Double-pole soliton solutions of the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation with local and nonlocal nonlinearities under nonzero boundary conditions

Under study in this paper is a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with local and nonlocal nonlinearities, which originates from the parity-symmetric reduction of the Manakov system and has applications in some physical systems with the parity symmetry constraint between two fields/components. Via the Riemann–Hilbert method, the theory of inverse scattering transform with the presence of double poles is extended for this equation under nonzero boundary conditions (NZBCs). Also, the double-pole soliton solutions with NZBCs are derived in the reflectionless case. It is shown that the quasi-periodic beating solitons can be obtained when the double pole lies off the circle Γ centered at the origin with radius 2q0 (where q0 is the modulus of NZBCs) on the spectrum plane. Moreover, using the improved asymptotic analysis method, the asymptotic solitons are found to be located in some logarithmic curves of the xt plane.
