Abstract

By solving the direct and inverse scattering problems for a rather ‘unconventional’ eigenvalue problem, we can solve the initial value problem for the sine‐Gordon equation entirely in laboratory coordinates. This allows us to extend and accurately define the class of initial value problems which can be solved by ‘inverse scattering transforms.’ Simple examples are given to illustrate both the direct and the inverse scattering methods.
