We propose a class of non-semisimple matrix loop algebras consisting of 3×3 block matrices,and form zero curvature equations from the presented loop algebras to generate bi-integrable couplings.Applications are made for the AKNS soliton hierarchy and Hamiltonian structures of the resulting integrable couplings are constructed by using the associated variational identities.
A class of non-semisimple matrix loop algebras consisting of triangular block matrices is introduced and used to generate bi-integrable couplings of soliton equations from zero curvature equations.The variational identities under non-degenerate,symmetric and ad-invariant bilinear forms are used to furnish Hamiltonian structures of the resulting bi-integrable couplings.A special case of the suggested loop algebras yields nonlinear bi-integrable Hamiltonian couplings for the AKNS soliton hierarchy.
