This brief review deals with prepotentials inspired by N = 1 SUSY considerations due to Cachazo, Intrilligator, Vafa. These prepotentials associated with matrix models following Dijkgraaf and Vafa should be considered as given on an enlarged moduli space that includes Whitham times (couplings of the superpotential). This moduli space is nothing but the whole moduli space of (decorated) hyperell...

The modified Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (mKP) equation is shown in this paper to be decomposable into the first two soliton equations of the 2N -coupled Chen-Lee-Liu and Kaup-Newell hierarchies by respectively nonlinearizing two sets of symmetry Lax pairs. In these two cases, the decomposed (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear systems both have a couple of different Lax representations, which means that the...

We discuss the recently established equivalence between the Laplacian growth in the limit of zero surface tension and the universal Whitham hierarchy known in soliton theory. This equivalence allows one to distinguish a class of exact solutions to the Laplacian growth problem in the multiply-connected case. These solutions corerespond to finite-dimensional reductions of the Whitham hierarchy re...

In the last two decades the Inverse Spectral Transform (IST) method has been generalized and successfully applied to various (2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equations such as Kadomtsev–Petviashvili, Davey–Stewardson, Nizhnik–Veselov–Novikov, Zakharov–Manakov system, Ishimory, two dimensional integrable sine-Gordon and others (see books [1, 2, 3, 4] and references therein). The nonlocal ...

In this paper, based on certain variable transformation, we apply the known (G’/G) method to seek exact solutions for three fractional partial differential equations: the space fractional (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equations, the space-time fractional Fokas equation, and the spacetime fractional Kaup-Kupershmidt equation. The fractional derivative is defined in the sense of modified Rie...
