We consider the algebraic setting of classical defects in discrete and continuous integrable theories. We derive the "equations of motion" on the defect point via the space-like and time-like description. We then exploit the structural…
We begin by considering several properties commonly (but not universally) possessed by B\"acklund transformations between hyperbolic Monge-Amp\`ere equations: wavelike nature of the underlying equations, preservation of independent…
