Abstract
A starting and basic point of the inverse spectral transform (IST) method is the representation of the given nonlinear partial differential equation as the compatibility condition of some nontrivial linear system
where L 1 and L 2 are usually differential operators the coefficients of which depend on the field U(x,t), U x , U xx ,... and spectral parameter λ (see e.g. [1–4]). Integrable equation for U arises after the elimination of the eigenfunction Ψ from the system (1) [1–4].
