If, "It is extremely important that the eigenvalue λ be independent of time", then what does, "Step 3. Determine the time evolution of the eigenvalues λ..." mean?

This article is incomprehensible rubbish, shouldn't it be better to take it away completely. Bas Michielsen 15:42, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is certainly poorly written. Some changes have been made to the first paragraphs but the section "Method of solution" requires a complete rewrite: still to be done.

Name of Article and Content

I believe this article should be renamed to Scattering Transform or Nonlinear Fourier Transform. One usually only calls the step Scattering Data -> Solution inverse scaterring. The article also requires major rewriting! E.g. scattering data as the reflection coefficient is completely missing, and also that it then solves linear odes!
