Abstract

The local induction equation, or the binormal flow on space curves is a well-known model of deformation of space curves as it describes the dynamics of vortex filaments, and the complex curvature is governed by the non-linear Schrödinger equation. In this article, we present its discrete analogue, namely, a model of deformation of discrete space curves by the discrete non-linear Schrödinger equation. We also present explicit formulas for both smooth and discrete curves in terms of τ functions of the two-component KP hierarchy.
