Summary: We present an extension of the spectral transform theory for solving initial-boundary value problems – describing the resonant interaction of radiation with matter – for arbitrary boundary values. The general method is only sketeched and it is illustrated here on a particularly representative example: the Stimulated Raman Scattering equations. We give the general solution for arbitrary boundary values. The natural boundary values (asymptotic state of the radiation) are shown to lead to a solution which blows up in finite time for any localized initial profile of the acoustic wave (initial state of the matter).
