Abstract: An explicit construction of solutions of the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation given a solution of the (ordinary) Korteweg-de Vries equation is provided. Our theory is based on commutation methods (i.e., supersymmetry) underlying Miura's transformation that links solutions of the two evolution equations.
