Abstract

A relation between the Goldstein-Petrich hierarchy for plane curves and the Toda lattice hierarchy is investigated. A representation formula for plane curves is given in terms of a special class of τ\tau-functions of the Toda lattice hierarchy. A representation formula for discretized plane curves is also discussed.
