In this paper we present a vectorial Darboux transformation, in terms of ordinary determinants, for the supersymmetric extension of the Korteweg-de Vries equation proposed by Manin and Radul. It is shown how this transformation reduces to the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Soliton type solutions are constructed by dressing the vacuum and we present some relevant plots. * On leave of absence from Beijing Graduate School, CUMT,

We reduce the vectorial binary Darboux transformation for the Manin-Radul supersymmetric KdV system in such a way that it preserves the Manin-Radul-Mathieu supersymmetric KdV equation reduction. Expressions in terms of bosonic Pfaffians are provided for transformed solutions and wave functions. We also consider the implications of these results for the supersymmetric sine-Gordon equation. q

The vectorial extension of the Ribaucour transformation for the Lamé equations of orthogonal conjugates nets in multidimensions is given. We show that the composition of two vectorial Ribaucour transformations with appropriate transformation data is again a vectorial Ribaucour transformation, from which it follows the permutability of the vectorial Ribaucour transformations. Finally, as an example we apply the vectorial Ribaucour transformation to the Cartesian background. * On leave of absence from Beijing Graduate School, CUMT,

We consider the vectorial approach to the binary Darboux transformations for the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy in its ZakharovShabat formulation. We obtain explicit formulae for the Darboux transformed potentials in terms of Grammian type determinants. We also study the n-th Gel'fand-Dickey hierarchy introducing spectral operators and obtaining similar results. We reduce the above mentioned results to the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili I and II real forms, obtaining corresponding vectorial Darboux transformations. In particular for the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili I hierarchy we get the line soliton, the lump solution and the Johnson-Thompson lump, and the corresponding determinant formulae for the non-linear superposition of several of them. For Kadomtsev-Petviashvili II apart from the line solitons we get singular rational solutions with its singularity set describing the motion of strings in the plane. We also consider the I and II real forms for the Gel'fand-Dickey hierarchies obtaining the vectorial Darboux transformation in both cases. * On leave of absence from Beijing Graduate School, CUMT,
