    As it is well known that by means of inverse scattering method a great variety of two-dimensional nonlinear differential equations was solved, such as the Korteweg-de Vries, the sine-Gordon equations, etc. The main ingredient of inverse scattering method is the corresponding linear problem. We have to find a corresponding overdetermined linear system of equations whose consistency conditions coincide with the given nonlinear equation. In the referring paper the supersymmetrical Yang-Mills theory in real four-dimensional space-time is considered and a corresponding linear system is proposed. To this end it is crucial to work in superspace, i.e., to use not only ordinary commuting coordinates, but also anticommuting ones. By means of this linear system an infinite number of conservation laws for the supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory is found. The quantum supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory is very interesting due to the remarkable cancellation of the ultraviolet divergences.
