A recursive construction of its solutions on the basis of a Riemann-Hilbert problem for the pair (L,M) of Lax and Orlov-Schulman operators is presented. The Riemann-Hilbert problem is converted to a set of recursion relations for the coefficients X_n of an \\hbar-expansion of the operator X = X_0 + \\hbar X_1 + \\hbar^2 X_2 +... for which the dressing operator W is expressed in the exponential form W = \\exp(X/\\hbar). Given the lowest order term X_0, one can solve the recursion relations to obtain the higher order terms. The wave function \\Psi associated with W turns out to have the WKB form \\Psi = \\exp(S/\\hbar), and the coefficients S_n of the \\hbar-expansion S = S_0 + \\hbar S_1 + \\hbar^2 S_2 +..., too, are determined by a set of recursion relations. This WKB form is used to show that the associated tau function has an \\hbar-expansion of the form \\log\\tau = \\hbar^{-2}F_0 + \\hbar^{-1}F_1 + F_2 + ...", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-09-07T14:20:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37K10" ], "keywords": [ "kp hierarchy", "recursive construction", "recursion relations", "hbar-expansion", "wkb form" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 841173, "adsabs": "2009arXiv0912.4867T" } } }
