متن کاملEinstein–Weyl geometry, the dKP equation and twistor theory
It is shown that Einstein–Weyl (EW) equations in 2+1 dimensions contain the dispersionless Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (dKP) equation as a special case: If an EW structure admits a constant weighted vector then it is locally given by h = dy2−4dxdt−4udt2, ν = −4uxdt, where u = u(x, y, t) satisfies the dKP equation (ut − uux)x = uyy. Linearised solutions to the dKP equation are shown to give rise to f...

A class of Einstein–Weyl spaces associated to an integrable system of hydrodynamic type. Abstract HyperCR Einstein–Weyl equations in 2+1 dimensions reduce to a pair of quasi-linear PDEs of hydrodynamic type. All solutions to this hydrodynamic system can be in principle constructed from a twistor correspondence, thus establishing the integrability. Simple examples of solutions including the hydr...
متن کاملShock formation in the dispersionless Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation
The dispersionless Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (dKP) equation (ut + uux)x = uyy is one of the simplest nonlinear wave equations describing twodimensional shocks. To solve the dKP equation we use a coordinate transformation inspired by the method of characteristics for the one-dimensional Hopf equation ut + uux = 0. We show numerically that the solutions to the transformed equation develops singulari...

We have recently solved the inverse scattering problem for oneparameter families of vector fields, and used this result to construct the formal solution of the Cauchy problem for a class of integrable nonlinear partial differential equations in multidimensions, including the second heavenly equation of Plebanski and the dispersionless Kadomtsev Petviashvili (dKP) equation. We showed, in particu...
