Abstract
The ADHM formalism is adapted to self-dual multimonopoles for arbitrary charge and arbitrary gauge group. Each configuration is characterized by a solution of a certain ordinary non-linear differential equation, which has chances to be completely integrable. For axially symmetric configurations it reduces to the integrable Toda lattice equations. The construction of the potential requires the solution of a further ordinary linear differential equation.
