MW2: Perturbative techniques for integrable systems


Coordinator: Eugene Ferapontov (Loughborough University)

A useful point of view is to consider various classes of integrable equations as higher order perturbations of "simpler", or lower order equations. This includes such techniques as

  1. the theory of degenerate dispersion laws, which is a basis of the perturbative symmetry approach;
  2. dispersive deformations of equations of hydrodynamic type;
  3. the method of normal forms and asymptotic integrability, etc.

The aim of this mini-workshop is to review the current state of the art in this field.
