Solvability of the direct and inverse problems for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (Q2487201)

The authors study the solvability for both the direct and inverse problems of the Dirac operator associated with the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. They review known results and techniques, as well as incorporating new ones, in a comprehensive, unified framework. They identify functional spaces in which both direct and inverse problems are well posed, have a unique solution and the corresponding direct and inverse maps are one to one.
