The Darbroux transformation is generalized for time-dependent Hamiltonian systems which include a term linear in momentum and a time-dependent mass. The formalism for the $N$-fold application of the transformation is also established, and…
Quasi-periodic solutions of a nonlinear periodic polyharmonic equation in $\R^n$, $n>1$, are studied. It is proven that there is an extensive "non-resonant" set ${\mathcal G}\subset \R^n$ such that for every $\vec k\in \mathcal G$ there is…
