Dunajski generalization of the second heavenly equation: dressing method and the hierarchy

Dunajski generalization of the second heavenly equation is studied. A dressing scheme applicable to Dunajski equation is developed, an example of constructing solutions in terms of implicit functions is considered. Dunajski equation hierarchy is described, its Lax-Sato form is presented. Dunajsky equation hierarchy is characterized by conservation of three-dimensional volume form, in which a spectral variable is taken into account.Comment: 13 page

Investigation of dynamical systems using tools of the theory of invariants and projective geometry

The investigation of nonlinear dynamical systems of the type $\dot{x}=P(x,y,z),\dot{y}=Q(x,y,z),\dot{z}=R(x,y,z)$ by means of reduction to some ordinary differential equations of the second order in the form $y''+a_1(x,y)y'^3+3a_2(x,y)y'^2+3a_3(x,y)y'+a_4(x,y)=0$ is done. The main backbone of this investigation was provided by the theory of invariants developed by S. Lie, R. Liouville and A. Tresse at the end of the 19th century and the projective geometry of E. Cartan. In our work two, in some sense supplementary, systems are considered: the Lorenz system $\dot{x}=\sigma (y-x), \dot{y}=rx-y-zx,\dot{z}=xy-bz$ and the R\"o\ss ler system $\dot{x}=-y-z,\dot{y}=x+ay,\dot{z}=b+xz-cz.$. The invarinats for the ordinary differential equations, which correspond to the systems mentioned abouve, are evaluated. The connection of values of the invariants with characteristics of dynamical systems is established.Comment: 18 pages, Latex, to appear in J. of Applied Mathematics (ZAMP

Heat operator with pure soliton potential: properties of Jost and dual Jost solutions

Properties of Jost and dual Jost solutions of the heat equation, $\Phi(x,k)$ and $\Psi(x,k)$, in the case of a pure solitonic potential are studied in detail. We describe their analytical properties on the spectral parameter $k$ and their asymptotic behavior on the $x$-plane and we show that the values of $e^{-qx}\Phi(x,k)$ and the residua of $e^{qx}\Psi(x,k)$ at special discrete values of $k$ are bounded functions of $x$ in a polygonal region of the $q$-plane. Correspondingly, we deduce that the extended version $L(q)$ of the heat operator with a pure solitonic potential has left and right annihilators for $q$ belonging to these polygonal regions.Comment: 26 pages, 3 figure

Lattice and q-difference Darboux-Zakharov-Manakov systems via ∂ˉ\bar{\partial}-dressing method

A general scheme is proposed for introduction of lattice and q-difference variables to integrable hierarchies in frame of $\bar{\partial}$-dressing method . Using this scheme, lattice and q-difference Darboux-Zakharov-Manakov systems of equations are derived. Darboux, B\"acklund and Combescure transformations and exact solutions for these systems are studied.Comment: 8 pages, LaTeX, to be published in J Phys A, Letters

On the central quadric ansatz: integrable models and Painleve reductions

It was observed by Tod and later by Dunajski and Tod that the Boyer-Finley (BF) and the dispersionless Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (dKP) equations possess solutions whose level surfaces are central quadrics in the space of independent variables (the so-called central quadric ansatz). It was demonstrated that generic solutions of this type are described by Painleve equations PIII and PII, respectively. The aim of our paper is threefold: -- Based on the method of hydrodynamic reductions, we classify integrable models possessing the central quadric ansatz. This leads to the five canonical forms (including BF and dKP). -- Applying the central quadric ansatz to each of the five canonical forms, we obtain all Painleve equations PI - PVI, with PVI corresponding to the generic case of our classification. -- We argue that solutions coming from the central quadric ansatz constitute a subclass of two-phase solutions provided by the method of hydrodynamic reductions.Comment: 12 page

On a class of reductions of Manakov-Santini hierarchy connected with the interpolating system

Using Lax-Sato formulation of Manakov-Santini hierarchy, we introduce a class of reductions, such that zero order reduction of this class corresponds to dKP hierarchy, and the first order reduction gives the hierarchy associated with the interpolating system introduced by Dunajski. We present Lax-Sato form of reduced hierarchy for the interpolating system and also for the reduction of arbitrary order. Similar to dKP hierarchy, Lax-Sato equations for $L$ (Lax fuction) due to the reduction split from Lax-Sato equations for $M$ (Orlov function), and the reduced hierarchy for arbitrary order of reduction is defined by Lax-Sato equations for $L$ only. Characterization of the class of reductions in terms of the dressing data is given. We also consider a waterbag reduction of the interpolating system hierarchy, which defines (1+1)-dimensional systems of hydrodynamic type.Comment: 15 pages, revised and extended, characterization of the class of reductions in terms of the dressing data is give

Solutions of the Kpi Equation with Smooth Initial Data

The solution $u(t,x,y)$ of the Kadomtsev--Petviashvili I (KPI) equation with given initial data $u(0,x,y)$ belonging to the Schwartz space is considered. No additional special constraints, usually considered in literature, as $\int\!dx\,u(0,x,y)=0$ are required to be satisfied by the initial data. The problem is completely solved in the framework of the spectral transform theory and it is shown that $u(t,x,y)$ satisfies a special evolution version of the KPI equation and that, in general, $\partial_t u(t,x,y)$ has different left and right limits at the initial time $t=0$. The conditions of the type $\int\!dx\,u(t,x,y)=0$, $\int\!dx\,xu_y(t,x,y)=0$ and so on (first, second, etc. `constraints') are dynamically generated by the evolution equation for $t\not=0$. On the other side $\int\!dx\!\!\int\!dy\,u(t,x,y)$ with prescribed order of integrations is not necessarily equal to zero and gives a nontrivial integral of motion.Comment: 17 pages, 23 June 1993, LaTex fil
