Inverse Scattering Transform For The Camassa-Holm Equation, Adrian Constantin, Vladimir Gerdjikov, Rossen Ivanov Jan 2006

Inverse Scattering Transform For The Camassa-Holm Equation, Adrian Constantin, Vladimir Gerdjikov, Rossen Ivanov

Articles

An Inverse Scattering Method is developed for the Camassa-Holm equation. As an illustration of our approach the solutions corresponding to the reflectionless potentials are constructed in terms of the scattering data. The main difference with respect to the standard Inverse Scattering Transform lies in the fact that we have a weighted spectral problem. We therefore have to develop different asymptotic expansions.


Poisson Structure And Action-Angle Variables For The Camassa-Holm Equation, Adrian Constantin, Rossen Ivanov Jan 2006

Poisson Structure And Action-Angle Variables For The Camassa-Holm Equation, Adrian Constantin, Rossen Ivanov

Articles

The Poisson brackets for the scattering data of the Camassa-Holm equation are computed. Consequently, the action-angle variables are expressed in terms of the scattering data.


Extended Camassa-Holm Hierarchy And Conserved Quantities, Rossen Ivanov Jan 2006

Extended Camassa-Holm Hierarchy And Conserved Quantities, Rossen Ivanov

Articles

An extension of the Camassa-Holm hierarchy is constructed in this letter. The conserved quantities of the hierarchy are studied and a recurrent formula for the integrals of motion is derived.


The Asymptotics Of Neutral Curve Crossing In Taylor–Dean Flow, C. P. Hills, A. P. Bassom Jan 2006

The Asymptotics Of Neutral Curve Crossing In Taylor–Dean Flow, C. P. Hills, A. P. Bassom

Articles

The fluid flow between a pair of coaxial circular cylinders generated by the uniform rotation of the inner cylinder and an azimuthal pressure gradient is susceptible to both Taylor and Dean type instabilities. The flow can be characterised by two parameters: a measure of the relative magnitude of the rotation and pressure effects and a non-dimensional Taylor number. This work considers the small gap, large wavenumber limit for linear perturbations when the onset of the Taylor and Dean instabilities is concurrent. A consistent, matched asymptotic solution is found across the whole annular domain and identifies five regions of interest: two …


Hamiltonian Formulation And Integrability Of A Complex Symmetric Nonlinear System, Rossen Ivanov Jan 2006

Hamiltonian Formulation And Integrability Of A Complex Symmetric Nonlinear System, Rossen Ivanov

Articles

The integrability of a complex generalisation of the ’elegant’ system, proposed by D. Fairlie and its relation to the Nahm equation and the Manakov top is discussed.
