COUPLING INTEGRABLE COUPLINGS

Abstract

Integrable couplings are presented by coupling given integrable couplings. It is shown that such coupled integrable couplings can possess zero curvature representations and recursion operators, which yield infinitely many commuting symmetries. The presented zero curvature equations are associated with Lie algebras, each of which has two sub-Lie algebras in form of semi-direct sums of Lie algebras.
