Another form of the discrete mKdV hierarchy with self-consistent sources is given in the paper. The self-consistent sources are presented only by the eigenfunctions corresponding to the reduction of the Ablowitz-Ladik spectral problem. The exact soliton solutions are also derived by the inverse scattering transform.

Exact Solutions of Ablowitz-Ladik Hierarchy with Self-Consistent Sources Revisited and Reductions

In the paper, Ablowitz-Ladik hierarchy with new self-consistent sources is investigated. First the source in the hierarchy is described as φ_nφ_n+1, where φ_n is related to the Ablowitz-Ladik spectral problem, instead of the corresponding adjoint spectral problem. Then by means of the inverse scattering transform, the multi-soliton solutions for the hierarchy are obtained. Two reductions to the discrete mKdV and nonlinear Schrödinger hierarchies with self-consistent sources are considered by using the uniqueness of the Jost functions, as well as their N-soliton solutions.     

Coupled Modified Korteweg-de Vries Lattice in (2+1) Dimensions and Soliton Solutions

The coupled semi-discrete modified Korteweg-de Vries equation in (2 1)-dimensions is proposed. It is shown that it can be decomposed into two (1 1)-dimensional differential-difference equations belonging to mKdV lattice hierarchy by considering a discrete isospectral problem. A Darboux transformation is set up for the resulting (2 1)- dimensional lattice soliton equation with the help of gauge transformations of Lax pairs. As an illustration by example,the soliton solutions of the mKdV lattice equation in (2 1)-dimensions are explicitly given.     

On Coupled KdV Equations with Self-consistent Sources

The coupled Korteweg-de Vries （CKdV） equation with self-consistent sources （CKdVESCS） and its Lax representation are derived. We present a generalized binary Darboux transformation （GBDT） with an arbitrary time- dependent function for the CKdVESCS as well as the formula for the N-times repeated GBDT. This GBDT provides non-auto-Biicklund transformation between two CKdVESCSs with different degrees of sources and enables us to construct more generM solutions with N arbitrary t-dependent functions. We obtain positon, negaton, complexiton, and negaton- positon solutions of the CKdVESCS.     

THE TRANSFORMATION BETWEEN THE AKNS HIERARCHY AND THE KN HIERARCHY WITH SELF-CONSISTENT SOURCES

It is shown that the AKNS hierarchy with self-consistent sources can transform to KN hierarchy with self-consistent sources through a transformation operator and gauge transformation. Besides, there exists transformation in their conservation laws and Hamiltonian structures.     

Dynamics of the smooth positons of the complex modified KdV equation

We provide the explicit formulae of the smooth positon solutions of the complex modified KdV (mKdV) equation using degenerate Darboux transformation with respect to the eigenvalues. The dynamics of the smooth positons of the complex mKdV are discussed in details using the method, i.e. decomposition of the modulus square. For this kind solution, we show explicitly the decomposition, bent trajectory and variable ‘phase shift’ after collision, which are remarkably different from the singular positons of the real-valued mKdV equation.     

Self-Consistent Sources for Integrable Equations Via Deformations of Binary Darboux Transformations

We reveal the origin and structure of self-consistent source extensions of integrable equations from the perspective of binary Darboux transformations. They arise via a deformation of the potential that is central in this method. As examples, we obtain in particular matrix versions of self-consistent source extensions of the KdV, Boussinesq, sine-Gordon, nonlinear Schrödinger, KP, Davey–Stewartson, two-dimensional Toda lattice and discrete KP equation. We also recover a (2+1)-dimensional version of the Yajima–Oikawa system from a deformation of the pKP hierarchy. By construction, these systems are accompanied by a hetero binary Darboux transformation, which generates solutions of such a system from a solution of the source-free system and additionally solutions of an associated linear system and its adjoint. The essence of all this is encoded in universal equations in the framework of bidifferential calculus.     

Darboux transformation for the non-isospectral AKNS hierarchy and its asymptotic property

In this Letter, the Darboux transformation for the non-isospectral AKNS hierarchy is constructed. We show that the Darboux transformation for the non-isospectral AKNS hierarchy is not an auto-Bäcklund transformation, because the integral constants of the hierarchy will be changed after the transformation. The transform rule of the integral constants will be also derived. By this means, the soliton solutions of the nonlinear equations derived by the non-isospectral AKNS hierarchy can be found.

On the Geometry of Darboux Transformations for the KP Hierarchy and its Connection with the Discrete KP Hierarchy

We tackle the problem of interpreting the Darboux transformation for the KP hierarchy and its relations with the modified KP hierarchy from a geometric point of view. This is achieved by introducing the concept of a Darboux covering. We construct a Darboux covering of the KP equations and obtain a new hierarchy of equations, which we call the Darboux-KP hierarchy (DKP). We employ the DKP equations to discuss the relationships among the KP equations, the modified KP equations, and the discrete KP equations. Our approach also handles the various reductions of the KP hierarchy. We show that the KP hierarchy is a projection of the DKP, the mKP hierarchy is a DKP restriction to a suitable invariant submanifold, and that the discrete KP equations are obtained as iterations of the DKP ones.

A New Negative Discrete Hierarchy and Its N-Fold Darboux Transformation

Starting from a matrix discrete spectral problem, we derive a negative discrete hierarchy. It is shown that the hierarchy is integrable in the Liouville sense and possesses a bi-Hamiltonian structure. Furthermore, its N-fold Darboux transformation is established with the help of gauge transformation of Lax pair. As an application of the Darboux transformation, some new exact solutions for a discrete equation in the negative hierarchy are obtained.     

New Dark Soliton Solutions of the KdV Equation

By using the Miura transformation, from the dark soliton solutions of the mKdV equdation which are found recently by Darboux transformations, a series of new dark soliton solutions of the KdV equation is obtained.     

A differential-difference hierarchy associated with relativistic Toda and Volterra hierarchies

By embedding a free function into a compatible zero curvature equation, we enlarge the original differential-difference hierarchy into a new hierarchy with the free function which still admits zero curvature representation. The new hierarchy not only includes the original hierarchy, but also the well-known relativistic Toda hierarchy and the Volterra hierarchy as special reductions by properly choosing the free function. Infinitely many conservation laws and Darboux transformation for a representative differential-difference system are constructed based on its Lax representation. The exact solutions follow by applying the Darboux transformation.

The modified Korteweg-de Vries （mKdV） typed equations can be used to describe certain nonlinear phenomena in fluids, plasmas, and optics. In this paper, the discretized mKdV lattice equation is investigated. With the aid of symbolic computation, the discrete matrix spectral problem for that system is constructed. Darboux transformation for that system is established based on the resulting spectral problem. Explicit solutions are derived via the Darboux transformation. Structures of those solutions are shown graphically, which might be helpful to understand some physical processes in fluids, plasmas, and optics.
