Resonantly coupled nonlinear evolution equations

Abstract
A differential matrix eigenvalue problem is used to generate systems of nonlinear evolution equations. They model triad, multitriad, self-modal, and quartet wave interactions. A nonlinear string equation is also recovered as a special case. A continuum limit of the eigenvalue problem and associated evolution equations are discussed. The initial value solution requires an investigation of the corresponding inverse-scattering problem.
