Backlund and Darboux Transformations

Geometry and Modern Applications in Soliton Theory

af C. (University of New South Wales Rogers

This book explores the profound connections between a ubiquitous class of physically important waves known as solitons and the theory of transformations of a privileged class of surfaces. Punctuated with exercises, it is suitable for use in higher undergraduate or graduate level courses directed at applied mathematicians or mathematical physics.
