Abstract

Abstract We investigate dark solitons lying on elliptic function background in the defocusing Hirota equation with third-order dispersion and self-steepening terms. By means of the modified squared wavefunction method, we obtain the Jacobi’s elliptic solution of the defocusing Hirota equation, and solve the related linear matrix eigenvalue problem on elliptic function background. The elliptic N-dark soliton solution in terms of theta functions is constructed by the Darboux transformation and limit technique. The asymptotic dynamical
behaviors for the elliptic N-dark soliton solution as t → ±∞ are studied. Through numerical plots of the elliptic one-, two- and three-dark solitons, the amplification effect on the velocity of elliptic dark solitons, and the compression effect on the soliton spatiotemporal distributions produced by the third-order dispersion and self-steepening terms are discussed.
