based on an infinite matrix scheme with as key ingredient a (formal) elliptic Cauchy kernel. The consistency and integrability of the lattice system is discussed as well as special solutions and associated continuum equations.Comment: Submitted to the proceedings of the Oeresund PDE-symposium, 23-25 May 2002; 17 pages LaTeX, style-file include
