Bäcklund and Darboux transformations : geometry and modern applications in soliton theory /

"This book describes the connections that exist between the classical differential geometry of surfaces and modern soliton theory. The authors explore the body of literature from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by such eminent geometers as Bianchi, Darboux, Backlund, and Eisenhart...
