A Mathematica program for calculating Hirota bilinear D-operator.

Intro

This Mathematica program may help you finding the bilinear form of certain equation, or quickly verifying your calculation result.

Four kinds of different definition of Hirota D-operator are defined in HirotaD.m

These four different definitions have different calling methods. You can choose the one you like.

Usage of different definitions

Just copy the definition of function into your project and run it.

The use of these functions is described below

Equation examples

Let's place some equations here for late use.

(1)

$$ \mathrm{D}_x \ f(x) \cdot g(x) $$

(2)

$$ \mathrm{D}^2_x \ f(x) \cdot g(x) $$

(3)

$$ \mathrm{D}_x\mathrm{D}^2_t \ f(x, t) \cdot g(x, t) $$

(4)

$$ \mathrm{D}_x \mathrm{D}_t \mathrm{D}_y \ f(x, t, y) \cdot g(x, t, y) $$

(5)

$$ (\mathrm{D}_x + \mathrm{D}_t + 1)f(x,t) \cdot g(x,t) $$

Function HirotaD

Definition

HirotaD[P(x, t, ...)][f, g] gives the multiple derivative $P(\mathrm{D}_x, \mathrm{D}_t, \dots)\ f \cdot g$, where $P(x, t, \dots)$ is a polynomial of $x, t, \dots$

Example

Eq. (1)-(5) defined above can be written as

(* 1 *)
HirotaD[x][f[x], g[x]]
(* 2 *)
HirotaD[x^2][f[x], g[x]] 
  or
HirotaD[x x][f[x], g[x]] 
(* 3 *)
HirotaD[x t^2][f[x, t], g[x, t]] 
(* 4 *)
HirotaD[x t y][f[x, t, y], g[x, t, y]]
(* 5 *)
HirotaD[x + t + 1][f[x, t], g[x, t]] 

Known problem

• Inside the function, variables (e.g. x) have intermediate form with argument (e.g x[1]). So when input function contain variable and it's function calling form (e.g. x and x[1]), HirotaD may cause miscalculation.
• Argument P will try to differentiate all symbols it have. So when P contains constant $C$, make sure $C$ has a value or change the definition to execlude specific symbol.

Function HirotaDD

(I know that this function name isn't good, you can rename it by yourself.)

Definition

HirotaD[P][f, g][x1, x2, ...], where

• f, g are functions that differentiated by $\mathrm{D}$,
• x1, x2, ... are independent variables and
• P is a pure function consisting of a polynomial with anonymous parameters representing the order of independent variables.

NOTE: f and g need to be functions in Mathematica and should have same arguments.

Example

Eq. (1)-(5) defined above can be written as

(* 1 *)
HirotaDD[#1 &][f, g][x]
(* 2 *)
HirotaDD[#1^2 &][f, g][x]
  or
HirotaDD[#1 #1 &][f, g][x]
(* 3 *)
HirotaDD[#1 #2^2 &][f, g][x, t]
(* 4 *)
HirotaDD[#1 #2 #3 &][f, g][x, t, y]
(* 5 *)
HirotaDD[#1 + #2 + 1 &][f, g][x, t]

Function Dop

Definition

Dop[x, y, ...][n, m, ...][f, g] gives the multiple derivative $\cdots \mathrm{D}_y^m\mathrm{D}_x^n\ f \cdot g$.

Example

Eq. (1)-(5) defined above can be written as

(* 1 *)
Dop[x][1][f[x], g[x]]
(* 2 *)
Dop[x][2][f[x], g[x]]
(* 3 *)
Dop[x, t][1, 2][f[x], g[x]]
(* 4 *)
Dop[x, t, y][1, 1, 1][f[x, t, y], g[x, t, y]]
(* 5 *)
Dop[x][1][f[x, t], g[x, t]] + Dop[t][1][f[x, t], g[x, t]] + 1

Function HD

The definition of HD is rely on Dop, so to use it, you have to define Dop first.

Definition

HD[f, g, {x, n}, {y, m}, ...] gives the multiple derivative $\cdots \mathrm{D}_y^m\mathrm{D}_x^n\ f \cdot g$.

{x, n} can be wrtten as x if n=1.

Example

Eq. (1)-(5) defined above can be written as

(* 1 *)
HD[f[x], g[x], x]
  or
HD[f[x], g[x], {x, 1}]
(* 2 *)
HD[f[x], g[x], {x, 2}]
(* 3 *)
HD[f[x], g[x], x, {t, 2}]
(* 4 *)
Dop[f[x, t, y], g[x, t, y], x, t, y]
(* 5 *)
HD[f[x, t], g[x, t], x] + HD[f[x, t], g[x, t], t] + 1

Warning

There is not guarantee that all functions will give the correct result all the time. (Though I believe they should be right.)

If you encounter any problems, feel free to create a issue.
