This paper has been rendered obsolete by our newer eprint alg-geom/9411005 "Bott's formula and enumerative geometry", which is a considerably expanded version of the same paper, in spite of the change of titles. Please download…
We give integrable quad equations which are multi-quadratic (degree-two) counterparts of the well-known multi-affine (degree-one) equations classified by Adler, Bobenko and Suris (ABS). These multi-quadratic equations define multi-valued…
We present interpretation of known results in the theory of discrete asymptotic and discrete conjugate nets from the "discretization by B\"{a}cklund transformations" point of view. We collect both classical formulas of XIXth century…
Third order nonlinear evolution equations, that is the Korteweg-deVries (KdV), modified Korteweg-deVries (mKdV) equation and other ones are considered: they all are connected via Baecklund transformations. These links can be depicted in a…
We develop an approach for the treatment of one--dimensional bounded quantum--mechanical models by straightforward modification of a successful method for unbounded ones. We apply the new approach to a simple example and show that it…
We use the inverse scattering transform, the auto-Backlund transformation and the steepest descent method of Deift and Zhou to obtain the asymptotic stability of the solitons in the cubic NLS (nonlinear Schrodinger) equation.
We present a geometric construction of Backlund transformations and discretizations for a large class of algebraic completely integrable systems. To be more precise, we construct families of Backlund transformations, which are naturally…
We prove that all nontrivial finite subgroups of derived automorphisms of K3 surfaces of Picard number one have order two and give formulas for the numbers of their conjugacy classes. We also obtain a similar result for the subgroups which…
We consider the algebraic setting of classical defects in discrete and continuous integrable theories. We derive the "equations of motion" on the defect point via the space-like and time-like description. We then exploit the structural…
In trying to provide explicit deformations of quadrics the starting point of our investigation is to use Bianchi's link between real deformations of totally real regions of real paraboloids and various totally real forms of the sine-Gordon…
The prolongation structure of Zhiber-Mikhailov-Shabat (ZMS) equation is studied by using Wahlquist-Estabrook's method. The Lax-pair for ZMS equation and Riccati equations for pseudopotentials are formulated respectively from linear and…
Discrete Lagrangian multiform theory is a variational perspective on lattice equations that are integrable in the sense of multidimensional consistency. The Lagrangian multiforms for the equations of the ABS classification formed the start…
We introduce a parametric coupled KdV system which contains, for particular values of the parameter, the complex extension of the KdV equation and one of the Hirota-Satsuma integrable systems. We obtain a generalized Gardner transformation…
How does one introduce randomness into a classical dynamical system in order to produce something which is related to the `corresponding' quantum system? We consider this question from a probabilistic point of view, in the context of some…
A proper bilinear form is proposed for the N=1 supersymmetric modified Korteweg-de Vries equation. The bilinear B\"{a}cklund transformation of this system is constructed. As applications, some solutions are presented for it.
The B\"acklund transformation and its nonlinear superposition principle are presented for the Krichever-Novikov equation $u_t= u_{xxx} - {3/(2u_x)} (u^2_{xx} - r(u)) + cu_x, r^{(5)}=0$.
A discrete nonlinear system is analysed in case of open chain boundary conditions at the ends. It is shown that the integrability of the system remains intact, by obtaining a modified set of Lax equations which automatically take care of…
We investigate basic features of Bianchi's B\"acklund transformation of quadrics to see if it can be obtained under weaker assumptions and if it can be generalized to deformations of other surfaces.
The integrability of the ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric modified Korteweg de-Vries (smKdV) hierarchy in the presence of defects is investigated through the construction of its super B\"acklund transformation. The construction of such…
The classical Talbot method for the computation of the inverse Laplace transform is improved for the case where the transform is analytic in the complex plane except for the negative real axis. First, by using a truncated Talbot contour…
