Abstract It is shown that the kinematic equations governing steady motions of an ideal fibre-reinforced fluid in a curved stratum may be expressed entirely in terms of the intrinsic Gauss equation, which assumes the form of a partial differential equation of third order, for the surface representing the stratum. In particular, the approach adopted here leads to natural non-classical orthogonal coordinate systems on surfaces of constant Gaussian curvature with one family of coordinate lines representing the fibres. Integrable cases are isolated by requiring that the Gauss equation be compatible with another third-order hyperbolic differential equation. In particular, a variant of the integrable Tzitz\'eica equation is derived which encodes orthogonal coordinate systems on pseudospherical surfaces. This third-order equation is related to the Tzitz\'eica equation by an analogue of the Miura transformation for the (modified) Korteweg-de Vries equation. Finally, the formalism developed in this paper is illustrated by focussing on the simplest ``fluid sheets'' of constant Gaussian curvature, namely the plane, sphere and pseudosphere.

AbstractGauss' Theorema Egregium produces a partial differential equation which relates the Gaussian curvature K to components of the metric tensor and its derivatives. Well-known partial differential equations (PDEs) such as the Schrödinger equation and the sine-Gordon equation can be derived from Gauss' equation for specific choices of K and coördinate systems. In this paper we consider a class of Bäcklund Transformations which corresponds to coördinate transformations on surfaces with a given Gaussian curvature. These Bäcklund Transformations lead to the construction of solutions to certain classes of non-linear second order PDEs of hyperbolic type by identifying these PDEs as the Gauss equation in some coördinate system. The possibility of solving the Cauchy Problem has also been explored for these classes of equations.

AbstractIn the paper [1], the author formulates in Theorem 2 necessary conditions for integrability of a certain class of Hamiltonian systems with non-constant Gaussian curvature, which depends on local coordinates. We give a counterexample to show that this theorem is not correct in general. This contradiction is explained in some extent. However, the main result of this note is our theorem that gives new simple and easy to check necessary conditions to integrability of the system considered in [1]. We present several examples, which show that the obtained conditions are effective. Moreover, we justify that our criterion can be extended to wider class of systems, which are given by non-meromorphic Hamiltonian functions.

We discuss a third-order differential equation, involving a general form of nonlinearity. We obtain results describing how suitable coefficient functions determine the asymptotic and (non-)oscillatory behavior of solutions. We use comparison technique with first-order differential equations together with the Kusano–Naito’s and Philos’ approaches.

Solutions of quite a few higher-order delay functional differential equations oscillate or converge to zero. In this paper, we obtain several such dichotomous criteria for a class of third-order nonlinear differential equation with impulses.

By applying Green's function of third-order differential equation and a fixed point theorem in cones, we obtain some sufficient conditions for existence, nonexistence, multiplicity, and Lyapunov stability of positive periodic solutions for a third-order neutral differential equation.
