[PAR] [TLE] Peter Lax [SEP] Peter David Lax (born 1 May 1926) is a Hungarian-born American mathematician working in the areas of pure and applied mathematics.  He has made important contributions to integrable systems, fluid dynamics and shock waves, solitonic physics, hyperbolic conservation laws, and mathematical and scientific computing, among other fields.  Lax is listed as an ISI highly cited researcher. [PAR] [TLE] Lax pair [SEP] In mathematics, in the theory of integrable systems, a Lax pair is a pair of time-dependent matrices or operators that satisfy a corresponding differential equation, called the "Lax equation".  Lax pairs were introduced by Peter Lax to discuss solitons in continuous media.  The inverse scattering transform makes use of the Lax equations to solve such systems.
