Mixed single, double, and triple poles solutions for the space-time shifted nonlocal DNLS equation with nonzero boundary conditions via Riemann–Hilbert approach

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the space-time shifted nonlocal derivative nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equation under nonzero boundary conditions using the Riemann–Hilbert (RH) approach for the first time. To begin with, in the direct scattering problem, we analyze the analyticity, symmetries, and asymptotic behaviors of the Jost eigenfunctions and scattering matrix functions. Subsequently, we examine the coexistence of N-single, N-double, and N-triple poles in the inverse scattering problem. The corresponding residue conditions, trace formulae, θ condition, and symmetry relations of the norming constants are obtained. Moreover, we derive the exact expression for the mixed single, double, and triple poles solutions with the reflectionless potentials by solving the relevant RH problem associated with the space-time shifted nonlocal DNLS equation. Furthermore, to further explore the remarkable characteristics of soliton solutions, we graphically illustrate the dynamic behaviors of several representative solutions, such as three-soliton, two-breather, and soliton-breather solutions. Finally, we analyze the effects of shift parameters through graphical simulations.
