Factorization: little or great algorithm?

Bogdan Mielnik and Oscar Rosas-Ortiz

Abstract

The progress of the factorization method since the 1935 work of Dirac is briefly reviewed. Though linked with older mathematical theories the factorization seems an autonomous 'driving force', offering substantial support to the present day Darboux and Bäcklund approaches.
