Course objectives

See MU/03258. In the second semester we will mostly deal with the conservation laws, their relations with symmetries, and the associated structures.

Syllabus

Conservation laws, cosymmetries and their computation.
Basics of calculus of variations. Symmetries of variational problems. The Noether theorems.
Hamiltonian structures of evolution systems of partial differential equations and their properties. Bihamiltonian systems and their integrability. Recursion operators and symplectic structures.
Zero curavture representations and their applications; the spectral parameter; gauge transformations. Lax representations and introduction to the inverse scattering method.
