Darboux covariant Lax pairs and infinite conservation laws of the (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation

In this paper, the binary Bell polynomials are applied to succinctly construct bilinear formulism, bilinear Backlund transformations, Lax pairs, and Darboux covariant Lax pairs for the (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation. An extra auxiliary variable is introduced to get the bilinear formulism. The infinitely local conservation laws of the equation are found by virtue of its Lax equation and a generalized Miura transformation. All conserved densities and fluxes are given with explicit recursion formulas. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3545804]
