The theory of soliton equations and integrable systems has
developed rapidly during the last 30 years with numerous
applications in mechanics and physics. For a long time, books in
this field have not been written but the flood of papers was
overwhelming: many hundreds, maybe thousands of them. All this
output followed one single work by Gardner, Green, Kruskal, and
Mizura on the Korteweg-de Vries equation (KdV), which had seemed to
be merely an unassuming equation of mathematical physics describing
waves in shallow water.Besides its obvious practical use, this
theory is attractive also because it satisfies the aesthetic need
in a beautiful formula which is so inherent to mathematics.The
second edition is up-to-date and differs from the first one
considerably. One third of the book (five chapters) is completely
new and the rest is refreshed and edited.
