A four-component hierarchy of combined integrable equations with bi-Hamiltonian formulations

Abstract

Upon introducing a specific 4 × 4 matrix eigenvalue problem with four components, we would like to construct a Liouville integrable Hamiltonian hierarchy, within the zero curvature formulation. Bi-Hamiltonian formulations are furnished via the trace identity, through which the Liouville integrability of the resulting hierarchy is explored. The first two nonlinear examples are novel generalized combined nonlinear Schrödinger equations and modified Korteweg–de Vries equations.
