Finite-gap solutions of the vortex filament equation: isoperiodic deformations (Q2476193): Difference between revisions

The central idea of this paper is to approach the problem of constructing closed finite-gap solutions of the vortex filament equation (also known as localized induction equation) by starting with an already closed curve of particularly simple type (namely a multiply covered circle) and deforming its associated spectrum in such a way that both periodicity of the corresponding nonlinear Schrödinger equation potential and closure of the curve are preserved.
