Five constructions of integrable dynamical systems connected with the Korteweg-de Vries equation

Abstract

Two countable sets of integrable dynamical systems which turn into the Korteweg-de Vries equation in a continous limit are constructed. The integrability of the dynamics of the scattering matrix entries for these systems is proved and an integrable reduction in the finitedimensional case is pointed out. A construction of the integrable dynamical systems connected with the simple Lie algebras and generalizing the discrete kdV equation is presented. Two general constructions of differential and integro-differential equations (with respect to time t) possessing a countable set of first integrals are found. These equations admit the Lax representation in some infinite-dimensional subalgebras of the Lie algebra of integral operators on an arbitrary manifold M n with measure μ. A construction of matrix equations having a set of attractors in the space of all matrix entries is given.
