Continuum limit of nonlinear discrete systems with long range interaction potentials

Abstract

One dimensional nonlinear lattices with harmonic long range interaction potentials (LRIP) having an inverse power kernel type, are studied. For the nearest neighbour nonlinear interaction we consider the anharmonic potential of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam problem and the ϕ^3+ϕ^4 potential as well. The continuum limit is obtained following the method used by Ishimori and several Boussinesq and KdV type equations with supplementary Hilbert transform terms are found. These nonlocal terms are introduced by the LRIP. For the ϕ^3+ϕ^4 nearest neighbour interactions the continuum approximation turns out to admit exact bilinearization in Hirota formalism. Exact rational nonsingular solutions are found. The integrability of these nonlocal equations and the connection with perturbed KdV are also discussed.

The averaging of non-local Hamiltonian structures in Whitham's method

We consider the $m$-phase Whitham's averaging method and propose a procedure of "averaging" of non-local Hamiltonian structures. The procedure is based on the existence of a sufficient number of local commuting integrals of a system and gives a Poisson bracket of Ferapontov type for the Whitham's system. The method can be considered as a generalization of the Dubrovin-Novikov procedure for the local field-theoretical brackets.

On two aspects of the Painleve analysis

We use the Calogero equation to illustrate the following two aspects of the Painleve analysis of nonlinear PDEs. First, if a nonlinear equation passes the Painleve test for integrability, the singular expansions of its solutions around characteristic hypersurfaces can be neither single-valued functions of independent variables nor single-valued functionals of data. Second, if the truncation of singular expansions of solutions is consistent, the truncation not necessarily leads to the simplest, or elementary, auto-Backlund transformation related to the Lax pair.

The tetrahedral analog of Veneziano amplitude

In solv-int/9812016 it was shown that the Veneziano amplitude in string theory comes naturally from one of the simplest solutions of the functional pentagon equation (FPE). More generally, FPE is intimately connected with the duality condition for scattering processes. Here I find the amplitude that comes the same way from a solution of the functional tetrahedron equation, with the duality replaced by the local Yang - Baxter equation.
