We propose a multi-component generalization of the modified short pulse (SP) equation which was derived recently as a reduction of Feng's two-component SP equation. Above all, we address the two-component system in depth. We obtain the Lax pair, an infinite nember of conservation laws and multisoliton solutions for the system, demonstrating its integrability. Subsequently, we show that the two-component system exhibits cusp solitons and breathers for which the detailed analysis is performed. Specifically, we explore the interaction process of two cusp solitons and derive the formula for the phase shift. While cusp solitons are singular solutions, smooth breather solutions are shown to exist, provided that the parameters characterizing the solutions satisfy certain condition. Last, we discuss the relation between the proposed system and existing two-component SP equations.
The (3+1)-dimensional dispersionless integrable hierarchy and nonlinear Riemann-Hilbert problem associated with the Doubrov-Ferapontov modified heavenly equation
In a recent paper [TMP, 200:1 (2019), 966--984] by the authors, a series of integrable discrete autonomous equations on a square lattice with a non-standard structure of generalized symmetries is constructed. We build modified series by using discrete non-point transformations. We use both non-invertible linearizable transformations and non-point transformations invertible on solutions of the discrete equation. As a result, we get several series of new examples of discrete equations along with their generalized symmetries and master symmetries. The generalized symmetries constructed give new i…
In this paper, we investigate the long-time asymptotic behavior of the solution to the initial value problem for the modified Camassa-Holm (mCH) equation with cubic nonlinearity. The equation is known to be integrable, which we mean it admits an Lax pair. We formulate the initial value problem as an associate vector Riemann-Hilbert problem, which allows us to give a parametric representation of the solution to the initial value problem in terms of the solution of the Riemann-Hilbert problem. And then by adopting the nonlinear steepest descent method, we can get the explicit leading order asymp…
In this paper, we provide the geometric formulation to the two-component Camassa-Holm equation (2-mCHE). We also study the relation between the 2-mCHE and the M-CV equation. We have shown that these equations arise from the invariant space curve flows in three-dimensional Euclidean geometry. Using this approach we have established the geometrical equivalence between the 2-mCHE and the M-CV equation. The gauge equivalence between these equations is also considered.
In the present paper, we are concerned with integrable discretization of a modified Camassa-Holm equation with linear dispersion term. The key of the construction is the semi-discrete analogue for a set of bilinear equations of the modified Camassa-Holm equation. Firstly, we show that these bilinear equations and their determinant solutions either in Gram-type or Casorati-type can be reduced from the discrete KP equation through Miwa transformation. Then, by scrutinizing the reduction process, we obtain a set of semi-discrete bilinear equations and their general soliton solution in Gram-type o…
In this paper we present a reduction technique based on bilinearization and double Wronskians (or double Casoratians) to obtain explicit multi-soliton solutions for the integrable space-time shifted nonlocal equations introduced very recently by Ablowitz and Musslimani in [Phys. Lett. A, 2021]. Examples include the space-time shifted nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger and modified Korteweg-de Vries hierarchies and the semi-discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation. It is shown that these nonlocal integrable equations with or without space-time shift(s) reduction share same distributions of eigenvalu…
The inverse scattering transform allows explicit construction of solutions to many physically significant nonlinear wave equations. Notably, this method can be extended to fractional nonlinear evolution equations characterized by anomalous dispersion using completeness of suitable eigenfunctions of the associated linear scattering problem. In anomalous diffusion, the mean squared displacement is proportional to $t^α$, $α>0$, while in anomalous dispersion, the speed of localized waves is proportional to $A^α$, where $A$ is the amplitude of the wave. Fractional extensions of the modified Kortewe…
In this paper, symmetry analysis is extended to study nonlocal differential equations, in particular two integrable nonlocal equations, the nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the nonlocal modified Korteweg--de Vries equation. Lie point symmetries are obtained based on a general theory and used to reduce these equations to nonlocal and local ordinary differential equations separately; namely one symmetry may allow reductions to both nonlocal and local equations depending on how the invariant variables are chosen. For the nonlocal modified Korteweg--de Vries equation, analogously to the…
