Renormalization of the τ-functions for integrable systems: A model problem

Publication ,  Journal Article

January 1, 1998

We introduce a renormalization procedure for the τ-function of integrable systems. We illustrate the procedure using the supercritical Toda shock problem as a model problem. We start with a finite chain and take the limit of the solution as the number of particles N → ∞. This results in a new formula for the τ-function for the problem with an infinite chain. We apply the renormalized formula to rederive leading-order effects of the supercritical Toda shock problem. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
