Compatible pairs of Hamiltonian operators of the first and third orders

We compute general compatibility conditions between a weakly nonlocal homogeneous Hamiltonian operator and a third-order homogeneous Hamiltonian operator. Such operators determine a bi-Hamiltonian structure for many integrable PDEs (Korteweg--De Vries, Camassa--Holm, dispersive water waves, Dym, WDVV and others). Remarkably, the full set of conditions is purely algebraic and the first-order operator is completely determined by commuting systems of conservation laws that are Hamiltonian with respect to a third-order operator. We illustrate the above results with several examples, some of which, concerning WDVV equations, are new.

On the prolongation of a local hydrodynamic-type Hamiltonian operator to a nonlocal one

Nonlocal Hamiltonian operators of Ferapontov type are well-known objects that naturally arise local from Hamiltonian operators of Dubrovin-Novikov type with the help of three constructions, Dirac reduction, recursion scheme and reciprocal transformation. We provide an additional construction, namely the prolongation of a local hydrodynamic-type Hamiltonian operator of a subsystem to its nonlocal counterpart for the entire system. We exemplify this construction by a system governing an isothermal no-slip drift flux.

Defining differential equations for modular forms and Jacobi forms

It is well known that every modular form~$f$ on a discrete subgroup $\Gamma\leqslant \textrm{SL}(2, \mathbb R)$ satisfies a third-order nonlinear ODE that expresses algebraic dependence of the functions~$f$, $f'$, $f''$ and~$f'''$. These ODEs are automatically invariant under the Lie group $\textrm{SL}(2, \mathbb R)$, which acts on the solution spaces thereof with an open orbit (and the discrete stabiliser~$\Gamma$ of a generic solution). Similarly, every modular form satisfies a fourth-order nonlinear ODE that is invariant under the Lie group $\textrm{GL}(2, \mathbb R)$ acting on its solution space with an open orbit. ODEs for modular forms can be compactly expressed in terms of the differential invariants of these actions. The invariant forms of both ODEs define plane algebraic curves naturally associated with every modular form; the corresponding ODEs can be seen as modular parametrisations of the associated curves. After reviewing examples of nonlinear ODEs satisfied by classical modular forms (such as Eisenstein series, modular forms on congruence subgroups of level two and three, theta constants, and some newforms of weight two), we generalise these results to Jacobi forms; these satisfy involutive third-order PDE systems that are invariant under the Lie group $\textrm{SL}(2, \mathbb R)\ltimes H$ where $H$ is the Heisenberg group.

Linearisable Abel equations and the Gurevich--Pitaevskii problem

Applying symmetry reduction to a class of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb R)$-invariant third-order ODEs, we obtain Abel equations whose general solution can be parametrised by hypergeometric functions. Particular case of this construction provides a general parametric solution to the Kudashev equation, an ODE arising in the Gurevich--Pitaevskii problem, thus giving the first term of a large-time asymptotic expansion of its solution in the oscillatory (Whitham) zone.

Mapping method of group classification

We revisit the entire framework of group classification of differential equations. After introducing the notion of weakly similar classes of differential equations, we develop the mapping method of group classification for such classes, which generalizes all the versions of this method that have been presented in the literature. The mapping method is applied to group classification of various classes of Kolmogorov equations and of Fokker-Planck equations in the case of space dimension one. The equivalence groupoids and the equivalence groups of these classes are computed. The group classification problems for these classes with respect to the corresponding equivalence groups are reduced to finding all inequivalent solutions of heat equations with inequivalent potentials admitting Lie-symmetry extensions. This reduction allows us to exhaustively solve the group classification problems for the classes of Kolmogorov and Fokker-Planck equations with time-independent coefficients.

Generalized symmetries and conservation laws of (1+1)-dimensional Klein-Gordon equation

Using advantages of nonstandard computational techniques based on the light-cone variables, we explicitly find the algebra of generalized symmetries of the (1+1)-dimensional Klein-Gordon equation. This allows us to describe this algebra in terms of the universal enveloping algebra of the essential Lie invariance algebra of the Klein-Gordon equation. Then we single out variational symmetries of the corresponding Lagrangian and compute the space of local conservation laws of this equation, which turns out to be generated, up to the action of generalized symmetries, by a single first-order conservation law. Moreover, for every conservation law we find a conserved current of minimal order that is contained in this conservation law.

Generalized symmetries, conservation laws and Hamiltonian structures of an isothermal no-slip drift flux model

We study the hydrodynamic-type system of differential equations modeling isothermal no-slip drift flux. Using the facts that the system is partially coupled and its subsystem reduces to the (1+1)-dimensional Klein--Gordon equation, we exhaustively describe generalized symmetries, cosymmetries and local conservation laws of this system. A generating set of local conservation laws under the action of generalized symmetries is proved to consist of two zeroth-order conservation laws. The subspace of translation-invariant conservation laws is singled out from the entire space of local conservation laws. We also find broad families of local recursion operators and a nonlocal recursion operator, and construct an infinite family of Hamiltonian structures involving an arbitrary function of a single argument. For each of the constructed Hamiltonian operators, we obtain the associated algebra of Hamiltonian symmetries.

Equivalence groupoid and group classification of a class of variable-coefficient Burgers equations

We study admissible transformations and Lie symmetries for a class of variable-coefficient Burgers equations. We combine the advanced methods of splitting into normalized subclasses and of mappings between classes that are generated by families of point transformations parameterized by arbitrary elements of the original classes. A nontrivial differential constraint on the arbitrary elements of the class of variable-coefficient Burgers equations leads to its partition into two subclasses, which are related to normalized classes via families of point transformations parameterized by subclasses' arbitrary elements. One of the mapped classes is proved to be normalized in the extended generalized sense, and its effective extended generalized equivalence group is found. Using the mappings between classes and the algebraic method of group classification, we carry out the group classification of the initial class with respect to its equivalence groupoid.

Extended symmetry analysis of isothermal no-slip drift flux model

We perform extended group analysis for a system of differential equations modeling an isothermal no-slip drift flux. The maximal Lie invariance algebra of this system is proved to be infinite-dimensional. We also find the complete point symmetry group of this system, including discrete symmetries, using the megaideal-based version of the algebraic method. Optimal lists of one- and two-dimensional subalgebras of the maximal Lie invariance algebra in question are constructed and employed for obtaining reductions of the system under study. Since this system contains a subsystem of two equations that involves only two of three dependent variables, we also perform group analysis of this subsystem. The latter can be linearized by a composition of a fiber-preserving point transformation with a two-dimensional hodograph transformation to the Klein-Gordon equation. We also employ both the linearization and the generalized hodograph method for constructing the general solution of the entire system under study. We find inter alia genuinely generalized symmetries for this system and present the connection between them and the Lie symmetries of the subsystem we mentioned earlier. Hydrodynamic conservation laws and their generalizations are also constructed.

Enhanced group classification of nonlinear diffusion-reaction equations with gradient-dependent diffusion

We carry out the enhanced group classification of a class of (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear diffusion-reaction equations with gradient-dependent diffusivity using the two-step version of the method of furcate splitting. For simultaneously finding the equivalence groups of an unnormalized class of differential equations and a collection of its subclasses, we suggest an optimized version of the direct method. The optimization includes the preliminary study of admissible transformations within the entire class and the successive splitting of the corresponding determining equations with respect to arbitrary elements and their derivatives depending on auxiliary constraints associated with each of required subclasses. In the course of applying the suggested technique to subclasses of the class under consideration, we construct, for the first time, a nontrivial example of finite-dimensional effective generalized equivalence group. Using the method of Lie reduction and the generalized separation of variables, exact solutions of some equations under consideration are found.

Equivalence groupoid of a class of general Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equations with space-dependent coefficients

We describe the equivalence groupoid of the class of general Burgers - Korteweg - de Vries equations with space-dependent coefficients. This class is shown to reduce by a family of equivalence transformations to a subclass whose usual equivalence group is four-dimensional. Classified are admissible transformations of this subclass and singled out are its subclasses admitting maximal nontrivial conditional equivalence groups. All of them turn out to have dimension higher than four. In particular, a few new examples of nontrivial cases of normalization in the generalized sense of classes of differential equations appeared this way.

Group analysis of general Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equations

The complete group classification problem for the class of (1+1)-dimensional $r$th order general variable-coefficient Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equations is solved for arbitrary values of $r$ greater than or equal to two. We find the equivalence groupoids of this class and its various subclasses obtained by gauging equation coefficients with equivalence transformations. Showing that this class and certain gauged subclasses are normalized in the usual sense, we reduce the complete group classification problem for the entire class to that for the selected maximally gauged subclass, and it is the latter problem that is solved efficiently using the algebraic method of group classification. Similar studies are carried out for the two subclasses of equations with coefficients depending at most on the time or space variable, respectively. Applying an original technique, we classify Lie reductions of equations from the class under consideration with respect to its equivalence group. Studying of alternative gauges for equation coefficients with equivalence transformations allows us not only to justify the choice of the most appropriate gauge for the group classification but also to construct for the first time classes of differential equations with nontrivial generalized equivalence group such that equivalence-transformation components corresponding to equation variables locally depend on nonconstant arbitrary elements of the class. For the subclass of equations with coefficients depending at most on the time variable, which is normalized in the extended generalized sense, we explicitly construct its extended generalized equivalence group in a rigorous way. The new notion of effective generalized equivalence group is introduced.
