Variational identities and applications to Hamiltonian structures of soliton equations
نویسنده
چکیده
This is an introductory report concerning our recent research on Hamiltonian structures. We will discuss variational identities associated with continuous and discrete spectral problems, and their applications to Hamiltonian structures of soliton equations. Our illustrative examples are the AKNS hierarchy and the Volterra lattice hierarchy associated with semisimple Lie algebras, and two hierarchies of their integrable couplings associated with non-semisimple Lie algebras. The resulting Hamiltonian structures generate infinitely many commuting symmetries and conservation laws for the four soliton hierarchies. The presented variational identities can be applied to Hamiltonian structures of other soliton hierarchies. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Loop Algebras and Bi-integrable Couplings∗
A class of non-semisimple matrix loop algebras consisting of triangular block matrices is introduced and used to generate bi-integrable couplings of soliton equations from zero curvature equations. The variational identities under non-degenerate, symmetric and ad-invariant bilinear forms are used to furnish Hamiltonian structures of the resulting bi-integrable couplings. A special case of the s...

Beginning with Lax pairs from special non-semisimple matrix Lie algebras, we establish a scheme for constructing nonlinear discrete integrable couplings. Discrete variational identities over the associated loop algebras are used to build Hamiltonian structures for the resulting integrable couplings. We illustrate the application of the scheme by means of an enlargedVolterra spectral problemandp...

Based on a kind of special non-semisimple Lie algebras, a scheme is presented for constructing nonlinear continuous integrable couplings. Variational identities over the corresponding loop algebras are used to furnish Hamiltonian structures for the resulting continuous integrable couplings. The application of the scheme is illustrated by an example of nonlinear continuous integrable Hamiltonian...

We discuss Hamiltonian formulations for integrable couplings, particularly biand tri-integrable couplings, based on zero curvature equations. The basic tools are the variational identities over non-semisimple Lie algebras consisting of block matrices. Illustrative examples include dark equations and biand tri-integrable couplings of the KdV equation and the AKNS equations, generated from the en...
متن کاملNonlinear bi-integrable couplings with Hamiltonian structures
Bi-integrable couplings of soliton equations are presented through introducing non-semisimple matrix Lie algebras on which there exist non-degenerate, symmetric and ad-invariant bilinear forms. The corresponding variational identity yields Hamiltonian structures of the resulting bi-integrable couplings. An application to the AKNS spectral problem gives bi-integrable couplings with Hamiltonian s...
