Sundman Symmetries of Nonlinear Second-Order and Third-Order Ordinary Differential Equations

Norbert Euler, Marianna Euler
Pages: 399 - 421
We investigate the Sundman symmetries of second-order and third-order nonlinear odinary differential equations. These symmetries, which are in general nonlocal tranformations, arise from generalised Sundman transformations of autonomous equations. We show that these transformations and symmetries can...

F. Calogero
Pages: 397 - 414
Two new solvable dynamical systems of goldfish type are identified, as well as their isochronous variants. The equilibrium configurations of these isochronous variants are simply related to the zeros of appropriate Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials.

On Radial Schrödinger Equations in Curved Spaces and Their Spectra Through Nonlinear Constraints

J. Beckers, N. Debergh
Pages: 401 - 408
First, we determine the radial Schrödinger equation in D-dimensional curved spaces when central problems are considered. Second, we develop the so-called factorization method on the basis of supersymmetric arguments for solving such radial equations when D = 1, 2, 3-harmonic oscillator and D = 3-hydrogen...

Explicit solutions for a nonlinear model on the honeycomb and triangular lattices

V.E. Vekslerchik
Pages: 399 - 422
We study a simple nonlinear model defined on the honeycomb and triangular lattices. We propose a bilin-earization scheme for the field equations and demonstrate that the resulting system is closely related to the well-studied integrable models, such as the Hirota bilinear difference equation and the Ablowitz-Ladik...

Canonically Transformed Detectors Applied to the Classical Inverse Scattering Problem

C. Jung, T.H. Seligman, J.M. Torres
Pages: 404 - 411
The concept of measurement in classical scattering is interpreted as an overlap of a particle packet with some area in phase space that describes the detector. Considering that usually we record the passage of particles at some point in space, a common detector is described e.g. for one-dimensional systems...

How to Find Discrete Contact Symmetries

Peter E. Hydon
Pages: 405 - 416
This paper describes a new algorithm for determining all discrete contact symmetries of any differential equation whose Lie contact symmetries are known. The method is constructive and is easy to use. It is based upon the observation that the adjoint action of any contact symmetry is an automorphism...

Non-Lie Symmetries and Supersymmetries

Anatolii Nikitin
Pages: 405 - 415
Appeared more than one century ago, the classical Lie approach serves as a powerful tool in investigations of symmetries of partial differential equations. In the last three decades there appear essential generalizations of this approach. They are the modern version of the Lie-Bäcklund symmetries [1],...

Semidiscrete Integrable Nonlinear Systems Generated by the New Fourth-Order Spectral Operator: Local Conservation Laws

Oleksiy O. Vakhnenko
Pages: 401 - 414
Starting with the semidiscrete integrable nonlinear Schrödinger system on a zigzag-runged ladder lattice we have presented the generalization and an essentially off-diagonal enlargement of its spectral operator which in the framework of zero-curvature equation allows to generate at least two new types...

On the Origin of Fractional Shapiro Steps in Systems of Josephson Junctions with Few Degrees of Freedom

A. Valizadeh, M.R. Kolahchi, J.P. Straley
Pages: 407 - 416
We investigate the origin of fractional Shapiro steps in arrays consisting of a few overdamped Josephson junctions. We show that when the symmetry reduces the equations to that of a single junction equation, only integer steps appear. Otherwise, fractional steps will appear when the evolution equations...

The BCr-KP hierarchy is an important sub hierarchy of the KP hierarchy, which includes the BKP and CKP hierarchies as the special cases. Some properties of the BCr-KP hierarchy and its constrained case are investigated in this paper, including bilinear identities and squared eigenfunction symmetries....

In this paper I study the functional representation of the Volterra hierarchy (VH). Using the Miwa's shifts I rewrite the infinite set of Volterra equations as one functional equation. This result is used to derive a formal solution of the associated linear problem, a generating function for the conservation...

For each complex number ν, an associative symplectic reflection algebra ℋ := H1,ν (I2(2m + 1)), based on the group generated by root system I2(2m + 1), has an m-dimensional space of traces and an (m + 1)-dimensional space of supertraces. A (super)trace sp is said to be degenerate if the corresponding...

Asymptotically isochronous systems

Francesco Calogero, David Gomez-Ullate
Pages: 410 - 426
Mechanisms are elucidated underlying the existence of dynamical systems whose generic solutions approach asymptotically (at large time) isochronous evolutions: all their dependent variables tend asymptotically to functions periodic with the same fixed period. We focus on two such mechanisms, emphasizing...

Rogue wave management in an inhomogeneous Nonlinear Fibre with higher order effects

J.S. He, Y.S. Tao, K. Porsezian, A.S. Fokas
Pages: 407 - 419
We consider an inhomogeneous Hirota equation with variable dispersion and nonlinearity. We introduce a novel transformation which maps this equation to a constant coefficient Hirota equation. By employing this transformation we construct the rogue wave solution of the inhomogeneous Hirota equation. Furthermore,...
