We show that under certain assumptions a general model of nonlocal nonlinear response in 1+1-dimension is equivalent to the model considered by Krolikowski and Bang for a Kerr-type medium. We derive the limit of weak nonlocality in high frequency regime and discuss the integrable cases.
Symmetry constraints for dispersionless integrable equations are discussed. It is shown that under symmetry constraints the dispersionless Veselov-Novikov equation is reduced to the 1+1-dimensional hydrodynamic type systems.
Geometrical optics limit of the Maxwell equations for nonlinear media with the Cole-Cole dependence of dielectric function and magnetic permeability on the frequency is considered. It is shown that for media with slow variation along one axis such a limit gives rise to the dispersionless Veselov-Novikov equation for the refractive index. It is demonstrated that the Veselov-Novikov hierarchy is amenable to the quasiclassical DBAR-dressing method. Under more specific requirements for the media, one gets the dispersionless Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation. Geometrical optics interpretation of some solutions of the above equations is discussed.
It is shown that the geometrical optics limit of the Maxwell equations for certain nonlinear media with slow variation along one axis and particular dependence of dielectric constant on the frequency and fields gives rise to the dispersionless Veselov-Novikov equation for refractive index. It is demonstrated that the last one is amenable to the quasiclassical DBAR-dressing method. A connection is noted between geometrical optics phenomena under consideration and quasiconformal mappings on the plane.
The Lax pseudo-differential operator plays a key role in studying the general set of KP equations, although it is normally treated in a formal way, without worrying about a complete characterization of its mathematical properties. The aim of the present paper is therefore to investigate the ellipticity condition. For this purpose, after a careful evaluation of the kernel with the associated symbol, the majorization ensuring ellipticity is studied in detail. This leads to non-trivial restrictions on the admissible set of potentials in the Lax operator. When their time evolution is also considered, the ellipticity conditions turn out to involve derivatives of the logarithm of the tau-function.
Integrable hierarchies associated with the singular sector of the KP hierarchy, or equivalently, with $\dbar$-operators of non-zero index are studied. They arise as the restriction of the standard KP hierarchy to submanifols of finite codimension in the space of independent variables. For higher $\dbar$-index these hierarchies represent themselves families of multidimensional equations with multidimensional constraints. The $\dbar$-dressing method is used to construct these hierarchies. Hidden KdV, Boussinesq and hidden Gelfand-Dikii hierarchies are considered too.
