Euler-Poincar´E Equations For G-Strands, Darryl Holm, Rossen Ivanov
Euler-Poincar´E Equations For G-Strands, Darryl Holm, Rossen Ivanov
Conference papers
The G-strand equations for a map R×R into a Lie group G are associated to a G-invariant Lagrangian. The Lie group manifold is also the configuration space for the Lagrangian. The G-strand itself is the map g(t,s):R×R→G, where t and s are the independent variables of the G-strand equations. The Euler-Poincar'e reduction of the variational principle leads to a formulation where the dependent variables of the G-strand equations take values in the corresponding Lie algebra g and its co-algebra, g∗ with respect to the pairing provided by the variational derivatives of the Lagrangian. We review examples of different G-strand …

The G-strand itself is the map g(t,s):R×R→G, where t and s are the independent variables of the G-strand equations. The Euler-Poincare´ reduction of the variational principle leads to a formulation where the dependent variables of the G-strand equations take values in the corresponding Lie algebra g and its co-algebra, g∗ with respect to the pairing provided by the variational derivatives of the Lagrangian.

Zakharov-Shabat System With Constant Boundary Conditions. Reflectionless Potentials And End Point Singularities, Tihomir Valchev, Rossen Ivanov, Vladimir Gerdjikov
Zakharov-Shabat System With Constant Boundary Conditions. Reflectionless Potentials And End Point Singularities, Tihomir Valchev, Rossen Ivanov, Vladimir Gerdjikov
Conference papers
We consider scalar defocusing nonlinear Schroedinger equation with constant boundary conditions. We aim here to provide a self contained pedagogical exposition of the most important facts regarding integrability of that classical evolution equation. It comprises the following topics: direct and inverse scattering problem and the dressing method.
