= Bäcklund transform
{c}
{synonym}
A parameter-dependent system of differential relations maps a solution of one differential equation to a solution of another, or to a new solution of the same equation. Compatibility of the relations supplies the equations of motion. Integration constants select a particular transformed field. The <Sine-Gordon Bäcklund transformation> is an example of an auto-transformation and also generates <conserved currents>.
