These systems can be described as the integrability conditions of $\mathfrak{g}$-valued linear problems, with $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{sl}(2,\R)$ or $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{su}(2)$, when $K=-1$, $K=1$, respectively. We obtain characterization and also classification results. Applications of these results provide new examples and new families of such systems, which also contain systems of coupled KdV and mKdV-type equations and nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Additionally, this theory is applied to derive a Bäcklund transformation for the coupled KdV system.
