Soliton Equations and Their Algebro-Geometric Solutions. Volume II: (1+1)-Dimensional Discrete Models
Fritz Gesztesy, Helge Holden, Johanna Michor, and Gerald Teschl
The focus of this book is on algebro-geometric solutions of completely
integrable, nonlinear, difference-differential equations in
(1+1)-dimensions, also known as soliton equations. Explicitly
treated integrable models include the Toda, Kac-van Moerbeke, and Ablowitz-Ladik
hierarchies. An extensive treatment of the class of algebro-geometric
solutions in the stationary as well as time-dependent contexts is
provided. The formalism presented includes trace formulas,
Dubrovin-type initial value problems, Baker-Akhiezer functions, and
theta function representations of all relevant quantities
involved. The book uses techniques from the theory of differential
equations, spectral analysis, and elements of algebraic geometry (most
notably, the theory of compact Riemann surfaces). The presentation is
rigorous, detailed, and self-contained with ample background
material. Detailed notes for each chapter together with an extensive
bibliography enhance the presentation offered in the main text.
