Abstract
The quasiclassical limit of the scalar nonlocal δ̅ -problem is derived and a quasiclassical version of the δ̅-dressing method is presented. Dispersionless Kadomtsev– Petviashvili (KP), modified KP, and dispersionless two- dimensional Toda lattice (2DTL) hierarchies are discussed as illustrative examples. It is shown that the universal Whitham hierarchy is nothing but the ring of symmetries for the quasiclassical δ̅-problem. The reduction problem is discussed and, in particular, the d2DTL equation of B type is derived.
