Show affiliationsIn the hard pulse approximation, commonly used in nuclear magnetic resonance, one considers potentials for the AKNS system that are sums of δ-functions. The system of differential equations does not, strictly speaking, make sense for such potentials. In Magland (2004 PhD Thesis (arXiv:0903.4363)) an analogous discrete forward and inverse problem is analyzed. We review these results and show that pulses obtained using the inverse scattering transform for this hard pulse approximation converge to the expected continuum potential both uniformly and in the L1-norm. We also show that the AKNS system makes sense with potentials that are non-atomic measures with finite total variation.
