I'm now reading The Korteweg-de Vries Equation: a survey of results,written by Robert M.Miura. When I read the part of inverse scattering method. It says: for the continuous spectrum, we can assume the eigenvalue $\lambda=k^2$ is a constant.I don't understand why he can make such assumption.Thanks.
