The converse problem for the multipotentialisation of evolution equations and systems

• We propose a method to identify and classify evolution equations and systems that can be multipotentialised in given target equations or target systems. We refer to this as the converse problem. Although we mainly study a method for (1 + 1)-dimensional equations/system, we do also propose an extension of the methodology to higher-dimensional evolution equations. An important point is that the proposed converse method allows one to identify certain types of auto-Bäcklund transformations for the equations/systems. In this respect we define the triangular-auto-Bäcklund transformation and derive its connections to the converse problem. Several explicit examples are given. In particular, we investigate a class of linearisable third-order evolution equations, a fifth-order symmetry-integrable evolution equation as well as linearisable systems.
