We consider the Darboux transformation as a method of construction of exact nonsingular solutions describing the three-dimensional brane that interacts with five-dimensional gravity and the bulk scalar field. To make it work, the five-dimensional Einstein's equations and the Israel's conditions are being reduced to the Schroedinger equation with the jump-like potential and the wave functions sewing conditions in jump point correspondingly. We show further that it is always possible to choose the functions in Crum's determinants in such way that the five-dimensional Ricci scalar R will always be finite both on brane and in bulk. The new exact solutions being the generalizations of the model with the odd superpotential are presented. Described formalism is also applicable to the cases of more realistic branes with cosmological expansion. As an example, via the usage of the simple orbifold model (S{sub 1}/Z{sub 2}) and one-time Darboux transformation we construct the models where the cosmological constant on the visible brane is exponentially small.
