Infinitesimal Darboux transformation and semi-discrete mKdV equation
arXiv:2010.07846 · doi:10.1088/1361-6544/ac591f
Abstract
We connect certain continuous motions of discrete planar curves resulting in semi-discrete potential Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation with Darboux transformations of smooth planar curves. In doing so, we define infinitesimal Darboux transformations that include the aforementioned motions, and also give an alternate geometric interpretation for establishing the semi-discrete potential mKdV equation.
