Towards an Inverse Scattering theory for non decaying potentials of the heat equation
The resolvent approach is applied to the spectral analysis of the heat equation with non decaying potentials. The special case of potentials with spectral data obtained by a rational similarity transformation of the spectral data of a generic decaying potential is considered. It is shown that these potentials describe $N$ solitons superimposed by Backlund transformations to a generic background. Dressing operators and Jost solutions are constructed by solving a DBAR-problem explicitly in terms of the corresponding objects associated to the original potential. Regularity conditions of the potential in the cases N=1 and N=2 are investigated in details. The singularities of the resolvent for the case N=1 are studied, opening the way to a correct definition of the spectral data for a generically perturbed soliton.

An integrable discretization of KdV at large times
An "exact discretization" of the Schroedinger operator is considered and its direct and inverse scattering problems are solved. It is shown that a differential-difference nonlinear evolution equation depending on two arbitrary constants can be solved by using this spectral transform and that for a special choice of the constants it can be considered an integrable discretization of the KdV equation at large times. An integrable difference-difference equation is also obtained.
