✦ Synopsis

Hirota invented his bilinear or direct method in the early 1970s as a way of constructing soliton solutions without dealing with the cumbersome inverse scattering transform. His invention has since come to the Kyoto School and became connected with affine Lie algebras, but here Hirota explains the more modern version of the method, in which solutions are expressed in the form of determinants and pfaffians. Hirota covers elementary properties of linear and nonlinear waves and eave expressions, the properties of determinants and pfaffians, and gives examples of soliton equations, finishing with a discussion of BΓ€cklund transforms.

The bilinear, or Hirota's direct, method was invented in the early 1970s as an elementary means of constructing soliton solutions that avoided the use of the heavy machinery of the inverse scattering transform and was successfully used to construct the multisoliton solutions of many new equations.

The main characteristic of this now classic exposition of the inverse scattering method and its applications to soliton theory is its consistent Hamiltonian approach to the theory. The nonlinear Schr?dinger equation, rather than the (more usual) KdV equation, is considered as a main example. The inv
