In the present paper, we propose a complex short pulse equation and a coupled complex short equation to describe ultra-short pulse propagation in optical fibers. They are integrable due to the ...existence of Lax pairs and infinite number of conservation laws. Furthermore, we find their multi-soliton solutions in terms of pfaffians by virtue of Hirota’s bilinear method. One- and two-soliton solutions are investigated in details, showing favorable properties in modeling ultra-short pulses with a few optical cycles. Especially, same as the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation, there is an interesting phenomenon of energy redistribution in soliton interactions. It is expected that, for the ultra-short pulses, the complex and coupled complex short pulses equation will play the same roles as the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation.

We construct the multi‐breather solutions of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) on the background of elliptic functions by the Darboux transformation, and express them in terms of the ...determinant of theta functions. The dynamics of the breathers in the presence of various kinds of backgrounds such as dn, cn, and nontrivial phase‐modulating elliptic solutions are presented, and their behaviors dependent on the effect of backgrounds are elucidated. We also determine the asymptotic behaviors for the multibreather solutions with different velocities in the limit t→±∞, where the solution in the neighborhood of each breather tends to the simple one‐breather solution. Furthermore, we exactly solve the linearized NLSE using the squared eigenfunction and determine the unstable spectra for elliptic function background. By using them, the Akhmediev breathers arising from these modulational instabilities are plotted and their dynamics are revealed. Finally, we provide the rogue wave and higher order rogue wave solutions by taking the special limit of the breather solutions at branch points and the generalized Darboux transformation. The resulting dynamics of the rogue waves involves rich phenomena, depending on the choice of the background and possessing different velocities relative to the background. We also provide an example of the multi‐ and higher order rogue wave solution.
The Darboux transformation (DT) for the coupled complex short pulse (CCSP) equation is constructed through the loop group method. The DT is then utilized to construct various exact solutions ...including bright-soliton, dark-soliton, breather and rogue wave solutions to the CCSP equation. In case of vanishing boundary condition (VBC), we perform the inverse scattering analysis. Breather and rogue wave solutions are constructed under non-vanishing boundary condition (NVBC). Moreover, we conduct a modulational instability (MI) analysis based on the method of squared eigenfunctions, whose result confirms the condition for the existence of rogue wave solution.
•Darboux transformation for the coupled complex short pulse equation is derived.•The inverse scattering analysis for the vanishing background is given.•The modulational instability analysis for the plane wave is obtained.•The multi-hump solitons, high order solitons and rogue waves are constructed.
In the present paper, we are concerned with the general analytic solutions to the complex short pulse (CSP) equation including soliton, breather and rogue wave solutions. With the aid of a ...generalized Darboux transformation, we construct the N-bright soliton solution in a compact determinant form, the N-breather solution including the Akhmediev breather and a general higher order rogue wave solution. The first and second order rogue wave solutions are given explicitly and analyzed. The asymptotic analysis is performed rigorously for both the N-soliton and the N-breather solutions. All three forms of the analytical solutions admit either smoothed-, cusped- or looped-type ones for the CSP equation depending on the parameters. It is noted that, due to the reciprocal (hodograph) transformation, the rogue wave solution to the CSP equation can be a smoothed, cusponed or a looped one, which is different from the rogue wave solution found so far.
•We construct a generalized Darboux transformation (gDT) to the CSP and CCD equations.•We derive multi-bright soliton solution to the CSP equation based on the gDT.•We construct a single and multi-breather solutions to the CSP equation.•First and higher order rogue wave solutions to the CSP equation are constructed.
In the present paper, we are concerned with the link between the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili–Toda (KP–Toda) hierarchy and the massive Thirring (MT) model. First, we bilinearize the MT model under both the ...vanishing and nonvanishing boundary conditions. Starting from a set of bilinear equations of two‐component KP–Toda hierarchy, we derive multibright solution to the MT model. Then, considering a set of bilinear equations of the single‐component KP–Toda hierarchy, multidark soliton and multibreather solutions to the MT model are constructed by imposing constraints on the parameters in two types of tau function, respectively. The dynamics and properties of one‐ and two‐soliton for bright, dark soliton and breather solutions are analyzed in details.
In this paper, we consider the robust inverse scattering method for the Ablowitz–Ladik (AL) equation on the non-vanishing background, which can be used to deal with arbitrary-order poles on the ...branch points and spectral singularities in a unified way. The Darboux matrix is constructed with the aid of loop group method and considered within the framework of robust inverse scattering transform. Various soliton solutions are constructed without using the limit technique. These solutions include general soliton, breathers, as well as high order rogue wave solutions.
•The robust inverse scattering transform of AL equation was derived.•The Riemann–Hilbert representation of Darboux matrix was given.•The distinct types of solitonic solutions were constructed.•The asymptotic analysis of multi-breathers was analyzed.•The sufficient conditions of highest peak for solitonic solutions were obtained.
Nonlocal reverse space‐time Sine/Sinh‐Gordon type equations were recently introduced. They arise from a remarkably simple nonlocal reduction of the well‐known AKNS scattering problem, hence, they ...constitute an integrable evolution equations. Furthermore, the inverse scattering transform (IST) for rapidly decaying data was also constructed. In this paper, the IST for these novel nonlocal equations corresponding to nonzero boundary conditions (NZBCs) at infinity is presented. The NZBC problem is more complex due to the intricate branching structure of the associated linear eigenfunctions. Two cases are analyzed, which correspond to two different values of the phase at infinity. Special soliton solutions are discussed and explicit 1‐soliton and 2‐soliton solutions are found. Both spatially independent and spatially dependent boundary conditions are considered.
