RESOLVENT APPROACH FOR 2-DIMENSIONAL SCATTERING PROBLEMS - APPLICATION TO THE NONSTATIONARY SCHRODINGER-PROBLEM AND THE KPI EQUATION

The resolvent operator of the linear problem is determined as the full Green function continued in the complex domain in two variables. An analog of the known Hilbert identity is derived. We demonstrate the role of this identity in the study of two-dimensional scattering. Considering the nonstationary Schrodinger equation as an example, we show that all types of solutions of the linear problem, as well as spectral data known in the literature, are given as specific values of this unique function - the resolvent function. A new form of the inverse problem is formulated.
