A finite-dimensional integrable system associated with a polynomial eigenvalue problem (Q884180)

\textit{M. Antonowicz} and \textit{A. P. Fordy} [J. Phys. A 21, No. 5, L269--L275 (1988; Zbl 0673.35088)] introduced the second-order polynomial eigenvalue problem \(L\Phi = (\partial^2+\sum_{i=1}^n\nu_i\lambda^i)\Phi=\alpha \Phi\) (\(\partial=\partial/\partial x\), \(\alpha=\) constant) and discussed its multi-Hamiltonian structures. For \(n=1\) and \(n=2\), the associated finite-dimensional integrable Hamiltonian systems (FDIHS) have been discussed by \textit{T. Xu} and \textit{W. Mu} [Finite-dimensional completely integrable systems associated with the Harry Dym and the coupled Harry Dym hierarchies, Phys. Lett. A 147, No. 2--3, 125--129 (1990)] using the nonlinearization method and Bargmann constraints. In this paper, we consider the general case, that is, \(n\) is arbitrary, provide the constrained Hamiltonian systems associated with the above-mentioned second-order polynomial ergenvalue problem, and prove them to be completely integrable.
