This is a continuous counterpart of the pluri-Lagrangian (or Lagrangian multiform) theory of integrable lattice systems. We derive the multi-time Euler Lagrange equations in their full generality for hierarchies of two-dimensional systems, and construct a pluri-Lagrangian formulation of the potential Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-10-13T15:04:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "integrable hierarchies", "multi-time euler lagrange equations", "potential korteweg-de vries hierarchy", "lagrangian multiform", "integrable lattice systems" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151003724S" } } }
