KP symmetry reductions and a generalized constraint

Open full text 23 citations

Abstract

We study the link between symmetry reductions and constraints of the Kadomtsev - Petviashvili equations in terms of the tau function. We propose a generalization - adapted to non-zero boundary conditions - of the standard constraints, and show a particular class of solutions (solitons).
