Abstract

The possible solitary wave solutions for a general Boussinesq (GBQ) type fluid model are studied analytically. After proving the non-Painlevé integrability of the model, the first type of exact explicit travelling solitary wave with a special velocity selection is found by the truncated Painlevé expansion. The general solitary waves with different travelling velocities can be studied by casting the problems to the Newtonian quasi-particles moving in some proper one dimensional potential fields. For some special velocity selections, the solitary waves possess different shapes, say, the left moving solitary waves may possess different shapes and/or amplitudes with those of the right moving solitons. For some other velocities, the solitary waves are completely prohibited. There are three types of GBQ systems (GBQSs) according to the different selections of the model parameters. For the first type of GBQS, both the faster moving and lower moving solitary waves allowed but the solitary waves with"middle" velocities are prohibit. For the second type of GBQS all the slower moving solitary waves are completely prohibit while for the third type of GBQS only the slower moving solitary waves are allowed.

Geometric, algebraic and analytic properties of $\mathrm{al}_{ab}$ function for hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$

In this paper, we investigate the geometric, algebraic and analytic properties of the hyperelliptic $\mathrm{al}_{ab}$ functions of a hyperelliptic curve $X$ with genus $g$ as the $\mathrm{al}_{ab}$ functions together with the $\mathrm{al}_a$ functions are a generalization of the Jacobi elliptic $\mathrm{sn}$, $\mathrm{cn}$, and $\mathrm{dn}$ functions. We then demonstrate the differential identities of the $\mathrm{al}_{ab}$ function. These identities are novel integrable partial nonlinear differential equations as an extension of the differential identities in terms of the $\mathrm{al}_a$ function known as the hyperelliptic solutions of the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation. Thus, we also show that by the identities, the $\mathrm{al}_{ab}$ function is useful for expressing hyperelliptic solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger and complex modified Korteweg-de Vries equations in an explicit form as an extension of the elliptic $\mathrm{sn}$ function solutions.

Equations of state of hydrodynamic type and particle statistics of a Dyson gas in an analytic confining potential

We investigate the equilibrium thermodynamics of a Dyson gas in connection with a set of integrable statistical mechanical observables satisfying the Toda Lattice hierarchy. We prove that in the thermodynamic limit, the integrable observables are state functions satisfying a set algebraic equations of state in closed form, obtained from direct integration of the Toda Lattice hierarchy in the continuum limit. We then explore the connection between regularity and critical behaviour of the state functions and the Dyson gas particle statistics via Monte Carlo simulations. We show that the properties of the integrable observables, such as regularity, multivaluedness, cusp singularities, carry information on the macroscopic particle statistics and its qualitative changes but with some limitations.

The Nakamura Conjecture Revisited: Toda Molecules and Stationary Axisymmetric Gravity

We revisit the Nakamura conjecture, which relates the Tomimatsu-Sato solutions of stationary axisymmetric gravity to finite Toda molecules. While the conjecture has been established partially, its general rotating sector remains an open problem. We show that the Toda determinants underlying the conjecture possess a natural weight grading. In particular, the two functions entering the Ernst potential have weights n^2 and n^2-1, and this grading extends systematically to shifted determinants labelled by partitions. In coordinates adapted to the Toda generators, each differentiation corresponds to adding one box to the associated Young diagram and increases the weight by one. The same integer n^2 also appears in the zero-order term of the Nakamura bilinear operator, revealing a compatibility between the differential equation and the determinant grading. The partition structure further explains the previously unresolved behavior of second derivatives. Repeated differentiation in one direction produces an internal sector and an external sector requiring only a one-step extension of the Wronskian hierarchy; the latter is reduced by a local three-term Pluecker relation. Thus weight grading, Young-diagram growth, Wronskian enlargement, and Pluecker reduction emerge as parts of a single determinant structure. The unit weight relation n^2 = (n^2-1) + 1 also singles out the elementary Toda seed as a natural third object, suggesting a possible route toward a genuine trilinear formulation. Although no trilinear closure is assumed here, the present construction reduces the remaining general-n Nakamura problem to definite determinant-minor identities and provides a structural framework in which such a formulation can be investigated.
