Abstract: A Darboux-type method of solving the nonlinear von Neumann equation idotho=[H,f(ho)], with functions f(ho) commuting with ho, is developed. The technique is based on a representation of the nonlinear equation by a compatibility condition for an overdetermined linear system. von Neumann equations with various nonlinearities f(ho) are found to possess the so-called self-scattering solutions. To illustrate the result we consider the Hamiltonian H of a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator and f(ho)=hoq−2hoq−1 with arbitary real q. It is shown that self-scattering solutions possess the same asymptotics for all q and that different nonlinearities may lead to effectively indistinguishable evolutions. The result may have implications for nonextensive statistics and experimental tests of linearity of quantum mechanics.
