Backlund Transformations of Soliton Systems from Symmetry Constraints
Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems
2007-05-23 v1
Abstract
Binary symmetry constraints are applied to constructing B\"acklund transformations of soliton systems, both continuous and discrete. Construction of solutions to soliton systems is split into finding solutions to lower-dimensional Liouville integrable systems, which also paves a way for separation of variables and exhibits integrability by quadratures for soliton systems. Illustrative examples are provided for the KdV equation, the AKNS system of nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations, the Toda lattice, and the Langmuir lattice.
