∂̄-dressing approach and N-soliton solutions of the general reverse-space nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Abstract

Using the $\bar{\partial }$-dressing method, we study the general reverse-space nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger (nNLS) equation. Beginning with a 3 × 3 matrix $\bar{\partial }$-problem, the associated spatial and time spectral problems are obtained through two linear constraint equations. Furthermore, the gauge equivalence between the Heisenberg chain equation and the general reverse-space nNLS equation is established. By employing a recursive operator, a hierarchy for the general reverse-space nNLS equation is proposed. Moreover, by selecting a suitable spectral transformation matrix, the $N$-soliton solutions of the general reverse-space nNLS equation are calculated, yielding the explicit one-soliton and two-soliton solutions.
