Abstract
We consider the reflectionless transport of solitons in networks. The system is modeled in terms of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on metric graphs, for which transparent boundary conditions at the branching points are imposed. This allows to derive simple constraints, which link equivalent usual Kirchhoff-type vertex conditions to the transparent ones. Our approach is applied to a metric star graph. An extension to more complicated graph topologies is straight forward.
