Dispersionless Toda and Toeplitz operators

From MaRDI portal





The goal of this paper is to clarify, in a specific example the link between large systems of ordinary differential equations and certain limiting nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). The authors present some results on the dispersionless limit of the Toda lattice equations viewed as the semiclassical limit of an equation involving certain Toeplitz operators. They consider both periodic and nonperiodic boundary conditions. They show that the Toda equations, although they are nonlinear, propagate a Toeplitz operator into an operator arbitrary close to a Toeplitz operator as long as the Toda PDE (dispersionless limit) admits smooth solutions. The authors believe that their methods should be valid in other situations since they only use the Lax pair structure of the lattice and not its complete integrability.
