On Methods of Finding Bäcklund Transformations in Systems with More than Two Independent Variables

چکیده
Bäcklund transformations, which are relations among solutions of partial differential equations–usually nonlinear–have been found and applied mainly for systems with two independent variables. A few are known for equations like the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation [1], which has three independent variables, but they are rare. Wahlquist and Estabrook [2] discovered a systematic method for searching for Bäcklund transformations, using an auxiliary linear system called a prolongation structure. The integrability conditions for the prolongation structure are to be the original differential equation system, most of which systems have just two independent variables. This paper discusses how the Wahlquist-Estabrook method might be applied to systems with larger numbers of variables, with the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation as an example. The Zakharov-Shabat method is also discussed. Applications to other equations, such as the Davey-Stewartson and Einstein equation systems, are presented.

Bäcklund Transformations for Finite-dimensional Integrable Systems: a Geometric Approach
We present a geometric construction of Bäcklund transformations and discretizations for a large class of algebraic completely integrable systems. To be more precise, we construct families of Bäcklund transformations, which are naturally parametrized by the points on the spectral curve(s) of the system. The key idea is that a point on the curve determines, through the Abel-Jacobi map, a vector o...
متن کاملBäcklund–Darboux Transformations and Discretizations of Super KdV Equation
For a generalized super KdV equation, three Darboux transformations and the corresponding Bäcklund transformations are constructed. The compatibility of these Darboux transformations leads to three discrete systems and their Lax representations. The reduction of one of the Bäcklund–Darboux transformations and the corresponding discrete system are considered for Kupershmidt’s super KdV equation....

Small scale thermal devices, such as micro heater, have led researchers to consider more accurate models of heat in thermal systems. Moreover, biological applications of heat transfer such as simulation of temperature field in laser surgery is another pathway which urges us to re-examine thermal systems with modern ones. Non-Fourier heat transfer overcomes some shortcomings of Fourier heat tran...
متن کاملA Recursive Approximation Approach of non-iid Lognormal Random Variables Summation in Cellular Systems
Co-channel interference is a major factor in limiting the capacity and link quality in cellular communications. As the co-channel interference is modeled by lognormal distribution, sum of the co-channel interferences of neighboring cells is represented by the sum of lognormal Random Variables (RVs) which has no closed-form expression. Assuming independent, identically distributed (iid) RVs, the...
