Smooth multisoliton solutions and their peakon limit of Novikov's Camassa-Holm type equation with cubic nonlinearity

Abstract

We consider Novikov's Camassa-Holm type equation with cubic nonlinearity. In particular, we present a compact parametric representation of the smooth bright multisolution solutions on a constant background and investigate their structure. We find that the tau-functions associated with the solutions are closely related to those of a model equation for shallow-water waves (SWW) introduced by Hirota and Satsuma. This novel feature is established by applying the reciprocal transformation to the Novikov equation. We also show by specifying a complex phase parameter that the smooth soliton is converted to a novel singular soliton with single cusp and double peaks. We demonstrate that both the smooth and singular solitons converge to a peakon as the background field tends to zero whereby we employ a method that has been developed for performing the similar limiting procedure for the multisoliton solutions of the Camassa-Holm equation. In the subsequent asymptotic analysis of the two- and $N$-soliton solutions, we confirm their solitonic behaviour. Remarkably, the formulas for the phase shifts of solitons as well as their peakon limits coincide formally with those of the Degasperis-Procesi equation. Last, we derive an infinite number of conservation laws of the Novikov equation by using a relation between solutions of the Novikov equation and those of the SWW equation. In appendix, we prove various bilinear identities associated with the tau-functions of the multisoliton solutions of the SWW equation.

On vector Schwarz-KdV equation

A collection of miscellaneous continuous, semi-discrete, and discrete integrable systems can be associated with each integrable evolution equation of the KdV type. We give them for the Schwarz--KdV equation and generalize to the vector case. The existence of these vector generalizations is a non-trivial experimental fact for which no mathematical explanation is yet known.

An integrable $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded extension of Camassa-Holm equation and its bi-Hamiltonian structure

By constructing Lax operators in the loop algebra of the $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded extension of the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$, we derive a $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded extension of the Camassa-Holm equation. The resulting equation is an integrable nonlinear PDE for a system of four $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded commutative functions, each associated with a distinct $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-degree. We further show that the $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-Camassa-Holm equation admits a bi-Hamiltonian structure. As a consequence, it possesses infinitely many conserved quantities, including one with non-trivial $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-degree, which are mutually in involution with respect to the $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded Poisson brackets.

Integrability of the deformed Toda systems

In 2020 M. Mucciconi and L. Petrov introduced a long-range deformation of the quantum open non-relativistic Toda system. We prove the integrability of the deformed Toda system by constructing a $2 \times 2$ Lax operator, which produces the commutative family of differential operators containing the Hamiltonian of the deformed Toda system. Moreover, we show that the same integrable deformation exists on both classical and quantum levels and can be applied to both non-relativistic and relativistic Toda systems. For the open non-relativistic deformed Toda systems we also present an $n \times n$ Lax matrix and prove that it produces the same family of Hamiltonians. We also show how to obtain the van Diejen-type deformed Toda system. Lastly, we show that on the quantum level the algebraic Bethe ansatz technique can be applied to the deformed Toda system.
