Abstract:We show the existence of infinitely many symmetries for *-homogeneous equations when *=0. If the equation has one generalized symmetry, we prove that it has infinitely many and these can be produced by recursion operators. Identifying equations under homogeneous transformations, we find that the only integrable equations in this class are the Potential Burgers, Potential Modified Korteweg de Vries, and Potential Kupershmidt Equations. We can draw some conclusions from these results for the case *=&1 which, alt… Show more
We develop the symbolic representation method to derive the hierarchies of (2+1)-dimensional integrable equations from the scalar Lax operators and to study their properties globally. The method applies to both commutative and noncommutative cases in the sense that the dependent variable takes its values in C or a noncommutative associative algebra. We prove that these hierarchies are indeed quasi-local in the commutative case as conjectured by Mikhailov and Yamilov in 1998, [MY98]. We propose a ring extension based on the symbolic representation. As examples, we give noncommutative versions of KP, mKP and Boussinesq equations.

“…A rigorous proof of the observation "one symmetry implies infinitely many" was established in [22,5] for a wide class of semilinear scalar evolutionary PDEs u t = u nx + f (u, u x , . .…”
Motivated by recent work on integrable flows of curves and 1+1 dimensional sigma models, several O(N )-invariant classes of hyperbolic equations U tx = f (U, U t , U x ) for an N -component vector U (t, x) are considered. In each class we find all scalinghomogeneous equations admitting a higher symmetry of least possible scaling weight. Sigma model interpretations of these equations are presented.
In their seminal paper Undecidability and incompleteness in classical mechanics (Int. J. Theor. Phys. 30:1041-1073, N.C.A. da Costa and F.A. Doria introduced a powerful method for studying the appearance of undecidability and incompleteness in mathematics and theoretical physics. In this work their results are applied to integrability theory. Specifically, it is pointed out that it is not possible to expect the existence of an algorithm able to decide whether a given partial differential equation is integrable or not.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
