Abstract.
We provide a comprehensive treatment of the single and double commutation method as a tool for constructing soliton solutions of the Toda and Kac–van Moerbeke hierarchy on arbitrary background. In addition, we present a novel construction based on the single commutation method. As an illustration we compute the N-soliton solution of the Toda and Kac–van Moerbeke hierarchy.
