1 Introduction
The classification problem of Darboux integrable equations has attracted a considerable interest in the recent time, see the survey paper [1] and references there in. There are many classification results in the continuous case. The case of semi-discrete and discrete equations is not that well studied. Discrete models play a big role in many areas of physics and discretization of existing integrable continuous models is an important problem. There is a currently discussed conjecture saying that for each continuous Darboux integrable system it is possible to find a semi-discrete Darboux integrable system that admits the same set of -integrals. To better understand properties of semi-discrete and discrete Darboux integrable systems it is important to have enough examples of such systems. We can test the conjecture and obtain new semi-discrete Darboux integrable systems, corresponding to given continuous ones, following an approach proposed by Habibullin et al., see [2]. In this case we take a Darboux integrable continuous equation and look for a semi-discrete equation admitting the same integrals. The method was successfully applied to many Darboux integrable continuous equations, see [2]-[4]. In almost all considered cases such semi-discrete equations exist and they are Darboux integrable.
In the present paper we apply this method of discretization to Darboux integrable systems to obtain new Darboux integrable semi-discrete systems. Let us give necessary definitions and formulate the main results of our work.
Consider a hyperbolic continuous system
[TABLE]
where , , are functions of continuous variables . We say that a function is an -integral of the system (1) if
[TABLE]
The operator represents the total derivative with respect to . The -integral of the system (1) is defined in a similar way. The system (1) is called Darboux integrable if it admits functionally independent non-trivial -integrals and functionally independent non-trivial -integrals.
Consider a hyperbolic semi-discrete system
[TABLE]
where , , are functions of a continuous variable and a discrete variable . Note that we use notation and , where is the shift operator. To state the Darboux integrability of a semi-discrete system we need to define - and -integrals for such systems, see [5]. An -integral is defined in the same way as in continuous case and a function is an -integral of system (2) if
[TABLE]
The system (2) is called Darboux integrable if it admits functionally independent non-trivial -integrals and functionally independent non-trivial -integrals.
To find new Darboux integrable semi-discrete systems we applied the discretization method proposed in [2] to one of the continuous systems derived by Zhiber, Kostrigina in [6] and continuous systems derived by Shabat, Yamilov in [7]. In [6] the authors considered the classification problem for Darboux integrable continuous systems that admit the - and -integrals of the first and second order. In [7] the authors considered the exponential type system
[TABLE]
It was shown that such a system is Darboux integrable if and only if the matrix is a Cartan matrix of a semi-simple Lie algebra. Such systems are closely related to the classical Toda field theories, see [8]-[10] and references there in. In this case we obtain the Darboux integrable semi-discrete systems that were already described in [11].
First we consider the following system (see [6])
[TABLE]
where is an arbitrary constant. This system is Darboux integrable and admits the following -integrals
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
The - integrals have the same form in variables.
Now we look for semi-discrete systems admitting these functions as -integrals. The obtained results are given in Theorems 1 and 2 below.
Theorem 1
The system
[TABLE]
possessing -integrals (4) and (5), where is a function of satisfying for all , has the form
[TABLE]
Moreover, the system above also possesses -integrals
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Hence, semi-discrete system (7) is Darboux integrable.
Theorem 2
The system (6) possessing -integrals (4) and (5), where is a constant, is either
[TABLE]
with -integrals and , or
[TABLE]
where is defined by equality with
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
and being any smooth function.
Remark 1
We considered some special cases of the system (11) and get Darboux integrable systems.
(I) System (11) with is Darboux Integrable. (The expression for is found from , with .)
(II) System (11) with is Darboux Integrable. (The expression for is found from , with .)
Remark 2
Expansion of the function , given implicitly by , into a series of the form
[TABLE]
where coefficients depend on variables and , yields and . So can be written as
[TABLE]
By letting and and taking one can see that the system (11) has a continuum limit (3).
Let us discuss the exponential type systems. We consider the discretization of such systems corresponding to matrices, namely,
[TABLE]
where . The obtained results are given in Theorem 3 below. The discretization of such systems was also considered in [11], where the form of the corresponding semi-discrete system was directly postulated and then the Darboux integrability proved. In our approach we do not make any specific assumptions about the form of the corresponding semi-discrete system. Note that the integrals corresponding to Darboux integrable exponential systems are given in the statement of Theorem 3.
Theorem 3
(1) The system
[TABLE]
possessing -integrals
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
has the form
[TABLE]
or
[TABLE]
where and are arbitrary constants.
(2) The system (15) possessing -integrals
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
has the form
[TABLE]
where and are arbitrary constants.
(3) The system (15) possessing -integrals
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
has the form
[TABLE]
where and are arbitrary constants.
Remark 3
We note that while considering systems with integrals (20) and (21) we also obtain two degenerate systems
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
where , and are arbitrary constants,which are equivalent to a Darboux integrable equation.
Remark 4
By letting , , , and , in equations (18), (22), (25) and taking one can see that the considered systems have corresponding continuum limit given by (14).
2 Proof of Theorems 1.1 and 1.2
Let us find a semi-discrete system (6) possessing -integrals (4) and (5), where is an arbitrary constant, possibly dependent on . Let . It follows from that
[TABLE]
that is
[TABLE]
Compare the coefficients by and , we get and . Hence
[TABLE]
It follows from that
[TABLE]
Using (29) we obtain
[TABLE]
and find as
[TABLE]
Substituting the expressions (29) and (31) into equality (28) and comparing coefficients by , , and free term we get the following equalities
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
We have two possibilities: and .
2.1 depends on
First we consider the case , that is depends on and satisfies for all . Then equations (33)-(35) are transformed into
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Equations (36) and (38) imply that
[TABLE]
Substituting the above into (37) we get that satisfies
[TABLE]
Differentiating equation (40) with respect to and we get that and respectively. Thus, equation (40) implies that . So in the case we arrive to the system of equations (7). We note that the system (7) is Darboux integrable. It admits two -integrals (4) and (5) and two -integrals (8) and (9). The -integrals can be found by considering the characteristic -ring for system (7).
2.2 does not depend on
Now we consider the case , that is is a constant independent of . Then we have equations (34) and (35). Introducing new variable we can rewrite the equations as
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
The set of solutions of the above system is not empty, for example it admits a solution . Setting we arrive to the system of equations (10). We note that the system (10) is Darboux integrable. It admits two -integrals (4) and (5) and two -integrals
[TABLE]
The -integrals are calculated by considering the characteristic -ring for system (10).
Now let us consider case when identically. For function equations (41) and (42) become
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
After the change of variables , , , , equations (44) and (43) become and
[TABLE]
We differentiate the last equality with respect to , use , and find that satisfies the following equations
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
After doing another change of variables , , , , we obtain that and
[TABLE]
The first integrals of the last equation are
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
They can be rewritten in the original variables as
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Therefore, system (6) becomes (11) due to (29) and (31).
2.3 Proof of Remark 1.1
Function is any function satisfying the equality , where is any smooth function.
(I) By taking function as we obtain one possible function . It satisfies the equality and can be taken as
(II) By taking function as we obtain another possible function . It satisfies the equality and can be taken as .
In both cases ((I) and (II)) let us consider the corresponding -rings. Denote by , , , , , . Note that . We have,
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
in case (I) and
[TABLE]
in case (II).
3 Proof of Theorem 1.3
3.1 Case (1)
Let us find a system
[TABLE]
possessing -integrals (16) and (17). The equality implies
[TABLE]
or the same
[TABLE]
We consider the coefficients by and in (47) to get
[TABLE]
The equality implies
[TABLE]
Since , where the remaining terms do not depend on , the equality (50) implies
[TABLE]
Note that is an -integral as well. Since and , where the remaining terms do not depend on , then
[TABLE]
It follows from equalities (48), (49), (51) and (52) that and . Therefore the system (45) and equality (47) become
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
By considering coefficients by , and in the last equality, we get
[TABLE]
Now let us rewrite inequality (50) for the system (53)
[TABLE]
By comparing the coefficients by and in the last equality, we get
[TABLE]
It follows from equality that
[TABLE]
By comparing the coefficients by and in the last equality, we get
[TABLE]
Note that the equalities (55) and (56) follow from equalities (59) and (61). Let us use equalities (59) and (61) to rewrite equality (58)
[TABLE]
We note that the consideration of the coefficients by , , , , in the above equality give us equations that follow immediately from (59) and (61). Considering coefficient by we get
[TABLE]
Using equations (59) and (61) we get
[TABLE]
or using equation (57) ,
[TABLE]
Considering coefficient by we get
[TABLE]
Using equations (59) and (61) we get
[TABLE]
It follows from equations (64) and (66) that and . Thus either or
[TABLE]
Now we consider the coefficient by in (58) we get
[TABLE]
First assume that then using (67) we can rewrite the above equality as
[TABLE]
Also we can rewrite equality (60), using equations (59), (61) and (57) then considering coefficients by and we obtain
[TABLE]
From above equalities and (61) it follows that , and (we assume that ). We have
[TABLE]
Using (70), the equality (69) takes form . This equality implies that under assumptions that and we have three possibilities: (I) , (II) and (III) . Let us consider these possibilities.
Case (I) From , using (70), we get that , , . Thus , where is a constant. We also get that , , and . Thus , where is a constant. So the system (53) takes form (18).
Case (II) From , using (70), we get that , , . Thus , where is a constant. We also get that , , and . Thus , where is a constant. So the system (53) takes form (19).
Case (III) From , using (70), we get that and . So the system (53) takes form
[TABLE]
3.2 Case (2)
Let us find system (15) possessing -integrals (20) and (21). We compare the coefficients in by and and get
[TABLE]
We also compare the coefficients in and
by and respectively and get and . It follows from (71) that and . Therefore, our system (15) becomes
[TABLE]
We write equality and get
[TABLE]
By comparing the coefficients by , and in the last equality we obtain the system of equations
[TABLE]
That suggests the following change of variables
[TABLE]
to be made. In new variables the system (15) becomes
[TABLE]
The comparison of coefficients in by , and gives
[TABLE]
The coefficients in by and are compared and we obtain the following equalities
[TABLE]
It follows from (73) and (74) that , , and . Therefore, system (72) can be written as
[TABLE]
We compare the coefficient in by and get
[TABLE]
that is . Hence, . Now we compare the coefficient in by and get
[TABLE]
Since functions and do not depend on variable , then it follows from (75) that , that is . Now (75) becomes
[TABLE]
Note that the right side of the last equality depends on only, while the left side depends on only. Hence, and , where is some constant. One can see that and and therefore system (72) becomes
[TABLE]
where , and are some constants. Equality becomes , which implies that either , or , or . Note that the is also satisfied if either or or . So we have three cases:
when the system (15) becomes (22) with and .
when the system (15) becomes (26) with .
when the system (15) becomes (27) with .
3.3 Case (3)
Let us find system (15) possessing -integrals (23) and (24). We compare the coefficients in by and and get
[TABLE]
We also compare the coefficients in and by and respectively and get and . It follows from (76) that and . Therefore, our system (15) becomes
[TABLE]
By comparing the coefficients by , and in we obtain the system of equations
[TABLE]
That suggests the following change of variables
[TABLE]
to be made. In new variables the system (15) becomes
[TABLE]
The comparison of coefficients in by , and gives
[TABLE]
The comparison of coefficients in by and gives
[TABLE]
Using equations (78) and (79) we get , , , and . Therefore, system (77) can be written as
[TABLE]
where and are some functions depending on and only. We compare the coefficients in by and the coefficients in by , and respectively and get
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
We solve the linear system of equations (80) with respect to , , and and get the following system of differential equations , , and . Thus the system (77) is written as
[TABLE]
where and are arbitrary constants. It is equivalent to system (25) with and .
