AI 中文摘要
我们研究了受楔型初始条件约束的二维Toda晶格中色散激波（DSW）的形成与相互作用，表明其相互作用会产生离散系统中色散激波的马赫反射离散类似物。楔的每条边的初始跃变局部充当一维Toda晶格的黎曼问题，产生两条斜向DSW，其前沿孤子振幅由一维Whitham调制理论明确确定。当这些斜向DSW沿对称轴相遇时，问题的二维性质显现出来。我们表明，对于压缩楔（即初始条件使产生的两条斜向DSW相互传播），临界斜率q_cr将两种状态分开：亚临界状态（q<q_cr）下相互作用是共振的，会产生膨胀的DSW，其振幅、长度和速度通过二维Toda晶格的精确孤子解明确计算；超临界状态（q>q_cr）下相互作用是常规的，会产生局域峰，其振幅由解析确定。我们还定性表明，对于膨胀楔（即初始条件使两条斜向DSW相互远离），两种状态间存在类似二分性。我们通过与直接数值模拟结果对比验证了所有解析预测，最后表明结果的连续极限与Kadomtsev-Petviashvili方程的类似理论一致，为解析框架提供了独立验证。
英文摘要
We study the formation and interaction of dispersive shock waves (DSWs) in the two-dimensional Toda lattice subject to wedge-type initial conditions, and show that their interaction gives rise to a discrete analog of Mach reflection for dispersive shock waves in discrete systems. The initial jump across each leg of the wedge acts locally as a Riemann problem for the one-dimensional Toda lattice, producing two oblique DSWs whose leading-edge soliton amplitude is determined explicitly by the one-dimensional Whitham modulation theory. The two-dimensional nature of the problem manifests when these oblique DSWs meet along the symmetry axis. We show that, for compressive wedges (i.e., when the initial conditions are such that two oblique DSWs that are generated propagate toward each other), a critical slope $q_{\mathrm{cr}}$ separates two regimes: in the subcritical regime ($q<q_{\mathrm{cr}}$) the interaction is resonant and it produces an expanding DSW whose amplitude, length and velocity are explicitly computed by using exact soliton solutions of the two-dimensional Toda lattice; in the supercritical regime ($q>q_{\mathrm{cr}}$) the interaction is ordinary and produces a localized peak whose amplitude is determined analytically. We also show qualitatively that a similar dichotomy between two regimes exists for expansive wedges (i.e., when the initial conditions are such that the two oblique DSWs propagate away from each other). We confirm all analytical predictions by comparing them with the results of direct numerical simulations. Finally, we show that the continuum limit of the result is consistent with the analogous theory for the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation, providing an independent validation of the analytical framework.
