Invariants and Symmetries for Partial Differential Equations and Lattices

Abstract

Methods for the computation of invariants and symmetries of nonlinear evolution, wave, and lattice equations are presented. The algorithms are based on dimensional analysis, and can be implemented in any symbolic language, such as Mathematica. Invariants and symmetries are shown for several well-known equations. Our Mathematica package allows one to automatically compute invariants and symmetries. Applied to systems with parameters, the package determines the conditions on these parameters so that a sequence of invariants or symmetries exists. The software can thus be used to test the integrability of model equations for wave phenomena.

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.
