Abstract:
The theory of commuting linear differential expressions has received a
lot of attention since Lax presented his description of the KdV
hierarchy by Lax pairs (P,L). Gesztesy and the present author have
established a relationship of this circle of ideas with the property
that all solutions of the differential equations
Ly=zy, z in C, are meromorphic. In this paper this
relationship is explored further by establishing its existence for
Gelfand-Dikii systems with rational and simply periodic coefficients.
