General soliton solutions to a reverse‐time nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Abstract

AbstractGeneral soliton solutions to a reverse‐time nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation are discussed via a matrix version of binary Darboux transformation. With this technique, searching for solutions of the Lax pair is transferred to find vector solutions of the associated linear differential equation system. From vanishing and nonvanishing seed solutions, general vector solutions of such linear differential equation system in terms of the canonical forms of the spectral matrix can be constructed by means of triangular Toeplitz matrices. Several explicit one‐soliton solutions and two‐soliton solutions are provided corresponding to different forms of the spectral matrix. Furthermore, dynamics and interactions of bright solitons, degenerate solitons, breathers, rogue waves, and dark solitons are also explored graphically.
