The author first recalls that, according to a conjecture of \textit{E. Witten} [J. Differ. Geom., Suppl. 1, 243--310 (1991; Zbl 0808.32023)] proved by \textit{M. Kontsevich} [Commun. Math. Phys. 147, No.~1, 1--23 (1992; Zbl 0756.35081)], a generating function for intersection indices on the Deligne-Mumford moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces coincides with a tau-function of the Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy. The generating function is generalized under the name total descendent potential in the theory of Gromov-Witten invariants of symplectic manifolds. The author notices that the articles of \textit{A. B. Givental} [Mosc. Math. J. 1, No.~4, 551--568 (2001; Zbl 1008.53072)] and \textit{B. Dubrovin} and \textit{Y. Zhang} [\texttt{http://arxiv.org/abs/math.DG/0108160}] contain two equivalent constructions, motivated by some results in Gromov-Witten theory, which associate a total descendent potential to any semisimple Frobenius structure. Then, in the article under consideration the author demonstrates that, in the case of \textit{K. Saito}'s Frobenius structure [Publ. Res. Inst. Math. Sci. 29, No.~4, 535--579 (1993; Zbl 0828.15002)] the universal deformation of \(A_{n-1}\)-singularity, the total descendent potential is a tau-function of the \(n\)KdV hierarchy. The author derives this result from a more general construction for solutions of the \(n\)KdV hierarchy from \(n-1\) solutions of the KdV hierarchy. The paper is technically sound and could be very useful for the community engaged in nonlinear science.
