On recursion operators for full-fledged nonlocal symmetries of the reduced quasi-classical self-dual Yang-Mills equation (2310.11194v1)

Abstract: We introduce the idea of constructing recursion operators for full-fledged nonlocal symmetries and apply it to the reduced quasi-classical self-dual Yang-Mills equation. It turns out that the discovered recursion operators can be interpreted as infinite-dimensional matrices of differential functions which act on the generating vector-functions of the nonlocal symmetries simply by matrix multiplication. We investigate their algebraic properties and discuss the $\mathbb{R}$-algebra structure on the set of all recursion operators for full-fledged nonlocal symmetries of the equation in question. Finally, we illustrate the actions of the obtained recursion operators on particularly chosen full-fledged symmetries and emphasize their advantages compared to the actions of traditionally used recursion operators for shadows.
