Integrability, computation and applications (Q1896387)

The study of integrable systems and the notion of integrability has been re-energized with the discovery that infinite-dimensional systems such as the Korteweg-de Vries equation are integrable. In this paper the following novel aspects of integrability are described: (i) solutions of Darboux, Brioschi, Halphen-type systems and their relations to monodromy problems and automorphic functions, (ii) computational chaos in integrable systems, (iii) the authors explain why they believe that homoclinic structures and homoclinic chaos associated with nonlinear integrable wave problems, will be observed in appropriate laboratory experiments.
