Multisoliton solutions with even numbers and its generated solutions for nonlocal Fokas–Lenells equation

Abstract

Abstract In this letter, we investigate multisoliton solutions with even numbers and its generated solutions for nonlocal Fokas–Lenells equation over a nonzero background. First, we obtain 2n-soliton solutions with a nonzero background via n-fold Darboux transformation, and find that these soliton solutions will appear in pairs. Particularly, 2n-soliton solutions consist of n ‘bright’ solitons and n ‘dark’ solitons. This phenomenon implies a new form of integrability: even integrability. Then interactions between solitons with even numbers and breathers are studied in detail. To our best knowledge, a novel nonlinear superposition between a kink and 2n-soliton is also generated for the first time. Finally, interactions between some different smooth positons with a nonzero background are derived.
