Solving the (2+1)-Dimensional Derivative Toda Equation

Abstract

The main objectives of this work are to deduce the Lax pair for the Modified Toda lattice hierarchy and to find whether there exists a transformation between (2+1)-dimensional derivative Toda lattice equation and Modified Toda equation. By a new spectral problem, we obtain the Modified Toda lattice hierarchy, furthermore we give the Hirota’s form solution for the Modified Toda lattice equation, thus the Hirota’s solution for the (2+1)-dimensional derivative Toda equation can also be attained correspondingly.
