R-MATRICES AND HAMILTONIAN STRUCTURES FOR CERTAIN LAX EQUATIONS

Abstract

In this paper a list of R-matrices on a certain coupled Lie algebra is obtained. With one of these R-matrices, we construct infinitely many bi-Hamiltonian structures for each of the two-component BKP and the Toda lattice hierarchies. We also show that, when such two hierarchies are reduced to their subhierarchies, these bi-Hamiltonian structures are reduced correspondingly.
