题  目：From discrete integrable system to continuous integrable system

摘 要： In this talk, Prof. Feng will give a review on recent development of integrable system, especially the discrete inegrable system. It is known that the tau-functions play a crucial role in both the continuous and discrete integrable sytems. Prof. Feng will start with a type of Gram determinant solution and show it satisfies the Hirota-Miwa equation, or the discrete Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation. By introducing Schur polynomial, and Miwa transformation, we will derive the KP hierarchy, whose reductions give rise to the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation and Boussinesq equation. Then we will show by simple transformations, the discrete KP equation can be transformed into discrete modified KP equation and the discrete KP-Toda lattice equation, which in turn lead to the modified KP and KP-Toda hierarchy, whose reductions give the modified KdV equation and Sine-Gordon equation, respectively.
