Integrability of nonlinear systems : proceedings of the CIMPA School, Pondicherry University, India, 8-26 January 1996 /

The theory of nonlinear systems and, in particular, of integrable systems is related to several very active fields of research in theoretical physics. Many mathematical aspects of nonlinear systems, both continuous and discrete, are analyzed here with particular emphasis on the domains of inverse-sc...
