A discrete time peakons lattice

1 99 5 A discrete time peakons lattice

A discretization of the peakons lattice is introduced, belonging to the same hierarchy as the continuous–time system. The construction examplifies the general scheme for integrable discretization of systems on Lie algebras with r–matrix Poisson brackets. An initial value problem for the difference equations is solved in terms of a factorization problem in a group. Interpolating Hamiltonian flow...

A discrete time relativistic Toda lattice

Four integrable symplectic maps approximating two Hamiltonian flows from the relativistic Toda hierarchy are introduced. They are demostrated to belong to the same hierarchy and to examplify the general scheme for symplectic maps on groups equiped with quadratic Poisson brackets. The initial value problem for the difference equations is solved in terms of a factorization problem in a group. Int...

Degasperis–Procesi peakons and the discrete cubic string

We use an inverse scattering approach to study multi-peakon solutions of the Degasperis–Procesi (DP) equation, an integrable PDE similar to the Camassa–Holm shallow water equation. The spectral problem associated to the DP equation is equivalent under a change of variables to what we call the cubic string problem, which is a third order non-selfadjoint generalization of the well-known equation ...

A Robust Control Design Technique for Discrete-Time Systems

A robust state feedback design subject to placement of the closed loop eigenvalues in a prescribed region of unit circle is presented. Quantitative measures of robustness and disturbance rejection are investigated. A stochastic optimization algorithm is used to effect trade-off between the free design parameters and to accomplish all the design criteria. A numerical example is given to illustra...
