Consider the Poisson structure
{F,G}=∫Rδu(x)δF∂x∂δu(x)δGdx
where F,G are polynomial functionals of u,ux,uxx,…. Assume that u,ux,uxx,… tend to zero as ∣x∣→∞.
(i) Show that {F,G}=−{G,F}.
(ii) Write down Hamilton's equations for u=u(x,t) corresponding to the following Hamiltonians:
H0[u]=∫R21u2dx,H[u]=∫R(21ux2+u3+uux)dx
(iii) Calculate the Poisson bracket {H0,H}, and hence or otherwise deduce that the following overdetermined system of partial differential equations for u=u(x,t0,t) is compatible:
ut0=uxut=6uux−uxxx
[You may assume that the Jacobi identity holds for (1).]
(iv) Find a symmetry of (3) generated by X=∂/∂u+αt∂/∂x for some constant α∈R which should be determined. Construct a vector field Y corresponding to the one parameter group
x→βx,t→γt,u→δu,
where (β,γ,δ) should be determined from the symmetry requirement. Find the Lie algebra generated by the vector fields (X,Y).
