Simple factor dressings and Bianchi–Bäcklund transformations

Abstract

In this paper, we directly show the known equivalence of simple factor dressings of extended frames and the classical Bianchi–Bäcklund transformations for constant mean curvature surfaces. In doing so, we show how the parameters of classical Bianchi–Bäcklund transformations can be incorporated into the simple factor dressings method.
