Commuting mixed derivatives impose an equation on the coefficient matrices of an overdetermined auxiliary system.
A Hamiltonian that is a sum of one-coordinate quadratic potentials plus linear terms becomes a collection of independent harmonic oscillators after translating each equilibrium position.
Hamiltonians that split into terms have for , and their differentials are generically independent because they use disjoint coordinate pairs.
The inverse scattering transform evolves the scattering data of an auxiliary linear operator and reconstructs the potential from the evolved data.
The Korteweg-De Vries equationis an integrable nonlinear dispersive equation. Its sign convention here admits negative solitary waves.
Writing a defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger field as turns it into a continuity equation for and a velocity equation for , including a quantum-pressure term.
In a common normalization, the defocusing case is . The sign distinguishes it from the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation.
