Compatible flat metrics

We solve the problem of description of nonsingular pairs of compatible flat metrics for the general N-component case. The integrable nonlinear partial differential equations describing all nonsingular pairs of compatible flat metrics (or, in other words, nonsingular flat pencils of metrics) are foun...
