Ma, can produce nonintegrable systems as well. This phenomenon is demonstrated and explained by the example of the enlarged spectral problem of the Korteweg - de Vries equation.11 pagesExactly Solvable and Integrable SystemsMathematical PhysicsAnalysis of PDEsEnlarged spectral problems and nonintegrabilitytext
