Abstract

Addressing the optical communication systems employing the nonlinear Fourier transform (NFT) for the data modulation/demodulation, we provide an explicit proof for the properties of the signals emerging in the so-called b-modulation method, the nonlinear signal modulation technique that provides explicit control over the signal extent. We present details of the procedure and related rigorous mathematical proofs addressing the case where the time-domain profile corresponding to the b-modulated data has a limited duration, and when the bound states corresponding to specifically chosen discrete solitonic eigenvalues and norming constants, are also present. We also prove that the number of solitary modes that we can embed without violating the exact localisation of the time-domain profile, is actually infinite. Our theoretical findings are illustrated with numerical examples, where simple example waveforms are used for the $b$-coefficient, demonstrating the validity of the developed approach. We also demonstrate the influence of the bound states on the noise tolerance of the b-modulated system.

Finite dimensional reductions of integrable differential-difference equations

Integrable partial differential equations, such as the Korteweg--De Vries (KdV) equation, admit infinite hierarchies of commuting higher symmetries. Their symmetry reductions give rise to integrable finite-dimensional dynamical systems solvable in terms of Abelian functions. This underlies the finite-gap integration method for the KdV equation, introduced by S.P. Novikov and subsequently extended to many other integrable systems. In this paper, I introduce the concept of reduction ideals and a new class of reductions for integrable differential--difference equations, leading to integrable finite-dimensional systems in both commutative and noncommutative settings. This class includes periodic reductions, symmetry reductions, and a broad family of other reductions defined in terms of the associated Lax operator. The reduction constraints define integrable maps that enable solutions of the reduced systems to be extended to solutions of the corresponding differential-difference equations. The construction is illustrated using the Volterra hierarchy.

On the autonomisation of differential equations I: Sundman transformations for Painlevé equations I-IV

We consider the application of Sundman transformations to the first four Painlevé equations $P_I$-$P_{IV}$, with $P_V$ and $P_{VI}$ being left for future work. Since the Painlevé equations are nonautonomous, this requires first of all the construction of an equivalent autonomous system, a process which we discuss in detail, and which we characterize as being inverse to the use of Lie symmetries to obtain a reduction of order of an autonomous system. Secondly, we apply a Sundman transformation to this autonomous system, and identify the resulting equation with a corresponding nonautonomous equation. We give an explicit mapping between solutions of this nonautonomous equation and the original Painlevé equation. Interesting special cases of the nonautonomous equation found by Sundman transformation include, for $P_{II}$, an equation with coefficients expressed via Airy functions, and for $P_{IV}$, an equation with coefficients expressed via Weber-Hermite functions. We also discuss an alternative autonomisation process. Finally, a variety of possible directions for future work are identified, along with interesting open problems.

Integral Representations for Solutions of the Linearized Fourth Painleve Equation

We formulate the linearization of the fourth Painlevé equation as a linearized Hamiltonian system and transform the scalar variational equation to normal form, with the first-derivative term eliminated. From the canonical fundamental solutions of the Jimbo--Miwa Lax pair, we construct quadratic expressions $Q_{IV}$ and $R_{IV}$ that satisfy the identity $\partial_x^2Q_{IV}-U_{IV}Q_{IV}=\partial_λR_{IV}$. Here $U_{IV}$ is the coefficient in the normal-form equation. A rapid-decay cycle with a vanishing boundary term yields an integral solution of the linearized equation. Every nontrivial such cycle has asymptotic branches in at least two distinct Stokes sectors; otherwise the integral vanishes by Cauchy's theorem. A second rapid-decay homology class gives another integral solution. The Wronskian of the two integral solutions depends holomorphically on the monodromy data, so a single nonzero value implies generic linear independence. For one set of complex data, direct quadrature gives numerical evidence of a nonzero Wronskian. We also derive integral formulas for variations of the Stokes multipliers, the connection matrix, and the local monodromy, and verify the contour representation by substitution into the linearized equation.
