Abstract
With a special gauge transformation, the Lax pair of the derivative nonlinear Shcrödinger (DNLS) equation turns to depend on the squared parameter λ = k 2 instead of the usual spectral parameter k. By introducing a new direct product of Jost solutions, the complete Hamiltonian theory of the DNLS equation is constructed on the basis of the squared spectral parameter, which shows that the integrability completeness is still preserved. This result will be beneficial to the further study of the DNLS equation, such as the direct perturbation method.
