Abstract
The present article is devoted to a systematic exposition of different methods of obtaining equations which are integrable by the inverse scattering method. The exposition begins with elementary methods and concludes with the method of dressing operator families. Many results (this refers both to the elementary part and in particular to the method of dressing) are original and published for the first time.
