On Darboux transformation of the supersymmetric sine-Gordon equation

Darboux transformation is constructed for superfields of the super sine-Gordon equation and the superfields of the associated linear problem. The Darboux transformation is shown to be related to the super B\"{a}cklund transformation and is further used to obtain $N$ super soliton solutions.Comment: 9 Page

Non-polynomial extensions of solvable potentials a la Abraham-Moses

Abraham-Moses transformations, besides Darboux transformations, are well-known procedures to generate extensions of solvable potentials in one-dimensional quantum mechanics. Here we present the explicit forms of infinitely many seed solutions for adding eigenstates at arbitrary real energy through the Abraham-Moses transformations for typical solvable potentials, e.g. the radial oscillator, the Darboux-P\"oschl-Teller and some others. These seed solutions are simple generalisations of the virtual state wavefunctions, which are obtained from the eigenfunctions by discrete symmetries of the potentials. The virtual state wavefunctions have been an essential ingredient for constructing multi-indexed Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials through multiple Darboux-Crum transformations. In contrast to the Darboux transformations, the virtual state wavefunctions generate non-polynomial extensions of solvable potentials through the Abraham-Moses transformations.Comment: 29 page

On the algebraic invariant curves of plane polynomial differential systems

We consider a plane polynomial vector field $P(x,y)dx+Q(x,y)dy$ of degree $m>1$. To each algebraic invariant curve of such a field we associate a compact Riemann surface with the meromorphic differential $\omega=dx/P=dy/Q$. The asymptotic estimate of the degree of an arbitrary algebraic invariant curve is found. In the smooth case this estimate was already found by D. Cerveau and A. Lins Neto [Ann. Inst. Fourier Grenoble 41, 883-903] in a different way.Comment: 10 pages, Latex, to appear in J.Phys.A:Math.Ge

Darboux theory of integrability for a class of nonautonomous vector fields

The goal of this paper is to extend the classical Darboux theory of integrability from autonomous polynomial vector fields to a class of nonautonomous vector fields. We also provide sufficient conditions for applying this theory of integrability and we illustrate this theory in several examples.Postprint (published version

Darboux parameter for empty FRW quantum universes and quantum cosmological singularities

I present the factorization(s) of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for vacuum FRW minisuperspace universes of arbitrary Hartle-Hawking factor ordering, including the so-called strictly isospectral supersymmetric method. By the latter means, one can introduce an infinite class of singular FRW minisuperspace wavefunctions characterized by a Darboux parameter that mathematically speaking is a Riccati integration constant, while physically determines the position of these strictly isospectral singularities on the Misner time axisComment: 3 pages, LaTe

A limitation of the hydrostatic reconstruction technique for Shallow Water equations

Because of their capability to preserve steady-states, well-balanced schemes for Shallow Water equations are becoming popular. Among them, the hydrostatic reconstruction proposed in Audusse et al. (2004), coupled with a positive numerical flux, allows to verify important mathematical and physical properties like the positivity of the water height and, thus, to avoid unstabilities when dealing with dry zones. In this note, we prove that this method exhibits an abnormal behavior for some combinations of slope, mesh size and water height.Comment: 7 page

Darboux Transformation of the Green Function for the Dirac Equation with the Generalized Potential

We consider the Darboux transformation of the Green functions of the regular boundary problem of the one-dimensional stationary Dirac equation. We obtained the Green functions of the transformed Dirac equation with the initial regular boundary conditions. We also construct the formula for the unabridged trace of the difference of the transformed and the initial Green functions of the regular boundary problem of the one-dimensional stationary Dirac equation. We illustrate our findings by the consideration of the Darboux transformation for the Green function of the free particle Dirac equation on an interval.Comment: 14 pages,zip. file: Latex, 1 figure.

Darboux Transformation for Dirac Equations with (1+1) potentials

We study the Darboux transformation (DT) for Dirac equations with (1+1) potentials. Exact solutions for the adiabatic external field are constructed. The connection between the exactly soluble Dirac (1+1) potentials and the soliton solutions of the Davey--Stewartson equations is discussed.Comment: AMS-Te
