Abstract: A new isospectral problem and the corresponding hierarchy of nonlinear evolution equations is presented. As a reduction, the well-known MKdV equation is obtained. It is shown that the hierarchy of equations is integrable in Liouville’s sense and possesses Bi-Hamiltonian structure. Under the constraint between the potentials and eigenfunctions, the eigenvalue problem can be nonlinearized as a finite dimensional completely integrable system.
