On exact solutions of fractional differential-difference equations with Ψ-Riemann–Liouville derivative

The aim of this work is to modify the invariant subspace method (ISM) in order to obtain closed form solutions of fractional differential-difference equations with Ψ-Riemann–Liouville (Ψ-RL) fractional derivative for first time. We have investigated the cases of two-dimensional and the three-dimensional invariant subspaces (ISs) in the suggested scheme. Using the modified ISM, new exact generalized solutions for the general fractional mKdV Lattice equation and the fractional Volterra lattice system are obtained. Compared with similar solution techniques in literature, the presented solution scheme is highly efficient and is capable to find new general exact solutions which cannot be attained by other methods.

New type of source extension for a two-dimensional special lattice equation and determinant solutions

We present a new type of two-dimensional special lattice equations with self-consistent sources using the source generation procedure. Then we obtain the Grammy-type and Casorati-type determinant solutions of the coupled system. Further, we present the one-soliton and two-soliton solutions.

Tropical limit of matrix solitons and entwining Yang–Baxter maps

We consider a matrix refactorization problem, i.e., a “Lax representation,” for the Yang–Baxter map that originated as the map of polarizations from the “pure” 2-soliton solution of a matrix KP equation. Using the Lax matrix and its inverse, a related refactorization problem determines another map, which is not a solution of the Yang–Baxter equation, but satisfies a mixed version of the Yang–Baxter equation together with the Yang–Baxter map. Such maps have been called “entwining Yang–Baxter maps” in recent work. In fact, the map of polarizations obtained from a pure 2-soliton solution of a matrix KP equation, and already for the matrix KdV reduction, is not in general a Yang–Baxter map, but it is described by one of the two maps or their inverses. We clarify why the weaker version of the Yang–Baxter equation holds, by exploring the pure 3-soliton solution in the “tropical limit,” where the 3-soliton interaction decomposes into 2-soliton interactions. Here, this is elaborated for pure soliton solutions, generated via a binary Darboux transformation, of matrix generalizations of the two-dimensional Toda lattice equation, where we meet the same entwining Yang–Baxter maps as in the KP case, indicating a kind of universality.
