Abstract
We study the general form of the equations for isotropic single-scaler , multi-scalar and dyonic p-branes in superstring theory and M-theory, and show that they can be cast into the form of Liouville, Toda (or T oda-like) equations. The general solutions describe non-extremal isotr opic p-branes, reducing to the previously-known extremal solutions in limiting cases. In the non-extremal case, the dilatonic scalar fields are finite at the outer event horizon.
