Title: A global factorization theorem for the ZS-AKNS system

Author: Derchyi Wu (Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan)
         
Abstract: 
  We prove a global Birkhoff factorization theorem for general
  loops with finite poles in the ZS-AKNS hierarchy
  (Zakharov-Shabat-Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur).
  We use the inverse scattering method.
