Cauchy problem for integrable discrete equations on quad-graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Initial value problems for the integrable discrete equations on quadgraphs are investigated. We give a geometric criterion of when such a problem is well-posed. In the basic example of the discrete KdV equation an effective integration scheme based on the matrix factorization problem is proposed and the interaction of the solutions with the localized defects in the regular square lattice are discussed in details. The examples of kinks and solitons on various quad-graphs, including quasiperiodic tilings, are presented.

Classification of Integrable Equations on Quad-Graphs. The Consistency Approach
A classification of discrete integrable systems on quad–graphs, i.e. on surface cell decompositions with quadrilateral faces, is given. The notion of integrability laid in the basis of the classification is the three–dimensional consistency. This property yields, among other features, the existence of the discrete zero curvature representation with a spectral parameter. For all integrable syste...
متن کاملDiscrete nonlinear hyperbolic equations. Classification of integrable cases
We consider discrete nonlinear hyperbolic equations on quad-graphs, in particular on Z2. The fields are associated to the vertices and an equation Q(x1, x2, x3, x4) = 0 relates four fields at one quad. Integrability of equations is understood as 3Dconsistency. The latter is a possibility to consistently impose equations of the same type on all the faces of a three-dimensional cube. This allows ...

We propose a notion of a pluri-Lagrangian problem, which should be understood as an analogue of multidimensional consistency for variational systems. This is a development along the line of research of discrete integrable Lagrangian systems initiated in 2009 by Lobb and Nijhoff, however, having its more remote roots in the theory of pluriharmonic functions, in the Z-invariant models of statisti...
متن کاملOn the Lagrangian Structure of Integrable Quad-Equations
The new idea of flip invariance of action functionals in multidimensional lattices was recently highlighted as a key feature of discrete integrable systems. Flip invariance was proved for several particular cases of integrable quad-equations by Bazhanov, Mangazeev and Sergeev and by Lobb and Nijhoff. We provide a simple and case-independent proof for all integrable quad-equations. Moreover, we ...
