This paper considers the whole hierarchy of bi-Hamiltonian integrable equations associated to each of the Short-Pulse (SP) equation and the Sine-Gordon (SG) equation. We prove that the transformation that relates the SP equation with the SG equation also serves to establish the correspondence between their flows and Hamiltonian conservation laws in respective hierarchy.
We first derive an integrable deformed hierarchy of short pulse equation and their Lax representation. Then we concentrated on the solution of integrable deformed short pulse equation (IDSPE). By proposing a generalized reciprocal transformation, we find a new integrable deformed sine-Gordon equation (IDSGE) and its Lax representation. The multisoliton solutions, negaton solutions and positon solutions for the IDSGE and the N-loop soliton solutions, N-negaton and N-positon solutions for the IDSPE are presented. In the reduced case the new N-positon solutions and N-negaton solutions for short pulse equation are obtained.
Using the determinant representation of gauge transformation operator, we have shown that the general form of $tau$ function of the $q$-KP hierarchy is a q-deformed generalized Wronskian, which includes the q-deformed Wronskian as a special case. On the basis of these, we study the q-deformed constrained KP ($q$-cKP) hierarchy, i.e. $l$-constraints of $q$-KP hierarchy. Similar to the ordinary constrained KP (cKP) hierarchy, a large class of solutions of $q$-cKP hierarchy can be represented by q-deformed Wronskian determinant of functions satisfying a set of linear $q$-partial differential equations with constant coefficients. We obtained additional conditions for these functions imposed by the constraints. In particular, the effects of $q$-deformation ($q$-effects) in single $q$-soliton from the simplest $tau$ function of the $q$-KP hierarchy and in multi-$q$-soliton from one-component $q$-cKP hierarchy, and their dependence of $x$ and $q$, were also presented. Finally, we observe that $q$-soliton tends to the usual soliton of the KP equation when $xto 0$ and $qto 1$, simultaneously.
Under three relations connecting the field variables of Toda flows and that of KdV flows, we present three new sequences of combination of the equations in the Toda hierarchy which have the KdV hierarchy as a continuous limit. The relation between the Poisson structures of the KdV hierarchy and the Toda hierarchy in continuous limit is also studied.
Critical points of semiclassical expansions of solutions to the dispersionful Toda hierarchy are considered and a double scaling limit method of regularization is formulated. The analogues of the critical points characterized by the strong conditions in the Hermitian matrix model are analyzed and the property of doubling of equations is proved. A wide family of sets of critical points is introduced and the corresponding double scaling limit expansions are discussed.
An iterative algorithm for determining a class of solutions of the dispersionful 2-Toda hierarchy characterized by string equations is developed. This class includes the solution which underlies the large N-limit of the Hermitian matrix model in the one-cut case. It is also shown how the double scaling limit can be naturally formulated in this scheme
