Applications of Grassmannian flows to coagulation systems

We demonstrate how many classes of Smoluchowski-type coagulation models can be realised as multiplicative Grassmannian flows and are therefore linearisable, and thus integrable in this sense. First, we prove that a general Smoluchowski-type equation with a constant frequency kernel, that encompasses a large class of such models, is realisable as a multiplicative Grassmannian flow. Second, we establish that several other related constant kernel models can also be realised as such. These include: the Gallay--Mielke coarsening model; the Derrida--Retaux depinning transition model and a general mutliple merger coagulation model. Third, we show how the additive and multiplicative frequency kernel cases can be realised as rank-one analytic Grassmannian flows.

Applications of Grassmannian flows to integrable systems

We show how many classes of partial differential systems with local and nonlocal nonlinearities are linearisable in the sense that they are realisable as Fredholm Grassmannian flows. In other words, time-evolutionary solutions to such systems can be constructed from solutions to the corresponding underlying linear partial differential system, by solving a linear Fredholm equation. For example, it is well-known that solutions to classical integrable partial differential systems can be generated by solving a corresponding linear partial differential system for the scattering data and then solving the linear Fredholm (or Volterra) integral equation known as the Gel'fand-Levitan-Marchenko equation. In this paper and in a companion paper, Doikou et al. [DMSW:graphflows], we both, survey the classes of nonlinear systems that are realisable as Fredholm Grassmannian flows, and present new example applications of such flows. We also demonstrate the usefulness of such a representation. Herein we extend the work of Poppe and demonstrate how solution flows of the non-commutative potential Korteweg de Vries and nonlinear Schrodinger systems are examples of such Grassmannian flows. In the companion paper we use this Grassmannian flow approach as well as an extension to nonlinear graph flows, to solve Smoluchowski coagulation and related equations.

Grassmannian flows and applications to non-commutative non-local and local integrable systems

We present a method for linearising classes of matrix-valued nonlinear partial differential equations with local and nonlocal nonlinearities. Indeed we generalise a linearisation procedure originally developed by Pöppe based on solving the corresponding underlying linear partial differential equation to generate an evolutionary Hankel operator for the `scattering data', and then solving a linear Fredholm equation akin to the Marchenko equation to generate the evolutionary solution to the nonlinear partial differential system. Our generalisation involves inflating the underlying linear partial differential system for the scattering data to incorporate corresponding adjoint, reverse time or reverse space-time data, and it also allows for Hankel operators with matrix-valued kernels. With this approach we show how to linearise the matrix nonlinear Schrödinger and modified Korteweg de Vries equations as well as nonlocal reverse time and/or reverse space-time versions of these systems. Further, we formulate a unified linearisation procedure that incorporates all these systems as special cases. Further still, we demonstrate all such systems are example Fredholm Grassmannian flows.

Grassmannian flows and applications to nonlinear partial differential equations

We show how solutions to a large class of partial differential equations with nonlocal Riccati-type nonlinearities can be generated from the corresponding linearized equations, from arbitrary initial data. It is well known that evolutionary matrix Riccati equations can be generated by projecting linear evolutionary flows on a Stiefel manifold onto a coordinate chart of the underlying Grassmann manifold. Our method relies on extending this idea to the infinite dimensional case. The key is an integral equation analogous to the Marchenko equation in integrable systems, that represents the coodinate chart map. We show explicitly how to generate such solutions to scalar partial differential equations of arbitrary order with nonlocal quadratic nonlinearities using our approach. We provide numerical simulations that demonstrate the generation of solutions to Fisher--Kolmogorov--Petrovskii--Piskunov equations with nonlocal nonlinearities. We also indicate how the method might extend to more general classes of nonlinear partial differential systems.

Partial differential systems with nonlocal nonlinearities: Generation and solutions

We develop a method for generating solutions to large classes of evolutionary partial differential systems with nonlocal nonlinearities. For arbitrary initial data, the solutions are generated from the corresponding linearized equations. The key is a Fredholm integral equation relating the linearized flow to an auxiliary linear flow. It is analogous to the Marchenko integral equation in integrable systems. We show explicitly how this can be achieved through several examples including reaction-diffusion systems with nonlocal quadratic nonlinearities and the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a nonlocal cubic nonlinearity. In each case we demonstrate our approach with numerical simulations. We discuss the effectiveness of our approach and how it might be extended.
