Memories of Hirota's method: application to the reduced Maxwell-Bloch system in the early 1970s.

چکیده
Who remembers 'Hirota's method'? In the early days of solitons, although the Korteweg-de Vries equation had been solved by the 'inverse scattering method' most solutions to integrable non-linear equations were found by simpler more direct methods. Outstanding among these was a method due mainly to Hirota, which involved casting the equation into a 'bilinear form' and then applying intelligent guesswork. In this paper, I shall take a journey down memory lane, looking again at this method.

متن کاملSelf-similar solutions of certain coupled integrable systems
Similarity reductions of the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation and an integrable version of the coupled Maxwell-Bloch system are obtained by applying non-translational symmetries. The reduced system of coupled ordinary differential equations are solved in terms of Painlevé transcendents, leading to new exact self-similar solutions for these integrable equations.

متن کاملSpecial solutions of nonlinear von Neumann equations
We consider solutions of the non-linear von Neumann equation involving Jacobi’s elliptic functions sn, cn, and dn, and 3 linearly independent operators. In two cases one can construct a state-dependent Hamiltonian which is such that the corresponding non-linear von Neumann equation is solved by the given density operator. We prove that in a certain context these two cases are the only possibili...
متن کاملEvolution of the female roles in the US (Case study: The Hollywood movies in the late 1970s and early 1980s)
Prior to the 1980s, numerous charges of discrimination were noteworthy among women in Hollywood. In those years, women were in uncertain situations, so they seemed aimless and vulnerable. In the period that this article focuses on, the female characters are or have become intelligent and therefore open-minded and potentially independent. Although, they are still vulnerable and unsure of themsel...
