Abstract:
In this paper, we use the general Legendre transformation
to show the infinite dimensional integrable equations can be reduced
to a finite dimensional integrable Hamiltonian system on an invariant
set under the flow of the integrable equations. Then we obtain the
periodic or quasi-periodic solution of the equation. This generalizes
the results of Lax and Novikov regarding the periodic or
quasi-periodic solution of the KdV equation to the general case
of isospectral Hamiltonian integrable equation.
And finally, we discuss the AKNS hierarchy as a special example.
