A new method to generate non-autonomous discrete integrable systems via convergence acceleration algorithms

In this paper, we propose a new algebraic method to construct non-autonomous discrete integrable systems. The method starts from constructing generalizations of convergence acceleration algorithms related to discrete integrable systems. Then the non-autonomous version of the corresponding integrable systems are derived. The molecule solutions of the systems are also obtained. As an example of the application of the method, we propose a generalization of the multistep ϵ-algorithm, and then derive a non-autonomous discrete extended Lotka–Volterra equation. Since the convergence acceleration algorithm from the lattice Boussinesq equation is just a particular case of the multistep ϵ-algorithm, we have therefore arrived at a generalization of this algorithm. Finally, numerical experiments on the new algorithm are presented.

Couette Flow Profiles for Two Nonclassical Taylor-Couette Cells

Exact solutions for the Couette profile in two nonclassical Taylor-Couette cells are reported. The profiles take the form of eigenfunction expansions, whose convergence rates can be significantly accelerated using a representative convergence acceleration algorithm. Results are thus suitable as initial conditions for high resolution numerical simulations of transition phenomena in these configurations. [S0098-2202(00)02602-X]
