Supersymmetry and quantum mechanics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the theoretical formulation of supersymmetric quantum mechanics and discuss many applications, including shape invariance and operator transformations, and show that a supersymmetry inspired WKB approximation is exact for a class of shape invariant potentials.

A Simple model of the integrable Hamiltonian equation

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of analysis of the infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian equations which avoids the introduction of the Backlund transformation or the use of the Lax equation is suggested, based on the possibility of connecting in several ways the conservation laws of special Hamiltonian equation with their symmetries by using symplectic operators.

The soliton: A new concept in applied science

TL;DR: The term soliton has been coined to describe a pulselike nonlinear wave (solitary wave) which emerges from a collision with a similar pulse having unchanged shape and speed.

Integrals of Nonlinear Equations of Evolution and Solitary Waves

Peter D. Lax
TL;DR: In this article, a general principle for associating nonlinear equations evolutions with linear operators so that the eigenvalues of the linear operator integrals of the nonlinear equation can be found is presented, where the main tool used is the first remarkable series of integrals discovered by Kruskal and Zabusky.
