Ishimori equation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ishimori equation is a partial differential equation proposed by the Japanese mathematician Ishimori (1984). Its interest is as the first example of a nonlinear spin-one field model in the plane that is integrable (Sattinger, Tracy & Venakides 1991, p. 78).

Reductions

[edit]

The Ishimori equation admits an important reduction: in 1+1 dimensions it reduces to the continuous classical Heisenberg ferromagnet equation (CCHFE). The CCHFE is integrable.

Equivalent counterpart

[edit]

The equivalent counterpart of the Ishimori equation is the Davey-Stewartson equation.
