Matrix hierarchies are: multi-component KP, general Zakharov-Shabat (ZS) and its special cases, e.g., AKNS. The ZS comprises all integrable systems having a form of zero-curvature equations with rational dependence of matrices on a spectral…
We study the Lax integrability of a nonlinear system of two coupled second-order evolution equations introduced by Ibragimov and Shabat. For this system we find a zero-curvature representation with an essential parameter, construct an…
It is quite basic in integrable systems to deriving Lax equations from bilinear equations. For multi--component KP theory, corresponding Lax structures are mainly constructed by matrix pseudo-differential operators for fixed discrete…
We consider a general framework for integrable hierarchies in Lax form and derive certain universal equations from which `functional representations' of particular hierarchies (like KP, discrete KP, mKP, AKNS), i.e. formulations in terms of…
It is widely known that the recursion operator is a very important component of integrability. It allows one to describe in a compact form both hierarchies of the generalized symmetries and infinite series of the local conservation laws. In…
We review the integration of the KP hierarchy in several non-standard contexts. Specifically, we consider KP in the following associative differential algebras: an algebra equipped with a nilpotent derivation; an algebra of functions…
In this work we develop a general procedure for constructing the recursion operators fro non-linear integrable equations admitting Lax representation. Svereal new examples are given. In particular we find the recursion operators for some…
We produce a hierarchiy of integrable equations by systematically adding terms to the Lax pair for the lattice modified KdV equation. The equations in the hierarchy are related to one aonother by recursion relations. These recursion…
We consider integrability structures of the generalized Hunter--Saxton equation. In particular, we obtain the Lax representation with nonremovable spectral parameter, find local recursion operators for symmetries and cosymmetries, generate…
Restricting a linear system for the KP hierarchy to those independent variables t\_n with odd n, its compatibility (Zakharov-Shabat conditions) leads to the "odd KP hierarchy". The latter consists of pairs of equations for two dependent…
Several physical applications of Lax equation require its general solution for generic Lax matrices and generic not necessarily diagonalizable initial conditions. In the present paper we complete the analysis started in [arXiv:0903.3771] on…
In this paper, we give a unified construction of the recursion operators from the Lax representation for three integrable hierarchies: Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP), modified Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (mKP) and Harry-Dym under $n$-reduction.…
The Lax-Sato approach to the hierarchies of Manakov-Santini type is formalized in order to extend it to a more general class of integrable systems. For this purpose some linear operators are introduced, which must satisfy some integrability…
A systematic method of constructing manifestly supersymmetric $1+1$-dimensional KP Lax hierarchies is presented. Closed expressions for the Lax operators in terms of superfield eigenfunctions are obtained. All hierarchy equations being…
We present a new approach to construction of recursion operators for multidimensional integrable systems which have a Lax-type representation in terms of a pair of commuting vector fields. It is illustrated by the examples of the…
In this paper we develop tools to study families of non-selfadjoint operators $L(\varphi), \varphi \in P$, characterized by the property that the spectrum of $L(\varphi)$ is (partially) simple. As a case study we consider the…
A pedagogical presentation of integrable models with special reference to the Toda lattice hierarchy has been attempted. The example of the KdV equation has been studied in detail, beginning with the infinite conserved quantities and going…
We present (2+1)-dimensional generalizations of the k-constrained Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (k-cKP) hierarchy and corresponding matrix Lax representations that consist of two integro-differential operators. Additional reductions imposed on the…
A certain generalisation of the hierarchy of mKdV equations (modified KdV), which forms an integrable system, is studied here. This generalisation is based on a Lax operator associated to the equations, with principal components of degrees…
We propose a generalized Riemann-Hilbert-Birkhoff decomposition that expands the standard integrable hierarchy formalism in two fundamental ways: it allows for integer powers of Lax matrix components in the flow equations to be increased as…
