In the 1980s the deeper significance of the tools used in this method - Hirota derivatives and the bilinear form - came to be understood as a key ingredient in Sato's theory and the connections with affine Lie algebras. The main part of this book concerns the more modern version of the method in which solutions are expressed in the form of determinants and pfaffians. While maintaining the original philosophy of using relatively simple mathematics, it has, nevertheless, been influenced by the deeper understanding that came out of the work of the Kyoto school. The book will be essential for all those working in soliton theory. 410 0$aCambridge tracts in mathematics ;$v155. 606 $aSolitons 615 0$aSolitons. 676 $a530.12/4 700 $aHirota$b Ryo?go$f1932-$0291230 702 $aNagai$b Atsushi 702 $aNimmo$b J.
