Hamiltonian methods in the theory of solitons. Transl. from the Russian by A. G. Reyman (Q885256)

This is a reprint of the original 1987 edition (see Zbl 0632.58004). The Russian original was reviewed in Zbl 0632.58003. This fantastic book definitely deserves to be included in Springer's Classics in Mathematics series as it represents a milestone in dynamical systems literature. For convenience of the readers who are not aware of this book yet, we give the table of contents: Part I. Nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Chapter 1. Representation of zero curvature. Chapter 2. Riemann problem. Chapter 3. Hamiltonian formulation. Part II. General theory of integrable evolution equations. Chapter 1. Main examples and their general properties. Chapter 2. Fundamental continuous models. Chapter 3. Fundamental models on a lattice. Chapter 4. Lie-algebraic approach to the classification and investigation of integrable models.
