General Zakharov-Shabat equations without Lax operators
Abstract
The operators in the Zakharov-Shabat equations of integrable hierarchies are usually defined from the Lax operators. In this article it is shown that the Zakharov-Shabat equations themselves recover the Lax operators under suitable change of independent variables in the case of the KP hierarchy and the modified KP hierarchy (in the matrix formulation).
