A Numerical Study of the 3-Periodic Wave Solutions to Toda-Type Equations

Abstract

In this paper, we present an efficient numerical scheme to calculate N-periodic wave solutions to the Toda-type equations. The starting point is the algebraic condition for having N-periodic wave solutions proposed by Akira Nakamura. The basic idea is to formulate the condition as a nonlinear least square problem and then use the Gauss-Newton method to solve it. By use of this numerical scheme, we calculate the 3-periodic wave solutions to some discrete integrable equations such as the Toda lattice equation, the Lotka-Volterra equation, the differential-difference KP equation and so on.
