In this paper, we construct degenerate soliton solutions (which preserve PT -symmetry/break PT -symmetry) to the nonlocal Manakov system through a nonstandard bilinear procedure. Here by degenerate we mean the solitons that are present in both the modes which propagate with same velocity. The degenerate nonlocal soliton solution is constructed after briefly indicating the form of nondegenerate one-soliton solution. To derive these soliton solutions, we simultaneously solve the nonlocal Manakov equation and a pair of coupled equations that arise from the zero curvature condition. The later consideration yields general soliton solution which agrees with the solutions that are already reported in the literature under certain specific parametric choice. We also discuss the salient features associated with the obtained degenerate soliton solutions.

In this paper, by considering the degenerate two bright soliton solutions of the nonlocal Manakov system, we bring out three different types of energy sharing collisions for two different parametric conditions. Among the three, two of them are new which do not exist in the local Manakov equation. By performing an asymptotic analysis to the degenerate two-soliton solution, we explain the changes which occur in the quasi-intensity/quasi-power, phase shift and relative separation distance during the collision process. Remarkably, the intensity redistribution reveals that in the new types of shape changing collisions, the energy difference of soliton in the two modes is not preserved during collision. In contrast to this, in the other shape changing collision, the total energy of soliton in the two modes is conserved during collision. In addition to this, by tuning the imaginary parts of the wave numbers, we observe localized resonant patterns in both the scenarios. We also demonstrate the existence of bound states in the CNNLS equation during the collision process for certain parametric values.

We present a generalized study and characterization of the integrability properties of the derivative non-linear Schrödinger equation in 1+1 dimensions. A Lax pair is derived for this equation by means of a Miura transformation and the singular manifold method. This procedure, together with the Darboux transformations, allow us to construct a wide class of rational soliton-like solutions. Lie classical symmetries have also been computed and similarity reductions have been analyzed and discussed.

In this work we give an explicit solution to the problem of differentiation of hyperelliptic functions in genus 4 case. It is a genus 4 analogue of the classical result of F. G. Frobenius and L. Stickelberger [F. G. Frobenius, L. Stickelberger, "Uber die Differentiation der elliptischen Functionen nach den Perioden und Invarianten", J. Reine Angew. Math., 92 (1882), 311-337] in the case of elliptic functions. An explicit solution in the genus 2 case was given in [V. M. Buchstaber, "Polynomial dynamical systems and Korteweg-de Vries equation", Proc. Steklov Inst. Math., 294 (2016), 176-200]. An explicit solution in the genus 3 case was given in [E. Yu. Bunkova, "Differentiation of genus 3 hyperelliptic functions", European Journal of Mathematics, 4:1 (2018), 93-112].

Fordy and Xenitidis [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 50 (2017) 165205] recently proposed a large class of discrete integrable systems which include a number of novel integrable difference equations, from the perspective of Z N graded Lax pairs, without providing solutions. In this paper, we establish the link between the Fordy-Xenitidis discrete systems in coprime case and linear integral equations in certain form, which reveals solution structure of these equations. The bilinear form of the Fordy-Xenitidis integrable difference equations is also presented together with the associated general tau function. Furthermore, the solution structure explains the connections between the Fordy-Xenitidis novel models and the discrete Gel'fand-Dikii hierarchy.

Direct scattering transform of nonlinear wave fields with solitons may lead to anomalous numerical errors of soliton phase and position parameters. With the focusing one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation serving as a model, we investigate this fundamental issue theoretically. Using the dressing method we find the landscape of soliton scattering coefficients in the plane of the complex spectral parameter for multi-soliton wave fields truncated within a finite domain, allowing us to capture the nature of particular numerical errors. They depend on the size of the computational domain L leading to a counterintuitive exponential divergence when increasing L in the presence of a small uncertainty in soliton eigenvalues. In contrast to classical textbooks, we reveal how one of the scattering coefficients loses its analytical properties due to the lack of the wave field compact support in case of L→∞ . Finally, we demonstrate that despite this inherit direct scattering transform feature, the wave fields of arbitrary complexity can be reliably analysed.

We present a comprehensive review of the discrete Boussinesq equations based on their three-component forms on an elementary quadrilateral. These equations were originally found by Nijhoff et al using the direct linearization method and later generalized by Hietarinta using a search method based on multidimensional consistency. We derive from these three-component equations their two- and one-component variants. From the one-component form we derive two different semi-continuous limits as well as their fully continuous limits, which turn out to be PDE's for the regular, modified and Schwarzian Boussinesq equations. Several kinds of Lax pairs are also provided. Finally we give their Hirota bilinear forms and multi-soliton solutions in terms of Casoratians.

The discrete non-commutative Darboux system of equations with self-consistent sources is constructed, utilizing both the vectorial fundamental (binary Darboux) transformation and the method of additional independent variables. Then the symmetric reduction of discrete Darboux equations with sources is presented. In order to provide a simpler version of the resulting equations we introduce the τ/σ form of the (commutative) discrete Darboux system. Our equations give, in continuous limit, the version with self-consistent sources of the classical symmetric Darboux system.

The discrete power function on the hexagonal lattice proposed by Bobenko et al is considered, whose defining equations consist of three cross-ratio equations and a similarity constraint. We show that the defining equations are derived from the discrete symmetry of the Garnier system in two variables.

We show that nonlocal reductions of systems of integrable nonlinear partial differential equations are the special discrete symmetry transformations.
