Darboux transformations and global solutions for a nonlocal derivative nonlinear Schrodinger equation

Abstract: A nonlocal derivative nonlinear Schrodinger equation is introduced. By constructing its basic Darboux transformations of degrees one and two, the explicit expressions of new solutions are derived from seed solutions by Darboux transformation of degree 2n. Usually the derived solutions of this nonlocal equation may have singularities. However, by suitable choice of eigenvalues and the parameters describing the ratio of the two entries of the solutions of the Lax pair, global bounded solutions of the nonlocal derivative nonlinear Schrodinger equation are obtained from zero seed solution by a Darboux transformation of degree 2n.
