KPII: Cauchy-Jost function, Darboux transformations and totally nonnegative matrices

Direct definition of the Cauchy-Jost (known also as Cauchy-Baker-Akhiezer) function in the case of pure solitonic solution is given and properties of this function are discussed in detail using the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili II equation as example. This enables formulation of the Darboux transformations in terms of the Cauchy-Jost function and classification of these transformations. Action of Darboux transformations on Grassmanians-i.e., on the space of soliton parameters-is derived and relation of the Darboux transformations with property of total nonnegativity of elements of corresponding Grassmanians is discussed.

Cauchy--Jost function and hierarchy of integrable equations

Properties of the Cauchy--Jost (known also as Cauchy--Baker--Akhiezer) function of the KPII equation are described. By means of the $\bar\partial$-problem for this function it is shown that all equations of the KPII hierarchy are given in a compact and explicit form, including equations on the Cauchy--Jost function itself, time evolutions of the Jost solutions and evolutions of the potential of the heat equation.

IST of KPII equation for perturbed multisoliton solutions

The Direct and the Inverse Scattering Problems for the heat operator with a potential being a perturbation of an arbitrary $N$ soliton potential are formulated. We introduce Jost solutions and spectral data and present their properties. Then, giving the time evolution of the spectral data, the initial value problem of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili II equation for a solution describing $N$ solitons perturbed by a generic smooth fast decaying potential is linearized.

Extended resolvent of heat operator with multisoliton potential

The heat operator with a general multisoliton potential is considered and its extended resolvent, depending on a parameter $q\in\R^2$ is derived. Its boundedness properties in all variables and its discontinuities in the parameter $q$ are given. As the result, the Green's functions are introduced and their properties are studied in detail.

Green's function of heat operator with pure soliton potential

The heat operator with a pure soliton potential is considered and its Green's function, depending on a complex spectral parameter k, is derived. Its boundedness properties in all variables and its singularities in the spectral parameter k are studied. A generalization of the Green's function, the extended resolvent, is also given.

Heat operator with pure soliton potential: properties of Jost and dual Jost solutions

Properties of Jost and dual Jost solutions of the heat equation, $\Phi(x,k)$ and $\Psi(x,k)$, in the case of a pure solitonic potential are studied in detail. We describe their analytical properties on the spectral parameter $k$ and their asymptotic behavior on the $x$-plane and we show that the values of $e^{-qx}\Phi(x,k)$ and the residua of $e^{qx}\Psi(x,k)$ at special discrete values of $k$ are bounded functions of $x$ in a polygonal region of the $q$-plane. Correspondingly, we deduce that the extended version $L(q)$ of the heat operator with a pure solitonic potential has left and right annihilators for $q$ belonging to these polygonal regions.

Properties of the solitonic potentials of the heat operator

Properties of the pure solitonic $\tau$-function and potential of the heat equation are studied in detail. We describe the asymptotic behavior of the potential and identify the ray structure of this asymptotic behavior on the $x$-plane in dependence on the parameters of the potential.

Building extended resolvent of heat operator via twisting transformations

Twisting transformations for the heat operator are introduced. They are used, at the same time, to superimpose a` la Darboux N solitons to a generic smooth, decaying at infinity, potential and to generate the corresponding Jost solutions. These twisting operators are also used to study the existence of the related extended resolvent. Existence and uniqueness of the extended resolvent in the case of $N$ solitons with N "ingoing" rays and one "outgoing" ray is studied in details.

On the extended resolvent of the Nonstationary Schrodingher operator for a Darboux transformed potential

In the framework of the resolvent approach it is introduced a so called twisting operator that is able, at the same time, to superimpose \`a la Darboux $N$ solitons to a generic smooth decaying potential of the Nonstationary Schr\"odinger operator and to generate the corresponding Jost solutions. This twisting operator is also used to construct an explicit bilinear representation in terms of the Jost solutions of the related extended resolvent. The main properties of the Jost and auxiliary Jost solutions and of the resolvent are discussed.

A discrete Schrodinger spectral problem and associated evolution equations

A recently proposed discrete version of the Schrodinger spectral problem is considered. The whole hierarchy of differential-difference nonlinear evolution equations associated to this spectral problem is derived. It is shown that a discrete version of the KdV, sine-Gordon and Liouville equations are included and that the so called `inverse' class in the hierarchy is local. The whole class of related Darboux and Backlund transformations is also exhibited.

Inverse scattering theory for the perturbed 1-soliton potential of the heat equation

Inverse scattering transform method of the heat equation is developed for a special subclass of potentials nondecaying at space infinity---perturbations of the one-soliton potential by means of decaying two-dimensional functions. Extended resolvent, Green's functions, and Jost solutions are introduced and their properties are investigated in detail. The singularity structure of the spectral data is given and then the Inverse problem is formulated in an exact distributional sense.

Raman solitons in transient SRS

We report the observation of Raman solitons on numerical simulations of transient stimulated Raman scattering (TSRS) with small group velocity dispersion. The theory proceeds with the inverse scattering transform (IST) for initial-boundary value problems and it is shown that the explicit theoretical solution obtained by IST for a semi-infinite medium fits strikingly well the numerical solution for a finite medium. We understand this from the rapid decrease of the medium dynamical variable (the potential of the scattering theory). The spectral transform reflection coefficient can be computed directly from the values of the input and output fields and this allows to see the generation of the Raman solitons from the numerical solution. We confirm the presence of these nonlinear modes in the medium dynamical variable by the use of a discrete spectral analysis.

Self-similar solutions of NLS-type dynamical systems

We study self-similar solutions of NLS-type dynamical systems. Lagrangian approach is used to show that they can be reduced to three canonical forms, which are related by Miura transformations. The fourth Painleve equation (PIV) is central in our consideration - it connects Heisenberg model, Volterra model and Toda model to each other. The connection between the rational solutions of PIV and Coulomb gas in a parabolic potential is established. We discuss also the possibility to obtain an exact solution for optical soliton i.e. of the NLS equation with time-dependent dispersion.

Potentials of the nonstationary Schrödinger operator constructed by means of $n$ recursive Bäcklund transformations are studied in detail. Corresponding Darboux transformations of the Jost solutions are introduced. We show that these solutions obey modified integral equations and present their analyticity properties. Generated transformations of the spectral data are derived.

Nonlinear Spectral Characterization of Discrete Data

The explicit analytical expression of the Nonlinear Fourier Transform (NFT) of a finite set of data is provided. Then a simple recursion relation for the NFT is constructed as a function of the spectral parameter. These tools provide a complete characterization of the nonlinear coherent structures (solitons, breathers, ...) present in numerical or experimental data representing the solution, at a given value of time, of a nonlinear evolution equation (e.g. of the nonlinear Schroedinger family).

Nonlinear Discrete Systems with Nonanalytic Dispersion Relations

A discrete system of coupled waves (with nonanalytic dispersion relation) is derived in the context of the spectral transform theory for the Ablowitz Ladik spectral problem (discrete version of the Zakharov-Shabat system). This 3-wave evolution problem is a discrete version of the stimulated Raman scattering equations, and it is shown to be solvable for arbitrary boundary value of the two radiation fields and initial value of the medium state. The spectral transform is constructed on the basis of the D-bar approach.

Multidimensional Localized Solitons

Recently it has been discovered that some nonlinear evolution equations in 2+1 dimensions, which are integrable by the use of the Spectral Transform, admit localized (in the space) soliton solutions. This article briefly reviews some of the main results obtained in the last five years thanks to the renewed interest in soliton theory due to this discovery. The theoretical tools needed to understand the unexpected richness of behaviour of multidimensional localized solitons during their mutual scattering are furnished. Analogies and especially discrepancies with the unidimensional case are stressed.
