Abstract
The vectorial extension of the Ribaucour transformation for the Lame equations bf orthogonal conjugate nets in multidimensions is given. We show that the composition of two vectorial Ribaucour transformations with appropriate transformation data is again a vectorial Ribaucour transformation, from which follows the permutability of the vectorial Ribaucour transformations. Finally, as an example we apply the vectorial Ribaucour transformation to the Cartesian background.
