Generalizations of the finite nonperiodic Toda lattice and its Darboux transformation

Abstract

In this paper, we construct Hamiltonian systems for 2N particles whose force depends on the distances between the particles. We obtain the generalized finite nonperiodic Toda equations via a symmetric group transformation. The solutions of the generalized Toda equations are derived using the tau functions. The relationship between the generalized nonperiodic Toda lattices and Lie algebras is then be discussed and the generalized Kac-van Moerbeke hierarchy is split into generalized Toda lattices, whose integrability and Darboux transformation are studied.
