| contents | We introduce the concept of Hamiltonian potential variables to map Hamiltonian operators into symplectic operators in a dual space. This generalises the classical trick of switching to a potential variable to obtain a Lagrangian density for the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. Building on this concept, we present the Lagrangian structure for bi-Hamiltonian systems, discuss the Lenard scheme in the symplectic formalisms, and apply this to construct pairs of Lagrangian multiforms. We discuss the key model of the KdV equation and some dispersionless limits of it. We present a pair of Lagrangian multiforms for these equations, one of which is new. We also consider the examples of polytropic gas dynamics and the constant astigmatism equation, for which no Lagrangian multiforms were previously known. |
