Existene of the Lax representation (5) allows to solve the nonlinear initial-boundary value problem (), (2), (6) by means of the inverse spetral problem method 2 SPECTRAL DATA FOR COMPLEX JACOBI MATRICES AND INVERSE SPECTRAL PROBLEM An N N omplex Jaobi matrix is a matrix of the form b a a b a a b 2 J =, (7) b N 3 a N 3 a N 3 b N 2 a N 2 a N 2 b N for eah n, a n and b n are arbitrary omplex numbers suh that a n is different from zero: a n, b n C, a n (8) If the entries of the matrix J are real, then the eigenvalues of J are real and simple However, if the matrix J is omplex, then its eigenvalues may be nonreal and multiple Let R(λ) = (J λi) be the resolvent of the matrix J (by I we denote the identity matrix of needed dimension) and e be the N-dimensional vetor with the omponents,,, The rational funtion w(λ) = ((R(λ)e, e ) = ( (λi J) ) e, e (9) we all the resolvent funtion of the matrix J Denote by λ,, λ p all the distint eigenvalues of the matrix J and by m,, m p their multipliities, respetively, as the roots of the harateristi polynomial det(j λi), so that p N and m + +m p = N We an deompose the rational funtion w(λ) into partial frations to get w(λ) = p m k β kj (λ λ k ) j, () β kj are some omplex numbers uniquely determined by the matrix J Definition The olletion of the quantities {λ k, β kj (j =,, m k, k =,, p)}, () we all the spetral data of the matrix J For eah k {,, p} the (finite) sequene {β k,, β kmk } we all the normalizing hain (of the matrix J) assoiated with the eigenvalue λ k Let us indiate a onvenient way for omputation of the spetral data of omplex Jaobi matries For this purpose we should desribe the resolvent funtion w(λ) of the Jaobi matrix Given a Jaobi matrix J of the form (7) with the entries (8), onsider the eigenvalue problem Jy = λy for a olumn vetor y = {y n } N n=, that is equivalent to the seond order linear differene equation a n y n + b n y n + a n y n+ = λy n, (2) n {,,, N }, a = a N =, for {y n } N n=, with the boundary onditions y = y N = Denote by {P n (λ)} N n= and {Q n (λ)} N n= the solutions of equation (2) satisfying the initial onditions P (λ) =, P (λ) = ; (3) Q (λ) =, Q (λ) = (4) For eah n, P n (λ) is a polynomial of degree n and is alled a polynomial of first kind and Q n (λ) is a polynomial of degree n and is known as a polynomial of seond kind The equality det (J λi) = ( ) N a a a N 2 P N (λ) (5) holds so that the eigenvalues of the matrix J oinide with the zeros of the polynomial P N (λ) In [6] it is shown that the entries R nm (λ) of the matrix R(λ) = (J λi) (resolvent of J) are of the form { Pn (λ)[q R nm (λ) = m (λ) + M(λ)P m (λ)], n m, P m (λ)[q n (λ) + M(λ)P n (λ)], m n, n, m {,,, N } and M(λ) = Q N (λ) P N (λ) Therefore aording to (9) and using initial onditions (3), (4), we get w(λ) = R (λ) = M(λ) = Q N(λ) P N (λ) (6) Denote by λ,, λ p all the distint roots of the polynomial P N (λ) (whih oinide by (5) with the eigenvalues of the matrix J) and by m,, m p their multipliities, respetively: P N (λ) = (λ λ ) m (λ λ p ) mp, is a onstant We have p N and m + + m p = N Therefore by (6) deomposition () an be obtained by rewriting the rational funtion Q N (λ)/p N (λ) as the sum of partial frations We an also get another onvenient representation for the resolvent funtion as follows If we delete the first row and the first olumn of the matrix J given in (7), then we get the new matrix b () b () b () 2 J () =, b () N 4 a() N 4 N 4 b() N 3 a() N 3 N 3 b() N 2 n = a n+, n {,,, N 3}, b () n = b n+, n {,,, N 2} The matrix J () is alled the first trunated matrix (with respet to the matrix J) Theorem 2 The equality holds w(λ) = det(j () λi) det(j λi) Proof Let us denote the polynomials of the first and the seond kinds, orresponding to the matrix J (), by P n () (λ) and Q () n (λ), respetively It is easily seen that P () n (λ) = a Q n+ (λ), (7)
Q () n (λ) = {(λ b )Q n+ (λ) P n+ (λ)}, a n {,,, N } Indeed, both sides of eah of these equalities are solutions of the same differene equation n y n + b () n y n + n y n+ = λy n, n {,,, N 2}, N 2 =, and the sides oinide for n = and n = Therefore the equalities hold by the uniqueness theorem for solutions Consequently, taking into aount (5) for the matrix J () instead of J and using (7), we find det(j () λi) = ( ) N a() N 3 P () N (λ) = ( ) N a a N 2 a Q N (λ) Comparing this with (5), we get Q N (λ) () P N (λ) = det(j λi) det(j λi) so that the statement of the theorem follows by (6) The inverse problem is stated as follows: (i) To see if it is possible to reonstrut the matrix J, given its spetral data () If it is possible, to desribe the reonstrution proedure (ii) To find the neessary and suffiient onditions for a given olletion () to be spetral data for some matrix J of the form (7) with entries belonging to the lass (8) This problem was solved reently by the author in [6] and the following results were established Given the olletion () define the numbers p m k ( ) l s l = j ) ( is a binomial oeffiient and we put l β kj λ l j+ k, (8) ( l j j ) = if j > l Using the numbers s l let us introdue the determinants s s s n s s 2 s n+ D n =, n =,,, N (9) s n s n+ s 2n Theorem 3 Let an arbitrary olletion () of omplex numbers be given, λ,, λ p ( p N) are distint, m k N, and m + + m p = N In order for this olletion to be the spetral data for some Jaobi matrix J of the form (7) with entries belonging to the lass (8), it is neessary and suffiient that the following two onditions be satisfied: (i) p k= β k = ; (ii) D n, for n {, 2,, N }, and D N =, D n is the determinant defined by (9), (8) Under the onditions of Theorem 3 the entries a n and b n of the matrix J for whih the olletion () is spetral data, are reovered by the formulas a n = ± (D n D n+ ) /2 D n, (2) n {,,, N 2}, D =, b n = n D n n D n, (2) n {,,, N }, =, = s, D n is defined by (9) and (8), and n is the determinant obtained from the determinant D n by replaing in D n the last olumn by the olumn with the omponents s n+, s n+2,, s 2n+ Remark 4 It follows from the above solution of the inverse problem that the matrix (7) is not uniquely restored from the spetral data This is linked with the fat that the a n are determined from (2) uniquely up to a sign To ensure that the inverse problem is uniquely solvable, we have to speify additionally a sequene of signs + and Namely, let {σ, σ 2,, σ N } be a given finite sequene, for eah n {, 2,, N } the σ n is + or We have 2 N suh different sequenes Now to determine a n uniquely from (2) for n {,,, N 2} we an hoose the sign σ n when extrating the square root In this way we get preisely 2 N distint Jaobi matries possessing the same spetral data The inverse problem is solved uniquely from the data onsisting of the spetral data and a sequene {σ, σ 2,, σ N } of signs + and 3 THE TIME EVOLUTION OF THE SPECTRAL DATA AND SOLVING PROCEDURE FOR THE TODA LATTICE Theorem 5 Let {a n (t), b n (t)} be a solution of (), (2) and J = J(t) be the Jaobi matrix defined by this solution aording to (3) Then there exists an ivertible N N matrix-funtion X(t) suh that X (t)j(t)x(t) = J() for all t (22) Proof Let A(t) be defined aording to (4) Then the Lax equation (5) holds Denote by X = X(t) the matrix solution of the initial value problem Ẋ(t) = A(t)X(t), (23) X() = I (24) Suh solution X(t) exists and is unique From the Liouville formula ( det X(t) = exp ) tra(τ)dτ it follows that det X(t) so that the matrix X(t) is invertible Using the formula dx = X dx X, equation (23), and the Lax equation (5), we have d ( X JX ) = dx dj JX + X X + X J dx dj = X AXX JX + X X X JAX ( ) dj = X [JA AJ] X = Therefore X (t)j(t)x(t) does not depend on t and by initial ondition (24) we get (22) The proof is omplete It follows from (22) that for any t the harateristi polynomials of the matries J(t) and J() oinide Therefore we arrive at the following statement Corollary 6 The eigenvalues of the matrix J(t), as well as their multipliities, do not depend on t
Remark 7 From the skew-symmetry A T = A of the matrix A(t) defined by (4) it follows that for the solution X(t) of (23), (24) we have X (t) = X T (t), T stands for the matrix transpose Indeed, by equation (23), d ( X T X ) = dxt X + dx XT = X T A T X X T AX = X T AX X T AX = Therefore X T (t)x(t) does not depend on t and by initial ondition (24) we get X T (t)x(t) = X T ()X() = I Theorem 8 The dynamis of the solution of the Toda equations (), (2) with the arbitrary omplex initial data (6) orresponds to the following evolution of the resolvent funtion w(λ; t) of the matrix J(t) : w(λ; t) = e2λt w(λ; ) 2 S(u)e 2λ(t u) du, (25) = w(z; )e 2zt dz (26) Γ in whih Γ is any losed ontour that enloses all the eigenvalues of the matrix J() By Corollary 6 the eigenvalues of the matrix J(t) and their multipliities do not depend on t However, the normalazing numbers of the matrix J(t) will depend on t The following theorem desribes this dependene Theorem 9 For the normalizing numbers β kj (t) (j =,, m k ; k =,, p) of the matrix J(t) the following evolution holds: β kj (t) = e2λ kt = p k= m k s=j m k e 2λ kt j= β ks () (2t)s j (s j)!, (27) β kj () (2t)j (j )! (28) Proof Aording to (), we have p m k β kj (t) w(λ; t) = (λ λ k ) j (29) We will dedue (27), (28) from (25), (26) First we ompute the funtion in (26) We use the known formula f (n) (z) = f(ζ) dζ, n! γ (ζ z) n+ γ is the boundary of the disk D = {ζ C : ζ z δ} with δ > and f(z) is analyti in a domain of C ontaining D For any k {,, p} we set Γ k = {z C : z λ k = δ} and hoose δ > so small that Γ,, Γ p are disjoint and all inside Γ Then we have, by (26) and (29), Further, = Γ p m k β kj () Γ e 2zt (z λ k ) j dz e 2zt (z λ k ) j dz = e Γk 2zt (z λ k ) j dz = (2t)j (j )! e2λ kt Therefore for we have the formula (28) Now we rewrite (25) in the form, using (29), p m k β kj (t) (λ λ k ) j = e2λt 2 p m k β kj () (λ λ k ) j S(u)e 2λ(t u) du (3) Take any l {,, p} and s {,, m l }, multiply (3) by () (λ λ l ) s and integrate both sides over Γ l to get m l dλ β lj (t) j= Γ l (λ λ l ) j s+ = m l β lj () j= Γ l e 2λt dλ (λ λ l ) j s+ We have used the fat that the integral of the seond term of the right side of (3) gave zero beause of the analytiity of that term with respet to λ Hene beause Γ l β ls (t) = e2λ lt Γ l m l j=s dλ (λ λ l ) j s+ = e 2λt dλ (λ λ l ) j s+ = Now, (3) means that (27) holds β lj () (2t)j s (j s)! { if j = s, if j s, if j < s, (2t) j s (j s)! e2λ lt if j s (3) We get the following proedure for solving the problem (), (2), (6) From the initial data {a n, b n} we form the Jaobi matrix J() and ompute the spetral data {λ k, β kj () (j =,, m k, k =,, p)} (32) of the matrix J() Then we make up the time-dependent spetral data {λ k, β kj (t) (j =,, m k, k =,, p)}, (33) β kj (t) is obtained from (32) by (27), (28) Finally, solving the inverse spetral problem with respet to (33) we onstrut a Jaobi matrix J(t) The entries {a n (t), b n (t)} of the matrix J(t) give a solution of problem (), (2), (6) 4 EXAMPLES In the ase N = 2, equations (), (2) beome ȧ = a (b b ), ḃ = 2(a 2 a 2 ), ȧ = a (b 2 b ), ḃ = 2(a 2 a 2 ), a = a = This system in turn is equivalent to ȧ = a (b b ), ḃ = 2a 2, ḃ = 2a 2 (34) with respet to a, b, and b Let us take initial onditions in the form a () = i, b () = λ +, b () = λ,
