Integrability of and differential-algebraic structures for spatially 1D hydrodynamical systems of Riemann type

A differential-algebraic approach to studying the Lax integrability of a generalized Riemann type hydrodynamic hierarchy is revisited and a new Lax representation is constructed. The related bi-Hamiltonian integrability and compatible Poissonian structures of this hierarchy are also investigated using gradient-holonomic and geometric methods. The complete integrability of a new generalized Riemann hydrodynamic system is studied via a novel combination of symplectic and differential-algebraic tools. A compatible pair of polynomial Poissonian structures, a Lax representation and a related infinite hierarchy of conservation laws are obtained. In addition, the differential-algebraic approach is used to prove the complete lax integrability of the generalized Ostrovsky-Vakhnenko and a new Burgers type system, and special cases are studied using symplectic and gradient-holonomic tools. Compatible pairs of polynomial Poissonian structures, matrix Lax representations and infinite hierarchies of conservation laws are derived. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
