We present a noncommutative version of the Burgers equation which possesses the Lax representation and discuss the integrability in detail. We find a noncommutative version of the Cole-Hopf transformation and succeed in the linearization of it. The linearized equation is the (noncommutative) diffusion equation and exactly solved. We also discuss the properties of some exact solutions. The resul...

We consider some natural connections which arise between right-flat (p, q) para-conformal structures and integrable systems. We find that such systems may be formulated in Lax form, with a " Lax p-tuple " of linear differential operators, depending a spectral parameter which lives in (q − 1)-dimensional complex projective space. Generally, the differential operators contain partial derivatives ...

Four explicit finite difference schemes, including Lax-Friedrichs, Nessyahu-Tadmor, Lax-Wendroff and Lax-Wendroff with a nonlinear filter are applied to solve water hammer equations. The schemes solve the equations in a reservoir-pipe-valve with an instantaneous and gradual closure of the valve boundary. The computational results are compared with those of the method of characteristics (MOC), a...

We propose a differential difference equation in R × Z and study it by Hirota’s bilinear method. This equation has a singular continuum limit into a system which admits the reduction to the Davey-Stewartson equation. The solutions of this discrete DS system are characterized by Casorati and Grammian determinants. Based on the bilinear form of this discrete DS system, we construct the bilinear B...

We construct the Lax pair for a higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation that includes terms accounting for the third-order dispersion, the self-steepening effect, and the delayed nonlinear response effect. Two exact analytic solutions that describe (i) modulation instability and (ii) soliton propagation on a continuous wave background are obtained by using the Darboux transformation. In add...

Using a Lax pair based on twisted affine sl(2, R) Kac-Moody and Virasoro algebras, we deduce a r-matrix formulation of two dimensional reduced vacuum Einstein’s equations. Whereas the fundamental Poisson brackets are non-ultralocal, they lead to pure c-number modified Yang-Baxter equations. We also describe how to obtain classical observables by imposing reasonable boundaries conditions. Member...

A new integrable nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation is introduced. It possesses a Lax pair and an infinite number of conservation laws and is PT symmetric. The inverse scattering transform and scattering data with suitable symmetries are discussed. A method to find pure soliton solutions is given. An explicit breathing one soliton solution is found. Key properties are discussed and contras...

In this paper, based on a Lax pair of the Riccati form for the general KdV equation, a new auto-Bäcklund transformation (ABT) is presented. As an application of this ABT, since only integration is needed, a series of explicit and exact solutions can be obtained which contain soliton-like solutions. This approach is important for finding more new and physically significant exact solutions of non...
