A rigorous theory of the inverse scattering transform for the defocusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation with nonvanishing boundary values q +/- q0ei +/- as x +/- is presented. The direct problem is shown to be well posed for potentials q such that qx02010;q +/- L1,2(R +/-), for which analyticity properties of eigenfunctions and scattering data are established. The inverse scattering problem is formulated and solved both via Marchenko integral equations, and as a Riemann-Hilbert problem in terms of a suitable uniform variable. The asymptotic behavior of the scattering data is determined and shown to ensure the linear system solving the inverse problem is well defined. Finally, the triplet method is developed as a tool to obtain explicit multisoliton solutions by solving the Marchenko integral equation via separation of variables.

Inverse scattering transform for the complex coupled short-pulse equation

Aikaterini Gkogkou, Barbara Prinari, Bao-Feng Feng, A. David Trubatch

Summary: This paper develops the Riemann-Hilbert approach to the inverse scattering transform for the complex coupled short-pulse equation and obtains soliton solutions. The zoology of soliton solutions for the coupled system is richer than in the scalar case, including fundamental solitons, fundamental breathers, and composite breathers.

Solitons and soliton interactions in repulsive spinor Bose-Einstein condensates with nonzero background

Asela Abeya, Barbara Prinari, Gino Biondini, Panos G. Kevrekidis

Summary: The article investigates soliton solutions and interactions in a system of coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations modeling the dynamics in one-dimensional repulsive Bose-Einstein condensates. Multi-soliton solutions are compactly represented using the Inverse Scattering Transform. The study includes a detailed characterization of canonical and non-canonical forms of solutions, as well as the classification of one-soliton solutions and their relationships to spectral data in the Inverse Scattering Transform.

Manakov system with parity symmetry on nonzero background and associated boundary value problems

Asela Abeya, Gino Biondini, Barbara Prinari

Summary: We characterize the initial value problems for the defocusing Manakov system with nonzero background and spatial parity symmetry. The study reveals that the symmetries induced by parity are more complicated than in the scalar case, and the dark solitons and dark-bright solitons have specific symmetric properties.

A Matrix Schrodinger Approach to Focusing Nonlinear Schrodinger Equations with Nonvanishing Boundary Conditions

Francesco Demontis, Cornelis van der Mee

Summary: In this paper, we establish a connection between the scattering theory of the focusing AKNS system with equally sized nonvanishing boundary conditions and that of the matrix Schrodinger equation. By utilizing a (shifted) Miura transformation, the focusing matrix nonlinear Schrodinger equation is converted into a new nonlocal integrable equation. We propose a method to solve the reflectionless matrix nonlinear Schrodinger equation by applying the matrix triplet method and deriving the multisoliton solutions of the nonlocal equation.

From the AKNS system to the matrix Schrodinger equation with vanishing potentials: Direct and inverse problems

Francesco Demontis, Cornelis van der Mee

Summary: This paper relates the scattering theory of the focusing AKNS system with vanishing boundary conditions to that of the matrix Schrodinger equation. The corresponding Miura transformation converts the focusing matrix nonlinear Schrodinger equation into a new nonlocal integrable equation. By applying the matrix triplet method, the multisoliton solutions of the nonlocal integrable equation are obtained, proposing a new method to solve the matrix nonlinear Schrodinger equation.

Quaternion algebra approach to nonlinear Schrodinger equations with nonvanishing boundary conditions

Francesco Demontis, Cornelis van der Mee

Summary: In this article, quaternionic linear algebra and quaternionic linear system theory are applied to develop the inverse scattering transform theory for the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with nonvanishing boundary conditions. The soliton solutions are also determined using triplets of quaternionic matrices.

Inverse Scattering Transform for Nonlinear Schrodinger Systems on a Nontrivial Background: A Survey of Classical Results, New Developments and Future Directions

Barbara Prinari

Summary: This topical review paper provides a survey of classical and more recent results on the inverse scattering transform (IST) for one-dimensional scalar, vector and square matrix NLS systems with physically relevant non-zero boundary conditions at space infinity. It discusses new developments and applications, and offers perspectives on future directions in this field.

p-star models, mean-field random networks, and the heat hierarchy

Gino Biondini, Antonio Moro, Barbara Prinari, Oleg Senkevich

Summary: In this study, the mean-field analog of the p-star model for homogeneous random networks is compared with the p-star model and its classical mean-field approximation in the thermodynamic regime. It is shown that the partition function of the mean-field model satisfies a sequence of partial differential equations known as the heat hierarchy, and the models connectance is obtained as a solution of a hierarchy of nonlinear viscous PDEs.
