Abstract:
We consider a hydrodynamic type system, waterbag model, that admits a dispersionless Lax representation with a logarithmic Lax function. Using the Lax representation, we construct a recursion operator of the system. We note that the constructed recursion operator is not compatible with the natural Hamiltonian representation of the system.
Keywords:recursion operator, hydrodynamic type systems, non-rational Lax representation.
