Localized wave solutions of three-component defocusing Kundu-Eckhaus equation with 4x4 matrix spectral problem
Yanan Wang, Min Xue
TL;DR
This work addresses the defocusing three-component Kundu-Eckhaus equation by developing a binary Darboux transformation based on a $4\times4$ Lax pair and a gauge-reduced AKNS form to generate $N$-fold solutions. It yields explicit vector dark solitons, including second-order cases, and performs an asymptotic analysis to obtain far-field soliton components, confirming elastic inter-component interactions. Additionally, the method produces breather and Y-shaped breather solutions that arise from inter-component coupling, a feature absent in single-component systems. The results deepen the understanding of coupling-driven nonlinear wave phenomena in defocusing multi-component systems and provide a robust theoretical framework for future studies.
Abstract
This work focuses on three-component defocusing Kundu-Eckhaus equation, which serves as a significant coupled model for describing complex wave propagation in nonlinear optical fibers. By employing binary Darboux transformation based on 4x4 matrix spectral problem, we derive vector dark soliton solutions, and meanwhile, the exact expressions of asymptotic dark soliton components are obtained through an asymptotic analysis method. Furthermore, breather and Y-shaped breather solutions, absent from single-component defocusing kundu-Eckhaus systems, are obtained due to the mutual coupling effects between different components. The results significantly advance our understanding nonlinear wave phenomenon induced by coupling effects and provide a theoretical reference for subsequent studies on defocusing multi-component systems.
