Ebook: Dirac Structures and Integrability of Nonlinear Evolution Equations

An introduction to the area for non-specialists with an original approach to the mathematical basis of one of the hottest research topics in nonlinear science. Deals with specific aspects of Hamiltonian theory of systems with finite or infinite dimensional phase spaces. Emphasizes systems which occur in soliton theory. Outlines current work in the Hamiltonian theory of evolution equations.
