This paper is devoted to the explicit construction of examples of infinite dimensional Poisson Lie groups, and in particular to Poisson-Lie structures on the diffeomorphism groups of the real line and the circle. After briefly reviewing the basics on Poisson Lie groups and the relation to Lie bialgebras and classical \(r\)-matrices, the author studies the classical Yang-Baxter equation in the special case of the Lie algebra of vector fields on a manifold. Specializing further to dimension one and a special form of the \(r\)-matrix, the author obtains a differential equation on a function in one variable, which is equivalent to the Yang-Baxter equation for the associated \(r\)-matrix. Using this equation, he constructs explicit examples of classical \(r\)-matrices on vector fields on the line and on the circle. Finally, the Poisson brackets coming from classical \(r\)-matrices of the above type are computed explicitly for certain test functions on the corresponding groups of diffeomorphisms. This is worked out in several examples. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0914.00060].
