Davydov–Kyslukha model as the starting point in the development of integrable multi-component nonlinear dynamical systems on quasi-one-dimensional lattices

Abstract

The Davydov–Kyslukha nonlinear exciton-phonon model on a regular one-dimensional lattice is asserted to be the driving force for the development of integrable multi-component nonlinear dynamical systems encompassing excitonic, vibrational and orientational degrees of freedom. The two most representative quasi-one-dimensional integrable multi-component nonlinear systems inspired by the Davydov–Kyslukha model are presented explicitly in their concise Hamiltonian forms. The new six-subsystem integrable nonlinear model on a regular quasi-one-dimensional lattice is proposed and its derivation based upon the appropriate zero-curvature representation is presented. The constructive aspect of the famous Davydov motto is illustrated by the examples of semi-discrete integrable nonlinear dynamical systems canonicalizeable via the proper point transformations to the physically motivated field variables.
