Description

It is shown that the notion of a prolongation structure can be extended to higher dimensions and used to determine inverse scattering problems. The relationship to generalized Lax representations is also considered. The method is illustrated on the self-dual Yang--Mills equations. A generalization to include Grassman algebra valued variables is shown to provide a scattering problem for the supersymmetric sine-Gordon equation
