The original idea is due toC. S. Gardner, J. M. Greene, M. D. Kruskal andR. M. Miura:Phys. Rev. Lett.,19, 1095 (1967). For the approach used below see:F. Calogero:Lett. Nuovo Cimento,14, 443 (1975);F. Calogero andA. Degasperis:Nuovo Cimento,32 B, 201 (1976);39 B, 1 (1977).

A direct derivation of (27) obtains setting φ(x)=x in eq. (2.13) of the paper byF. Calogero: inStudies in Mathematical Physics, edited byE. H. Lieb, B. Simon andA. S. Wightman (Princeton, N. J., 1976), p. 107.
