Soliton theory is an important branch of applied mathematics and mathematical physics. An active and productive field of research, it has important applications

In the 25 years of its existence Soliton Theory has drastically expanded our understanding of “integrability” and contributed a lot to the reunification of

Account of method of solving soliton equations by the inventor of the method.

The main characteristic of this classic exposition of the inverse scattering method and its applications to soliton theory is its consistent Hamiltonian approac
