The Cauchy problem for the generalized hyperbolic Novikov-Veselov equation via the Moutard symmetries

Abstract

We begin by introducing a new procedure for construction of the exact solutions to Cauchy problem of the real-valued (hyperbolic) Novikov-Veselov equation which is based on the Moutard symmetry. The procedure shown therein utilizes the well-known Airy function $\Ai(\xi)$ which in turn serves as a solution to the ordinary differential equation $\frac{d^2 z}{d \xi^2} = \xi z$. In the second part of the article we show that the aforementioned procedure can also work for the $n$-th order generalizations of the Novikov-Veselov equation, provided that one replaces the Airy function with the appropriate solution of the ordinary differential equation $\frac{d^{n-1} z}{d \xi^{n-1}} = \xi z$.
