Abstract

K2S2T[5] recently derived a new order wave equation , and thereby found a llnear problem and an auto-Backlund transformation for it, and conjectured its integrability in the usual sense. We prove this conjecture by constructing an infinite commuting hierarchy KdVn with a common infinite set of conserved densities. A general construction is presented applicable to any bi-Hamiltonian system (such as all standard Lax equations, continuous and discrete) providing a nonholonomic perturbation of it. This perturbation is conjectured to preserve integrability. That conjecture is verified in a few representative cases: the classical long-wave equations, the Toda lattice (both continuous and discrete), and the Euler top.
