Abstract:

The Marchenko integral equation for the Schrödinger equation on the whole line is analysed in the framework of the Fredholm theory and its solution, the Schrödinger potential, is given in terms of the Fredholm determinant. The evolution of the potential due to the evolution of the scattering data is proved to produce the solution of the Cauchy problem of the Korteweg-de Vries equation for smooth, rapidly decreasing initial value. A similarity law of the solution is presented.
