    Multiscale expansion and integrability properties of the lattice potential KdV equation

    Full text link
    We apply the discrete multiscale expansion to the Lax pair and to the first few symmetries of the lattice potential Korteweg-de Vries equation. From these calculations we show that, like the lowest order secularity conditions give a nonlinear Schrödinger equation, the Lax pair gives at the same order the Zakharov and Shabat spectral problem and the symmetries the hierarchy of point and generalized symmetries of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation

    Algebraic extensions of Gaudin models RID A-7283-2010

    No full text
    We perform a Inonu-Wigner contraction on Gaudin models, showing how the integrability property is preserved by this algebraic procedure. Starting from Gaudin models we obtain new integrable chains, that we call Lagrange chains, associated to the same linear r-matrix structure. We give a general construction involving rational, trigonometric and elliptic solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter equation. Two particular examples are explicitly considered: the rational Lagrange chain and the trigonometric one. In both cases local variables of the models are the generators of the direct sum of N e(3) interacting tops

    The lattice Schwarzian KdV equation and its symmetries

    No full text
    In this paper, we present a set of results on the symmetries of the lattice Schwarzian Korteweg-de Vries (1SKdV) equation. We construct the Lie point symmetries and, using its associated spectral problem, an infinite sequence of generalized symmetries and master symmetries. We finally show that we can use master symmetries of the 1SKdV equation to construct non-autonomous non-integrable generalized symmetries

    Separation of variables and Backlund transformations for the symmetric Lagrange top

    No full text
    We construct the one- and two-point integrable maps (Backlund transformations) for the symmetric Lagrange top. We show that the Lagrange top has the same algebraic Poisson structure that belongs to the sl(2) Gaudin magnet. The two-point map leads to a real time discretization of the continuous flow. Therefore, it provides an integrable numerical scheme for integrating the physical flow. We illustrate the construction by a few pictures of the discrete flow calculated in MATLAB

    Continuous symmetries of the lattice potential KdV equation

    No full text
    In this paper we present a set of results on the integration and on the symmetries of the lattice potential Korteweg-deVries (lpKdV) equation. Using its associated spectral problem we construct the soliton solutions and the Lax technique enables us to provide infinite sequences of generalized symmetries. Finally, using a discrete symmetry of the lpKdV equation, we construct a large class of non-autonomous generalized symmetries

    Multiscale reduction of discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equations

    No full text
    We use a discrete multiscale analysis to study the asymptotic integrability of differential-difference equations. In particular, we show that multiscale perturbation techniques provide an analytic tool to derive necessary integrability conditions for two well-known discretizations of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation

    From su(2) Gaudin Models to Integrable Tops

    Full text link
    In the present paper we derive two well-known integrable cases of rigid body dynamics (the Lagrange top and the Clebsch system) performing an algebraic contraction on the two-body Lax matrices governing the (classical) su(2) Gaudin models. The procedure preserves the linear r-matrix formulation of the ancestor models. We give the Lax representation of the resulting integrable systems in terms of su(2) Lax matrices with rational and elliptic dependencies on the spectral parameter. We finally give some results about the many-body extensions of the constructed systems

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
