The main purpose of this paper is to extend results, which have been obtained previously to describe the classical scattering of solitons with integrable defects of type I, to include the much larger and intricate collection of finite-gap…
We show that certain field theory models, although non-integrable according to the usual definition of integrability, share some of the features of integrable theories for certain configurations. Here we discuss our attempt to define a…
Multisoliton solutions of the KdV equation satisfy nonlinear ordinary differential equations which are known as stationary equations for the KdV hierarchy, or sometimes as Lax-Novikov equations. An interesting feature of these equations,…
An "exact discretization" of the Schroedinger operator is considered and its direct and inverse scattering problems are solved. It is shown that a differential-difference nonlinear evolution equation depending on two arbitrary constants can…
We establish a relation between the classical non-linear Schr\"odinger equation and the KP hierarchy, and we extend this relation to the quantum case by defining a quantum KP hierarchy. We present evidence that an integrable hierarchy of…
The coupled KdV-mKdV system arises as the classical part of one of superextensions of the KdV equation. For this system, we prove its complete integrability, i.e., existence of a recursion operator and of infinite series of symmetries.
The integrability problem consists in finding the class of functions a first integral of a given planar polynomial differential system must belong to. We recall the characterization of systems which admit an elementary or Liouvillian first…
For spectral problems, determined by ordinary differential equations, we consider finite-gap potentials as exact solvable by quadratures in the spirit of the Picard--Vessio theory and suggest that this class is the only one. Ideology goes…
We are concerned with the Cauchy problem for the KdV equation for nonsmooth locally integrable initial profiles q's which are, in a certain sense, essentially bounded from below and q(x)=O(e^{-cx^{{\epsilon}}}),x\rightarrow+\infty, with…
We define bi-infinite versions of four well-studied discrete integrable models, namely the ultra-discrete KdV equation, the discrete KdV equation, the ultra-discrete Toda equation, and the discrete Toda equation. For each equation, we show…
We give a somewhat informal introduction to the integrable systems approach to the Schottky problem, explaining how the theta functions of Jacobians can be used to provide solutions of the KP equation, and culminating with the exposition of…
We discuss the relation between Liouville theory and the Hitchin integrable system, which can be seen in two ways as a two step process involving quantization and hyperkaehler rotation. The modular duality of Liouville theory and the…
We investigate the integrability of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (NPDEs). The concepts are developed by firstly discussing the integrability of the KdV equation. We proceed by generalizing the ideas introduced for the KdV…
We notice an analogy between the motion of a relativistic particle with external homogeneous and time-dependent electromagnetic fields and the Dik'ii-Eilenberger equation for the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation. By means of the integrable…
We review spectral theory of soliton gases in integrable dispersive hydrodynamic systems. We first present a phenomenological approach based on the consideration of phase shifts in pairwise soliton collisions and leading to the kinetic…
Integrable mixed models have been used as a generalization of traditional integrable models. However, a map from a traditional integrable model to a mixed integrable model is not well understood yet. Here, it is studied the relation between…
An approach to infinite dimensional integration which unifies the case of oscillatory integrals and the case of probabilistic type integrals is presented. It provides a truly infinite dimensional construction of integrals as linear…
Multicomponent KdV-systems are defined in terms of a set of structure constants and, as shown by Svinolupov, if these define a Jordan algebra the corresponding equations may be said to be integrable, at least in the sense of having…
We construct a definition of the weak solution to KdV type equations with small dispersion admitting the zero dispersion limit for soliton-like solutions. Using this definition, we obtain a system of equations (the limit problem as the…
A theory for constructing integrable couplings of soliton equations is developed by using various perturbations around solutions of perturbed soliton equations being analytic with respect to a small perturbation parameter. Multi-scale…
