Riemann-Hilbert approach for a mixed coupled nonlinear Schrödinger system and its soliton solutions

Abstract

In this work, we examine the integrable mixed coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (mCNLS) system, which describe the propagation of an optical pulse in a birefringent optical fiber. By the Riemann-Hilbert(RH) approach, the N-soliton solutions of the mCNLS system can be expressed explicitly when the jump matrix of a specific RH problem is a $3\times 3$ unit matrix. As a special example, the expression of one- and two-soliton are displayed explicitly. More generally, as a promotion, an integrable generalized multi-component NLS system with its linear spectral problem be discussed. It is hoped that our results can help enrich the nonlinear dynamical behaviors of the mCNLS.
