Solutions of Certain Types of Linear and Nonlinear Diffusion-Reaction Equations in One Dimension

Abstract

With a view to having further insight into the mathematical content of the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian associaterd with the diffusion-reaction (D-R) equation in one dimension, we investigate (a) the solitary wave solutions of certain types of its nonlinear versions, and (b) the problem of real eigenvalue spectrum associated with its linear version or with this class of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. For the case (a) we use the standard techniques to handle the quadratic and cubic nonlinearities in the D-R equation whereas for the case (b) a newly proposed method, based on an extended complex phase space, is employed. For a particular class of solutions, an Ermakov system of equations is also found for the linear case. Further, corresponding to the 'classical' version of the above one-dimensional complex Hamiltonian, an equivalent integrable system of two, two-dimensional real Hamiltonians is suggested.

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.
