Transformation and integrability of a generalized short pulse equation

Abstract By means of transformations to nonlinear Klein–Gordon equations, we show that a generalized short pulse equation is integrable in two (and, most probably, only two) distinct cases of its coefficients. The first case is the original short pulse equation (SPE). The second case, which we call the single-cycle pulse equation (SCPE), is a previously overlooked scalar reduction of a known integrable system of coupled SPEs. We get the Lax pair and bi-Hamiltonian structure for the SCPE and show that the smooth envelope soliton of the SCPE can be as short as only one cycle of its carrier frequency.
