Abstract It is well known that the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy (KP hierarchy) is compatible with generalized k-constraints of the type ( LL) _ = qX’r. Those constraints are leading to integrable systems in 1 + 1 dimensions such as the AKNS system (k = 1) or the Yajima-Oikawa system (k = 2). The effect of the l-constraint on the r-function of the KP hierarchy has been studied: it adds trilinear equations to the set of bilinear ones. In this paper we shall derive a quattro and a quintolinear equation for the r-function of the KP hierarchy under the 2-constraint.

(we prepare p[ for the later convenience). Note that pa(t) = 1, pt(t) =x, pz(t) =x2/2+ t2 and p3(t) = x3/6 + xt2 + f3. The r-function depending upon the infinite set of variables t is governed by Hirota’s equations which form an infinite set of bilinear equations. (See Refs. [ l-41 as a general reference for Sato’s theory.)
2. The KP hierarchy and k-constraints It is well-known that the KP hierarchy ( 1.1) is compatible with generalized k-constraints of the form ( Lk)_ = qCY;lr,
(2.1)
which are leading to ( 1 + 1)-dimensional integrable hierarchies,
(L9,”= W,L"_l,
(2.2)
qt, = (L”)+%
(2.3)
rt. = -(L*“)+r
(2.4)
(where L* is the adjoint of L) [5-g]. The first three of those hierarchies are formed by the AKNS (k = 1)) Yajima-Oikawa (k = 2) and a coupled Boussinesq-type (k = 3) hierarchy. Let us write down the first two members of the AKNS and the Yajima-Oikawa hierarchy, respectively, qtz = qxx + 2q2r,

rt2 = -rxx - 2qr2,

3. The trilinear form of the Jr&up-Broer system The Kaup-Broer

x* = -5.
h = qr, The following
related to he AKNS
I ansatz for obtaining
solutions
has been made in Ref. [ 111,
h = (logs),,,
(3.3)
hx* = ;[(hvL,~ - Uw~)n,l.
(3.4)
This ansatz becomes evident by the fact that Eq. (3.1) is nothing but the simplest equation of the KP hierarchy (l.l), namely U2,rz = (u2.x
So (3.1)
+ &lx.
is trivially
satisfied by (3.3))
(3.4)
and in addition
we obtain the following
trilinear
equation

(3.5)
4. Multilinear forms and k-constraints From a more general point of view the k-constraint was studied by using Sato’s equations ( 1.4) in Ref. [ 121. The impact of the constraint has been formulated there as equations constraining the coefficients of the operator W. In the l-constraint case the simplest constraining equation for the coefficients Wj reads -Wj,x $
+P2+(Wj) =O,
while in the 2-constraint P:(Wj)Wl,x
- Wj,t*T
(4.1)
case we have the following + T(Wj)
=09
simplest constraining
equation, (4.2)
where the operator T is given by T = -p3+ + V,,
+ dt, = p;
+ c+~,
(4.3)
see Ref. [ 121. The constraining Eqs. (4.1) and (4.2) are difficult to handle because according to ( 1.5) the r-function appears in the denominators. Therefore we aim at expressing the constraining equations in terms of differential operators acting on the r-function.

Finally, take two samples of Eq. (4.2) and consider them as a linear inhomogeneous system for the unknowns ~1,~ and qx/q. This gives the following conditions which will not be discussed further in this paper, T(wj)

By choosing two pairs of indices on the left-hand side of (4.7) and (4.8) we obtain further conditions to be satisfied by the r-function if we set the corresponding expressions equal to each other. In Ref. [ 121 it has been shown that (4.4) becomes equivalent with the trilinear form (3.5). The purpose of the present paper is to cast the condition (4.5) into the quintolinear form P,-(7)

Note the remarkable similarities between Eqs. (4.9) and (4.10). In Section 6 we shall outline the derivation of the quintolinear form (4.9) in detail. Since the quattrolinear form (4.10) can be obtained by quite analogous means we shall not present the details. We shall rather discuss an obvious difference of the forms (4.9) and (4.10) in Section 7.
5. Derivation of the trilinear form for the KaupBroer
system
We shall briefly demonstrate the steps leading from (4.4) to (3.5) in a way differing from the derivation given in Ref. [ 121. The advantage of our present method is that it can be carried to the 2-constraint case. Let us first take care of the denominators by calculating

We shall point out the difference between the quattrolinear form (4.9) and the quintolinear form (4.10) by considering r-functions of the unconstrained KP hierarchy given by [ I-41

By the obvious fact that p;(Wronskian(fl,

under (7.2), the quintolinear form (4.9) vanishes for r = Wronskian( f 1, f2). However, by straightforward calculations (which should be sustained by a computer algebra system) it turns out that, if fr, f2 satisfy (7.2) then (4.10) becomes
