On a "Quasi" Integrable Discrete Eckhaus Equation

M.J. Ablowitz, C.D. Ahrens
Pages: 1 - 12
In this paper, a discrete version of the Eckhaus equation is introduced. The discretiztion is obtained by considering a discrete analog of the transformation taking the cotinuous Eckhaus equation to the continuous linear, free Schrödinger equation. The resulting discrete Eckhaus equation is a nonlinear...

On the Quantization of Yet Another Two Nonlinear Harmonic Oscillators

Francesco Calogero
Pages: 1 - 6
In two previous papers the quantization was discussed of three one-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonians featuring a constant c, the value of which does not influence at all the corresponding classical dynamics (which is characterized by isochronous solutions, all of them periodic with period 2: "nonlinear...

A two cocycle is associated to any action of a Lie group on a symplectic manifold. This allows to enlarge the concept of anomaly in classical dynamical systems considered by F Toppan in [J. Nonlinear Math. Phys. 8, Nr. 3 (2001), 518­533] so as to encompass some extensions of Lie algebras related to noncanonical...

Rossen I. Ivanov
Pages: 1 - 12
The Camassa-Holm (CH) and Hunter-Saxton (HS) equations have an interpretation as geodesic flow equations on the group of diffeomorphisms, preserving the H 1 and H 1 right-invariant metrics correspondingly.
