The planar filament equation
Abstract
Description
The planar filament equation and its relation to the modified Korteweg-deVries equation are studied in the context of Poisson geometry. The structure of the planar filament equation is shown to be similar to that of the 3-D localized induction equation, previously studied by the authors.
