We discuss transformations generated by dynamical quantum systems which are bi-unitary, i.e. unitary with respect to a pair of Hermitian structures on an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space. We introduce the notion of Hermitian…
We show that the KdV6 equation recently studied in [1,2] is equivalent to the Rosochatius deformation of KdV equation with self-consistent sources (RD-KdVESCS) recently presented in [9]. The $t$-type bi-Hamiltonian formalism of KdV6…
Many integrable hierarchies of differential equations allow a variational description, called a Lagrangian multiform or a pluri-Lagrangian structure. The fundamental object in this theory is not a Lagrange function but a differential…
