چکیده

It is shown that the self-induced transparency equations can be interpreted as a generating function for as positive so negative flows in the AKNS hierarchy. Mutual commutativity of these flows leads to other hierarchies of integrable equations. In particular, it is shown that stimulated Raman scattering equations generate the hierarchy of flows which include the Heisenberg model equations. This observation reveals some new relationships between known integrable equations and permits one to construct their new physically important combinations. Generating function of Whitham modulation equations in the AKNS hierarchy is obtained. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. It is well-known that many physically important integrable partial differential equations belong to the AKNS hierarchy [1]. Up to now most attention was paid to its positive flows, where both 2 x 2 matrices U and V have matrix elements polynomial in the spectral parameter X what leads to the recursive structure of the hierarchy so that subsequent flows are connected by the recursion operator (see, e.g., [2]). However, negative flows in the AKNS hierarchy have not been considered systematically enough, though the sine-Gordon equation and its connection with the mKdV hierarchy has been a recurrent theme in the soliton literature (see, e.g., [3-7]). Another example of well-studied negative flow is provided by the self-induced transparency (SIT) equations [8,9] which appeared also in different forms and contexts as the Pohlmeyer-Lund-Regge equations [10-12]. Their role as a symmetry flow in the AKNS hierarchy has been recently considered in [13] in framework of loop algebra approach to the integrable equations. Here we remark that SIT equations can be interpreted as a generating function of positive and negative flows in the AKNS hierarchy. The AKNS hierarchy [1] is based on the Zakharov and Shabat [14] spectral problem Let us consider the first negative flow with the pole at X — t, in the complex plane of the spectral parameter X: 1 (a b \ />, V," (2) Corresponding author.

A Characterization of All Elliptic Solutions of the Akns Hierarchy

An explicit characterization of all elliptic algebro-geometric solutions of the AKNS hierarchy is presented. More precisely, we show that a pair of elliptic functions (p, q) is an algebro-geometric AKNS potential, that is, a solution of some equation of the stationary AKNS hierarchy, if and only if the associated linear differential system JΨ +QΨ = EΨ, where J = (

An Alternative Approach to Algebro-geometric Solutions of the Akns Hierarchy

We develop an alternative systematic approach to the AKNS hierarchy based on elementary algebraic methods. In particular, we recursively construct Lax pairs for the entire AKNS hierarchy by introducing a fundamental polynomial formalism and establish the basic algebro-geometric setting including associated BurchnallChaundy curves, Baker-Akhiezer functions, trace formulas, Dubrovin-type equation...

A Coupled AKNS-Kaup-Newell Soliton Hierarchy

A coupled AKNS-Kaup-Newell hierarchy of systems of soliton equations is proposed in terms of hereditary symmetry operators resulted from Hamiltonian pairs. Zero curvature representations and tri-Hamiltonian structures are established for all coupled AKNS-Kaup-Newell systems in the hierarchy. Therefore all systems have infinitely many commuting symmetries and conservation laws. Two reductions of...
