Abstract

In this paper we investigate integrable models from the perspective of information theory, exhibiting various connections. We begin by showing that compressible hydrodynamics for a one-dimesional isentropic fluid, with an appropriately motivated information theoretic extension, is described by a general nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation. Depending on the choice of the enthalpy function, one obtains the cubic NLS or other modified NLS equations that have applications in various fields. Next, by considering the integrable hierarchy associated with the NLS model, we propose higher order information measures which include the Fisher measure as their first member. The lowest members of the hiearchy are shown to be included in the expansion of a regularized Kullback-Leibler measure while, on the other hand, a suitable combination of the NLS hierarchy leads to a Wootters type measure related to a NLS equation with a relativistic dispersion relation. Finally, through our approach, we are led to construct an integrable semi-relativistic NLS equation.

Multivariable Painleve'-II equation: connection formulas for arbitrary system size

Connection formulas for the asymptotic solutions of a system of n> 1 coupled Painleve'-II equations with symmetry-breaking parameters are written explicitly. An asymptotically exact WKB approach to these formulas relies on the quantum-mechanical independent crossing approximation for an explicitly time-dependent Schroedinger equation.

Several results on the almost good reduction property to the $q$-discrete Painlevé equations over the field of $p$-adic numbers

We report on the recent results in the theory of discrete integrable equations reduced modulo a prime number $p$ based on the previous results. This article mainly concerns the $q$-discrete analogues of the Painlevé equations. We first give a quick review of the idea of `almost good reduction', which is a property that most integrable systems over a finite field $F_p$ possess when reduced from those defined over the field of $p$-adic numbers $Q_p$. This idea has been introduced in our previous papers and the discrete and q-discrete Painlevé II equations have been proved to have `almost good reduction', which can be interpreted as an arithmetic analogue of the singularity confinement test. In this article we prove that this property holds for several other $q$-discrete Painlevé equations. The theory of Diophantine integrability is reviewed and its relation to the integrability detection by the algebraic entropy is discussed.

Stationary reduction method based on nonisospectral deformation of orthogonal polynomials, and discrete Painlevé-type equations

In this work, we propose a new approach called ``stationary reduction method based on nonisospectral deformation of orthogonal polynomials" for deriving discrete Painlevé-type (d-P-type) equations. We apply this approach to (bi)orthogonal polynomials satisfying ordinary orthogonality, $(1,m)$-biorthogonality, generalized Laurent biorthogonality, Cauchy biorthogonality and partial-skew orthogonality. As a result, several seemingly novel classes of high order d-P-type equations or integrable difference systems with potential relations with new d-P-type equations, along with their particular solutions and respective Lax pairs, are derived. Notably, the derived integrable difference system related to the Cauchy biorthogonality is a stationary reduction of a nonisospectral generalization involving the first two flows of the Toda hierarchy of CKP type. Additionally, the integrable difference system related to the partial-skew orthogonality is associated with the nonisospectral Toda hierarchy of BKP type, and it is found to admit a solution expressed in terms of Pfaffians.
