چکیده

The sine-Gordon equation with periodic boundary conditions describes integrable dynamics on the space of closed curves of constant torsion, for which multi-phase solutions provide large classes of canonical knot representatives. In this letter we discuss the use of Bäcklund transformations for studying the topological properties and symmetries of multi-phase solutions and of their homoclinic manifolds.

The Bäcklund transformation for pseudospherical surfaces, which is equivalent to that of the sine-Gordon equation, can be restricted to give a transformation on space curves that preserves constant torsion. We study its effects on closed curves (in particular, elastic rods) that generate multiphase solutions for the vortex filament flow (also known as the Localized Induction Equation). In doing...

Generalized solution of Sine-Gordon equation

In this paper, we are interested to study the Sine-Gordon equation in generalized functions theory introduced by Colombeau, in the first we give result of existence and uniqueness of generalized solution with initial data are distributions (elements of the Colombeau algebra). Then we study the association concept with the classical solution.

New study to construct new solitary wave solutions for generalized sinh- Gordon equation

In this work, we successfully construct the new exact traveling wave solutions of the generalized Sinh–Gordon equation by new application of the homogeneous balance method. The idea introduced in this paper can be applied to other nonlinear evolution equations.

The integrable dynamics of discrete and continuous curves

We show that the following geometric properties of the motion of discrete and continuous curves select integrable dynamics: i) the motion of the curve takes place in the N dimensional sphere of radius R, ii) the curve does not stretch during the motion, iii) the equations of the dynamics do not depend explicitly on the radius of the sphere. Well known examples of integrable evolution equations,...
