%0 Journal Article %T Reduction of bihamiltonian systems and separation of variables: an example from the Boussinesq hierarchy %A G. Falqui %A F. Magri %A G. Tondo %J Physics %D 1999 %I arXiv %R 10.1007/BF02551195 %X We discuss the Boussinesq system with $t_5$ stationary, within a general framework for the analysis of stationary flows of n-Gel'fand-Dickey hierarchies. We show how a careful use of its bihamiltonian structure can be used to provide a set of separation coordinates for the corresponding Hamilton--Jacobi equations. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/solv-int/9906009v1
