This book explores in detail the connections between self-duality and integrability, and also the application of twistor techniques to integrable systems. It\n\u003cbr\u003ehas two central themes: first, that the symmetries of self-duality equations provide a natural classification scheme for integrable systems; and second that twistor theory provides a uniform geometric\n\u003cbr\u003eframework for the study of B¨acklund tranformations, the inverse scattering method, and other such general constructions of integrability theory, and that it elucidates the connections between them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43972402479342,"sku":"9780198534983","price":391.1,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198534983.jpg?v=1706226840","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/integrability-self-duality-and-twistor-theory","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
