Nonlinear system of PT-symmetric excitations and Toda vibrations integrable by the Darboux–Bäcklund dressing method

The nonlinear dynamics of coupled P T -symmetric excitations and Toda-like vibrations on a one-dimensional lattice are studied analytically and elucidated graphically. The nonlinear exciton-phonon system as the whole is shown to be integrable in the Lax sense inasmuch as it admits the zero-curvature representation supported by the auxiliary linear problem of third order. Inspired by this fact, we have developed in detail the Darboux–Bäcklund integration technique appropriate to generate a higher-rank crop solution by dressing a lower-rank (supposedly known) seed solution. In the framework of this approach, we have found a rather non-trivial four-component analytical solution exhibiting the crossover between the monopole and dipole regimes in the spatial distribution of intra-site excitations. This effect is inseparable from the pronounced mutual influence between the interacting subsystems in the form of specific nonlinear superposition of two essentially distinct types of travelling waves. We have established the criterion of monopole-dipole transition based upon the interplay between the localization parameter of Toda mode and the inter-subsystem coupling parameter.

Coupled Nonlinear Dynamics in the Three-Mode Integrable System on a Regular Chain

The article suggests the nonlinear lattice system of three dynamical subsystems coupled both in their potential and kinetic parts. Due to its essentially multicomponent structure the system is capable to model nonlinear dynamical excitations on regular quasi-one-dimensional lattices of various physical origins. The system admits a clear Hamiltonian formulation with the standard Poisson structure. The alternative Lagrangian formulation of system’s dynamics is also presented. The set of dynamical equations is integrable in the Lax sense, inasmuch as it possesses a zero-curvature representation. Though the relevant auxiliary linear problem involves a spectral third-order operator, we have managed to develop an appropriate two-fold Darboux–Backlund dressing technique allowing one to generate the nontrivial crop solution embracing all three coupled subsystems in a rather unusual way.

Discrete Hirota's Equation in Quantum Integrable Models

The recent progress in revealing classical integrable structures in quantum models solved by Bethe ansatz is reviewed. Fusion relations for eigenvalues of quantum transfer matrices can be written in the form of classical Hirota's bilinear difference equation. This equation is also known as the completely discretized version of the 2D Toda lattice. We explain how one obtains the specific quantum results by solving the classical equation. The auxiliary linear problem for the Hirota equation is shown to generalize Baxter's T-Q relation.
