A vectorial Darboux transformation for integrable matrix versions of the Fokas-Lenells equation (2508.17534v1)

Abstract: Using bidifferential calculus, we derive a vectorial binary Darboux transformation for an integrable matrix version of the first negative flow of the Kaup-Newell hierarchy. A reduction from the latter system to an integrable matrix version of the Fokas-Lenells equation is then shown to inherit a corresponding vectorial Darboux transformation. Matrix soliton solutions are derived from the trivial seed solution. Furthermore, the Darboux transformation is exploited to determine in a systematic way exact solutions of the two-component vector Fokas-Lenells equation on a plane wave background. This includes breathers, dark solitons, rogue waves and "beating solitons".
