Why the Riccati equation $\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x} =ax^{m}+by^{2}$ has an elementary solution "only" when $m=0$, $m=-2$, $m=4k/(2k\pm 1)$?
The special form of Riccati equation
$$
\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x} =ax^{m}+by^{2}
$$ has been proved that it is solvable if and only if $m=0$, $m=-2$, $m=4k/(2k\pm 1)$.
The sufficiency is ...

Connecting the higher energies of GP and KdV via a Riccati equation
I will describe my set-up and then the problem.
We use the branch of the complex square root where
$$ \sqrt{re^{i \phi}} = \sqrt{r} e^{i \frac{\phi}{2}} \qquad \forall r > 0 \,, \forall \phi \in [0,...

Building a geodesic conjugate parameterization on catenoid
I believe that a catenoid supports a parametrization $\sigma : U \subset \mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^3$ that forms a conjugate system (i.e., $\sigma_{uv} \in\mathrm{span}(\sigma_u, \sigma_v)$) ...

A system of linear PDEs with boundary conditions
I'm researching on discrete/semi-discrete/smooth differential geometry. Recently, I could simplify one of my geometric problems (in the smooth scenario) into the solutions of a system of linear PDEs ...

Zero-curvature formulation of the Camassa-Holm hierarchy
In the book of Gesztesy and Holden (see the following article of the same authors), they state that the (stationary) Camassa-Holm hierarchy may be cast as a zero-curvature equation
\begin{align}
-V_{n,...

About writing solutions of linear ODE's: Is this statement correct?
A motivating example: Consider the Hypergeometric equation
$$z(1-z) \frac{d^2y}{dz^2}+(c-(a+b+1)z) \frac{dy}{dz}-aby=0,$$
it has a solution given by the Gauss's Hypergeometric function
$$_2F_1(a,b;c;z)...

Coordinates for quasiperiodic motion after reconstruction
Consider a free action of $SO(3)$ on a manifold $M$ and some (reducible) dynamics vector field $X$ on $M$. Suposse that the reduced dynamics $X_{red}$ on $M/SO(3)$ has only fixed points and periodic ...

Obstruction to the existence of a globally defined integrating factor
Let $U$ be an open subset of $\Bbb{R}^n$ and take $\omega$ to be a nowhere-vanishing smooth $1$-form on $U$. The Frobenius Theorem implies that, near each point of $U$, $\omega$ may be written as $g\,{...

Why is Jacobi Identity equivalent to holonomy of system? [closed]
Or equivalently, why is jacobi identity equivalent to integrability of system? How do I understand it intuitively? Thanks.

Periodicity of KdV equation in relation to zero-curvature equation
In most of the resources that I have read, integrable systems described by a PDE posses a zero-curvature equation
$$
\partial_t U - \partial_x V + [U,V] = 0
$$
which gives rise to the monodromy matrix

What does it mean for a differential equation "to be integrable"? [duplicate]
What does it mean for a differential equation "to be integrable"?
Are "integrable" and "solvable" synonyms?
The first thing that comes to my mind is to say: it's integrable if we can find the ...

Singularity Confinement For Differential-Difference Systems
This is a follow-up question to an old question on this site (link) which has a solution that describes the singularity confinement property for discrete systems.
Are there any papers or books that ...

How to find a Lax Pair for the modified KdV equation
Question
I am having trouble trying to find a matrix $T$ so that with $X$, they form a Lax pair for the modified KdV equation $u_t - 6 u^2 u_x + u_{xxx} = 0$. Where $X$ is defined as:

What is exactly the (singularity) confinement property ?
This property seems to be used both in the context of differential equations and several kinds of discrete equation systems or automata.
It seems to be related in certain case to the Painlevé ...
