The structure of the Korteweg–de Vries hierarchy of evolution equations, generating isospectral transformations, is elucidated by means of a study of its recurrence relations. For the mth member of the KdV hierarchy, which can be written in the form Vt=−2Am+1,x, where the Ai satisfy the recurrence relation Am+1,x=VAm,x+ 1/2 AmVx− 1/4 Am,xxx, it is shown that Am is a homogeneous polynomial in ∂iV/∂xi. A general combinatorial formula for the coefficients of all the monomials entering Am, up to a set of constants determined by means of a recurrence relation, is derived.
