Abstract

Integrability condition of Hamiltonian perturbations of integrable Hamiltonian PDEs of hydrodynamic type up to the second-order approximation is considered. Under a nondegeneracy assumption, we show that the Hamiltonian perturbation at the first-order approximation is integrable if and only if it is trivial, and that under a further assumption, the Hamiltonian perturbation at the second-order approximation is integrable if and only if it is quasi-trivial.
