Phys. 31. 1919-1928 (1990). This author constructs a recursion operator and claims that an ad hoc extension of the biHamiltonian formalism is necessary for the treatment of the periodic case.

30. Here, and in the rest of the paper, we say that some property ℬ(σ), depending on an integer σ, holds for σ≫0 if there is κ∈ℤ such that ℬ(σ) is satisfied for each σ≥κ similarly, ℬ(σ) holds for σ≪0 if it is true for each σ below some κ. Other statements of a similar kind will appear in the sequel; for example, we will say that some property ℬ(α,β), depending on two integers, holds for β-α≫0 or for |β-α|≫0, with an obvious meaning.
31. The symplectic leaves are, by definition, the integral submanifolds of the distribution Im Q; as it is well known, a Poisson tensor can be properly restricted to anyone of its symplectic leaves, and the restriction is kernel free (see Ref. 20).

35. k are not zero for k≥;n + 2 (even though they are not functionally independent of the first n integrals and vector fields).
36. α= H′ for α odd. The condition on the average of r fixes the sum H + H′.
37. 0υ = 1. The sequence υ-a/K satisfies this condition due to the choice made for K.
