As a extended form of the NLS equation, the GI equation(1.1) is used to describe Alfve’n waves propagating parallel to the ambient magnetic field in plasma physics. The explicit soliton-like solutions for Eq.(1.1) are constructed via applying its Darboux transformation [4], and its algebro-geometric solutions are established according to the Riemann theta functions [5].

By using the nonlinear steepest descent method, the long-time asymptotic behavior for Eq.(1.1) was discussed in Refs. [10–12].

1. Introduction

The nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation is well known to be one of the most vital integrable systems, which hasbeen constantly reported in various fields such as nonlinear optics and water waves [1,2]. To describe more abundantphysical effects and research the effects of high-order perturbations, the Gerdjikov-Ivanov (GI) type of the derivativeNLS equations was also proposed as follows [3]

where the asterisk ∗ denotes the complex conjugation, u denotes transverse magnetic field perturbation function withspatial variable x and temporal variable t. As a extended form of the NLS equation, the GI equation(1.1) is used todescribe Alfve’n waves propagating parallel to the ambient magnetic field in plasma physics. The explicit soliton-likesolutions for Eq.(1.1) are constructed via applying its Darboux transformation [4], and its algebro-geometric solutionsare established according to the Riemann theta functions [5]. By the DT method, the breather wave and rogue wavesolutions of the GI equation are presented in Refs. [6, 7].

Recently, the RH method and Dbar-dressing method were used to construct simple polesolutions of the GI equation with NZBCs in Ref. [13] and Ref. [14], respectively.

to our knowledge, for the GI equation, the research using this idea for double and triple poles solutions under ZBCsand NZBCs has not been reported yet.

It is well known that the Lax pair of GI equation (1.1) can be given by

Φx = XΦ, Φt = TΦ, (1.2)

where

X = −ik2σ3 + kQ− i

2Q2σ3,

T = −2ik4σ3 + 2k3Q− ik2Q2σ3 − ikQxσ3 +1

2(QxQ−QQx) +

i

4Q4σ3, (1.3)

and

σ3 =

(1 00 −1

), Q =

(0 u−u∗ 0

), (1.4)

where k ∈ C is a spectral parameter, and Φ = Φ(x, t, k) is the 2 × 2 matrix-valued eigenfunction. Eq.(1.1) can bederived from the compatibility condition Xt − Tx + [X,T ] = 0 of system (1.2).

The outline of this paper is organized as follows: In section 2, we establish the RHP for the GI equation underZBCs by spectral analysis, and the potential function is shown by the solution of the RHP. In section 3, throughsolving the RHP, we obtain the explicit N -double poles soliton solutions for the reflection coefficients with doublepoles under ZBCs. Additionally, the general N -triple poles soliton solutions for the reflection coefficients with triplepoles under ZBCs are shown in section 4. In section 5, the RHP for the GI equation under NZBCs is presented viamore miscellaneous spectral problem analysis. Following that, the accurate N -double and N -triple poles solutionsunder NZBCs are given in section 6 and section 7, respectively. Finally, some summaries are given in the last section.

2. The construction of Riemann-Hilbert problem with ZBCs

The direct scattering problem for the GI equation (1.1) with ZBCs has been discussed in Ref. [16]. In this section,we will recall some results for the direct scattering problem for the targeted GI equation with following ZBCs atinfinity

limx→±∞

u(x, t) = 0. (2.1)

2.1. Spectral analysis. Let x→ ±∞, the Lax pair (1.2) under ZBCs (2.1) changes into

Φx = X0Φ = −ik2σ3, Φt = T0Φ = 2k2X0Φ, (2.2)

which admits the following fundamental matrix solution

Φbg(x, t; k) = e−iθ(x,t;k)σ3 , θ(x, t; k) = k2(x+ 2k2t). (2.3)

Defining Σ := R ∪ iR, the Jost solutions Φ±(x, t; k) can be written as

Φ±(x, t; k) = e−iθ(x,t;k)σ3 + o(1), k ∈ Σ, as x→ ±∞. (2.4)

Through the variable transformation

µ±(x, t; k) = Φ±(x, t; k)eiθ(x,t;k)σ3 , (2.5)

the modified Jost solutions µ±(x, t; k) will tend to I as x→ ±∞, and it can be solved as

µ±(x, t; k) = I +

∫ x

±∞e−ik

2(x−y)σ3

[(kQ− i

2Q2σ3)(y, t)µ±(y, t; k)

Proposition 2.1. Suppose u ∈ L1(R±), then µ±(x, t; k) given in Eq.(2.5) are unique solutions for the Jost integralequation (2.6) in Σ, and they satisfy the following characteristics:• µ−1(x, t; k) and µ+2(x, t; k) become analytical for D+ and continuous in D+ ∪ Σ;• µ+1(x, t; k) and µ−2(x, t; k) become analytical for D− and continuous in D− ∪ Σ;• µ±(x, t; k)→ I as k →∞;• detµ±(x, t; k) = 1, x, t ∈ R, k ∈ Σ.

D+ = {k ∈ C|RekImk > 0} (gray region), region D− = {k ∈ C|RekImk < 0} (white region).

Since the Jost solutions Φ±(x, t; k) are the simultaneous solutions of spectral problem (1.2), which satisfies followinglinear relation by the constant scattering matrix S(k) = (sij(k))2×2

Φ+(x, t; k) = Φ−(x, t; k)S(k), k ∈ Σ, (2.7)

∗(−k∗)σ1, and σ2 =

(0 −ii 0

), σ1 =

). The scattering coefficients

can be shown in what follows by Wronskians determinant

s11(k) = Wr(Φ+,1,Φ−,2), s12(k) = Wr(Φ+,2,Φ−,2),

s21(k) = Wr(Φ−,1,Φ+,1), s22(k) = Wr(Φ−,1,Φ+,2), (2.8)

where Wr(·, ·) denotes the Wronskian determinant. From these representations, it is not hard to get following propo-sition.Proposition 2.2. The scattering matrix S(k) satisfies:• detS(k) = 1 for k ∈ Σ;• s22(k) becomes analytical for D+ and continuous in D+ ∪ Σ;• s11(k) becomes analytical for D− and continuous in D− ∪ Σ;• S(x, t, k)→ I as k →∞.

2.2. The Riemann-Hilbert problem. In terms of the analytic properties of Jost solutions µ±(x, t; k) in Proposition2.1, we have the following sectionally meromorphic matrices

M−(x, t; k) = (µ+,1

s11, µ−,2), M+(x, t; k) = (µ−,1,

µ+,2

s22), (2.9)

where superscripts ± represent analyticity in D+ and D−, respectively. Naturally, a matrix RHP is proposed:Riemann-Hilbert Problem 1 M(x, t; k) solves the following RHP: M(x, t; k) is analytic in C \ Σ,

M−(x, t; k) = M+(x, t; k)(I −G(x, t; k)), k ∈ Σ,M(x, t; k)→ I, k →∞,

(2.10)

of which the jump matrix G(x, t; k) is

G =

(ρ(k)ρ(k) e−2iθ(x,t;k)ρ(k)

−e2iθ(x,t;k)ρ(k) 0

), (2.11)

where ρ(k) = s21(k)s11(k) , ρ(k) = s12(k)

s22(k) .

Taking

M(x, t; k) = I +1

kM (1)(x, t; k) +O(

k2), k →∞, (2.12)

then the potential u(x, t) of the GI equation (1.1) with ZBCs is denoted by

u(x, t) = 2iM(1)12 (x, t; k) = 2i lim

k→∞kM12(x, t; k). (2.13)

3. The solution of GI equation under ZBCs with double poles

In this section, we will discuss the inverse scattering problem with double poles discrete spectrum for the GIequation(1.1) under ZBCs, and present the general N -double poles solutions.

3.1. Inverse scattering problem with ZBCs and double poles. We suppose that s22(k) has N double zeroskn (n = 1, 2, · · · , N) in D0 = {k ∈ C : Rek > 0, Imk > 0}, which means s22(kn) = s′22(kn) = 0 and s′′22(kn) 6= 0.According to the symmetries relation of the scattering matrix, one has{

s22(kn) = s22(−kn) = s11(k∗n) = s11(−k∗n) = 0,s′22(kn) = s′22(−kn) = s′11(k∗n) = s′11(−k∗n) = 0.

(3.1)

Thus, the corresponding discrete spectrum can be collected as

Γ = {kn, k∗n,−k∗n,−kn}Nn=1 , (3.2)

whose distributions are displayed in Fig. 1.Since s22(k0) = 0 (k0 ∈ Γ∩D+), we easily know that Φ−1(x, t; k0) and Φ+2(x, t; k0) are linearly dependent. Similarly,

Φ+1(x, t; k0) and Φ−2(x, t; k0) are linearly dependent due to s11(k0) = 0 for k0 ∈ Γ ∩D−. That is to say

Φ+2(x, t; k0) = b[k0]Φ−1(x, t; k0), k0 ∈ Γ ∩D+,

Φ+1(x, t; k0) = b[k0]Φ−2(x, t; k0), k0 ∈ Γ ∩D−, (3.3)

where b[k0] is a norming constant. As well as, due to s′22(k0) = 0 in k0 ∈ Γ ∩ D+, we find that Φ′+2(x, t; k0) −b[k0]Φ′−1(x, t; k0) and Φ−1(x, t; k0) are linearly dependent. Analogously, Φ′+1(x, t; k0)−b[k0]Φ′−2(x, t; k0) and Φ−2(x, t; k0)are linearly dependent for k0 ∈ Γ ∩D−. Then, we obtain

Φ′+2(x, t; k0)− b[k0]Φ′−1(x, t; k0) = d[k0]Φ−1(x, t; k0), k0 ∈ Γ ∩D+,

Φ′+1(x, t; k0)− b[k0]Φ′−2(x, t; k0) = d[k0]Φ−2(x, t; k0), k0 ∈ Γ ∩D−, (3.4)

where d[k0] is also a norming constant. Therefore, one has

L−2k=k0

where L−2[f(x, t; k)] means the coefficient of O((k−k0)−2) term in the Laurent series expansion of f(x, t; k) at k = k0.

A[k0] =

2b[k0]s′′22(k0) , k0 ∈ Γ ∩D+

d[k0]b[k0] −

s′′′11(k0)3s′′11(k0) , k0 ∈ Γ ∩D−.

(3.7)

Proposition 3.1. Let k0 ∈ Γ, then the following symmetry relations are satisfied:• The first symmetry relation A[k0] = −A[k∗0 ]∗, B[k0] = B[k∗0 ]∗;• The second symmetry relation A[k0] = A[−k∗0 ]∗, B[k0] = −B[−k∗0 ]∗.

In order to solve the RHP conveniently, we take

ξn =

{kn, n = 1, 2, · · ·N−kn−N , n = N + 1, N + 2, · · · 2N. (3.8)

Then the residue and the coefficient L−2 of M(x, t; k) can be expressed as

Combining Eqs. (3.19), the expression of the double poles soliton solution can be derived. �

We will analyse the dynamical behaviors of the double poles soliton solution for GI equation with ZBCs. At thecase of N = 1, we display the following figures by choosing suitable parameters. From Fig.2 (a)(b), we easily find thatthe one-double poles soliton solution is actually a kind of bound-state soliton solution which represents the interactionof two bright soliton. Besides, the interaction between two bright soliton is an elastic collision with the shape and sizeof the soliton unchange. Fig. 2(c) presents the wave propagation along the x-axis at t = −5, 0, 5. Fig.3 displays the

4. The solution of GI equation under ZBCs with triple poles

In this section, we devote to derive the general N -triple poles solutions through discussing the inverse scatteringproblem with triple poles discrete spectrum for the GI equation(1.1) under ZBCs.

4.1. Inverse scattering problem with ZBCs and triple poles. The triple zeros kn (n = 1, 2, · · · , N) in D0 ={k ∈ C : Rek > 0, Imk > 0} mean s22(kn) = s′22(kn) = s′′22(kn) = 0 and s′′′22(kn) 6= 0. Be similar to the expressions(3.3), (3.4), and due to s′′22(k0) = 0 in k0 ∈ Γ ∩ D+, the Φ′′+2(x, t; k0) − b[k0]Φ′′−1(x, t; k0) − 2d[k0]Φ′−1(x, t; k0) andΦ−1(x, t; k0) are linearly dependent. Besides, Φ′′+1(x, t; k0) − b[k0]Φ′′−2(x, t; k0) − 2d[k0]Φ′−2(x, t; k0) and Φ−2(x, t; k0)are linearly dependent for k0 ∈ Γ ∩D−. Naturally, we get

Φ′′+2(x, t; k0)− b[k0]Φ′′−1(x, t; k0)− 2d[k0]Φ′−1(x, t; k0) = h[k0]Φ−1(x, t; k0), k0 ∈ Γ ∩D+,

Φ′′+1(x, t; k0)− b[k0]Φ′′−2(x, t; k0)− 2d[k0]Φ′−2(x, t; k0) = h[k0]Φ−2(x, t; k0), k0 ∈ Γ ∩D−, (4.1)

Proposition 4.1. Let k0 ∈ Γ, then the following symmetry relations are satisfied:• The first symmetry relation A[k0] = −A[k∗0 ]∗, B[k0] = B[k∗0 ]∗, C[k0] = C[k∗0 ]∗;

• The second symmetry relation A[k0] = −A[−k∗0 ]∗, B[k0] = −B[−k∗0 ]∗, C[k0] = C[−k∗0 ]∗.Then the residue, the coefficient L−2 and the coefficient L−3 of M(x, t; k) can be written as

Combining Eqs. (4.17), the triple poles soliton solution (4.16) can be given out. �

As a matter of convenience, we take N = 1 as a example to illustrate the correlative dynamic behavior for theone-triple poles soliton solution for GI equation with ZBCs (2.1). As we can see in Fig. 4, it displays the bright-bright-bright soliton solutions, which stands for the interaction of three bright soliton waves.

5. The construction of Riemann-Hilbert problem with NZBCs

The direct scattering problem for the GI equation (1.1) with NZBCs has been studied in Ref. [13,16]. In this section,we first recall some results for the direct scattering problem for the targeted GI equation with following NZBCs atinfinity

limx→±∞

u(x, t) = u±e− 3

where |u±| = u0 > 0, and u± are constant.

5.1. Spectral analysis. As x→ ±∞, the Lax pair (1.2) under the boundary (5.1) becomes

Φx = X±Φ = −ik2σ3 + kQ±, Φt = T±Φ = (2k2 − u20)X±, (5.2)

where

Q± =

(0 u±−u∗± 0

). (5.3)

The fundamental matrix solution of this lax pair is

Φbg± (x, t; k) =

{Y±(k)e−iθ(x,t;k)σ3 , k 6= ±iu0,I + (x− 3u2

0t)X±(k), k = ±iu0,(5.4)

where

Y± =

− iu∗±λ+k 1

), θ(x, t; k) = kλ[x+ (2k2 − u2

Introducing a uniformization variable z = k + λ, we obtain

k =1

2(z − u2

z), λ =

2(z +

which means that the scattering problem can be analysed on a standard z-plane instead of the two-sheeted Riemannsurface.

Defining D+, D− and Σ on z-plane as Σ = R∪ iR \ {0}, D± = {z ∈ C|RezImz ≷ 0} , the Jost solutions Φ±(x, t, ; z)are given by

Φ±(x, t; z) = Y±e−iθ(x,t;z)σ3 + o(1), z ∈ Σ, as x→ ±∞. (5.7)

After the variable transformation

µ±(x, t; z) = Φ±(x, t; z)eiθ(x,t;z)σ3 , (5.8)

the modified Jost solutions µ±(x, t; z) tend to Y±(z) as x → ±∞, and it also satisfy the following Volterra integralequations

where ∆X± = X −X±.Proposition 5.1. Suppose u − u± ∈ L1(R±), then µ±(x, t; z) given in Eq.(5.8) are unique solutions for the Jostintegral equation (5.9) in Σ0 = Σ \ {±iu0}, µ±(x, t; z) have the following characteristics:• µ−1(x, t; z) and µ+2(x, t; z) become analytical for D+ and continuous in D+ ∪ Σ0;• µ+1(x, t; z) and µ−2(x, t; z) become analytical for D− and continuous in D− ∪ Σ0;• µ±(x, t; z)→ I as z →∞;• µ±(x, t; z)→ − i

Due to the Jost solutions Φ±(x, t; z) are the simultaneous solutions of spectral problem (1.2), which satisfies followinglinear relation by the constant scattering matrix S(z) = (sij(z))2×2

Φ+(x, t; z) = Φ−(x, t; z)S(z), z ∈ Σ0, (5.10)

γ(z),

s21(z) =Wr(Φ−,1,Φ+,1)

γ(z), s22(z) =

γ(z). (5.11)

Proposition 5.2. The scattering matrix S(z) satisfies:• detS(z) = 1 for z ∈ Σ0;• s22(z) becomes analytical D+ and continuous in D+ ∪ Σ0;• s11(z) becomes analytical D− and continuous in D− ∪ Σ0;• S(x, t; z)→ I as z →∞;

• S(x, t; z)→ diag(u−u+, u+

5.2. The Riemann-Hilbert problem. Based on the analytic properties of Jost solutions µ±(x; t; z) in Proposition5.1, we get the following sectionally meromorphic matrices

where superscripts ± imply analyticity in D+ and D−, respectively. Then, a matrix RHP is raised:

then the potential u(x, t) of the GI equation (1.1) with NZBCs is given by

u(x, t) = iM(1)12 (x, t; z) = i lim

z→∞zM12(x, t; z). (5.16)

6. The solution of GI equation under NZBCs with double poles

In this section, the inverse scattering problem with double poles discrete spectrum for the GI equation (1.1) underNZBCs will be considered, and the general N -double poles solutions will be given.

6.1. Inverse scattering problem with NZBCs and double poles. We first suppose that s22(z) has N1 doublezeros zn (n = 1, 2, · · · , N1) in D+ ∩ {z ∈ C : Rez > 0, Imz > 0, |z| > u0}, and N2 double zeros ωm in {z = u0e

iϑ :0 < ϑ < π

2 }, which denotes s22(z0) = s′22(z0) = 0 and s′′22(z0) 6= 0 when z0 is the double zero of s22(z). From thesymmetries of the scattering matrix, the corresponding discrete spectrum is summed up as(see Fig. 5)

∪ {±ωm,±ω∗m}N2m=1. (6.1)

Due to s22(z0) = 0 (z0 ∈ Υ ∩D+), we can find that Φ−1(x, t; z0) and Φ+2(x, t; z0) are linearly dependent. Analo-gously, since s11(z0) = 0 (z0 ∈ Υ ∩D−), Φ+1(x, t; z0) and Φ−2(x, t; z0) can be linearly dependent. Then, we have

Φ+2(x, t, z0) = b[z0]Φ−1(x, t, z0), z0 ∈ Υ ∩D+,

Φ+1(x, t, z0) = b[z0]Φ−2(x, t, z0), z0 ∈ Υ ∩D−, (6.2)

where b[z0] is a norming constant. Due to s′22(z0) = 0 (z0 ∈ Υ∩D+), we find that Φ′+2(x, t; z0)− b[z0]Φ′−1(x, t; z0) andΦ−1(x, t; z0) are linearly dependent. Similarly, when z0 ∈ Υ ∩D−, Φ′+1(x, t; z0) − b[z0]Φ′−2(x, t; z0) and Φ−2(x, t; z0)are linearly dependent. Then, we have

Φ′+2(x, t; z0)− b[z0]Φ′−1(x, t; z0) = d[z0]Φ−1(x, t; z0), z0 ∈ Υ ∩D+,

Φ′+1(x, t; z0)− b[z0]Φ′−2(x, t; z0) = d[z0]Φ−2(x, t; z0), z0 ∈ Υ ∩D−, (6.3)

where d[z0] is a norming constant. Therefore, one obtains

A[z0] =

(6.5)

Proposition 6.1. Let k0 ∈ Υ, then the following symmetry relations are satisfied:• The first symmetry relation A[z0] = −A[z∗0 ]∗, B[z0] = B[z∗0 ]∗;

• The second symmetry relation A[z0] = A[−z∗0 ]∗, B[z0] = −B[−z∗0 ]∗;

Then the residue and the coefficient L−2 of M(x, t; z) can be written as

such that β+(z) is analytic and has no zeros in D+, and β−(z) is analytic and has no zeros in D−. They both tendto o(1) as z →∞. Through using Cauchy projectors and the Plemelj’s formulae, β±(z) can be expressed as

From Eqs. (6.28), the expression of the double poles soliton solution is derived. �

As a example, through choosing some appropriate parameters, we discuss the dynamical behaviors for one-doubleand two-double poles soliton solution in the case of N1 = 0, N2 = 1, N1 = 1, N2 = 0, and N1 = 1, N2 = 1, respectively.For N1 = 0, N2 = 1, we choose the parameters u− = 1, A[ω1] = 1, B[ω1] = 1, ω1 = e

π4 i in which the theta condition is

arg(u+

u−) = 2π such that u+ = u−. For this case, the one-double poles soliton solution exhibits the interaction of dark

and bright solitons, which can be verified in Fig.6. Additionally, from Fig.6(c), it is easily to find that the collisionis an elastic collision, due to the shape and size of the dark and bright solitons remain unchanged after the collision.On the other hand, when N1 = 1, N2 = 0, we select the parameters u− = 1, A[z1] = 1, B[z1] = i, z1 = 2e

π6 i and the

theta condition is arg(u+

u−) = 8

3π which leads to u+ = e23πi. As shown in Fig.7, the one-double poles soliton solution

stands for the interaction of two breather waves. Furthermore, when N1 = N2 = 1 i.e., a mixed discrete spectra, the

7. The solution of GI equation under NZBCs with triple poles

In this section, we aim to derive the general N -triple poles solutions via analysing the inverse scattering problemwith triple poles discrete spectrum for the GI equation (1.1) under NZBCs.

7.1. Inverse scattering problem with NZBCs and triple poles. Be similar to the expressions (6.2), (6.3), andsince s′′22(z0) = 0 in z0 ∈ Υ∩D+ for the case of triple poles, it is not hard to find that Φ′′+2(x, t; z0)−b[z0]Φ′′−1(x, t; z0)−2d[z0]Φ′−1(x, t; z0) and Φ−1(x, t; z0) are linearly dependent, and Φ′′+1(x, t; z0) − b[z0]Φ′′−2(x, t; z0) − 2d[z0]Φ′−2(x, t; z0)and Φ−2(x, t; z0) are linearly dependent for z0 ∈ Υ ∩D−. That is to say

Φ′′+2(x, t; z0)− b[z0]Φ′′−1(x, t; z0)− 2d[z0]Φ′−1(x, t; z0) = h[z0]Φ−1(x, t; z0), z0 ∈ Υ ∩D+,

Φ′′+1(x, t; z0)− b[z0]Φ′′−2(x, t; z0)− 2d[z0]Φ′−2(x, t; z0) = h[z0]Φ−2(x, t, z0), z0 ∈ Υ ∩D−, (7.1)

DOUBLE AND TRIPLE POLES SOLUTIONS FOR THE GI TYPE OF DERIVATIVE NLS EQUATION 23

Using Eqs. (7.28), the expression of the triple poles soliton solution can be derived finally. �

In particular, we exhibit the obtained solutions with N1 = 0, N2 = 1 and N1 = 1, N2 = 0, respectively. In the caseof N1 = 0, N2 = 1, the one-triple poles soliton become dark-bright-dark solutions of the GI equation with NZBCs

(5.1) in Fig.8 for the parameters u− = 1, A[ω1] = B[ω1] = C[ω1] = 1, ω1 = eπi6 in which the theta condition become

arg(u+

u−) = 2π such that u+ = u−. On the other hand, when selecting N1 = 1, N2 = 0, the one-triple poles soliton

displays breather-breather-breather in Fig. 9 for the parameters u− = 1, A[ω1] = B[ω1] = C[ω1] = 1, ω1 = 2eπi6 in

which the theta condition is arg(u+

u−) = 4π such that u+ = u−. Besides, when N1 = N2 = 1 i.e., a mixed discrete

spectra, it turns into the three-breather-three-soliton solutions, meaning the interaction of three-breather and three-soliton.

8. Conclusion

In this paper, we have applied the RH method to discuss the GI type of derivative NLS equation with ZBCs andNZBCs. Through solving the RHP at the case of double and triple poles, we have given out the N -double and N -triple poles soliton solutions under ZBCs and NZBCs. The critical technique shown in this work is to eliminate theproperties of singularities via subtracting the residue and the coefficient L−2 from the original non-regular RHP when

reflection coefficients have double poles. For the case of triple poles, we have to subtract another the coefficient L−3.Additionally, the asymptotic value of jump matrix is subtracted from the original non-regular RHP. Then the regularRHP can be displayed, which can be solved by Plemelj formula. Finally, the N -double and N -triple poles solitonsolutions can be derived by using the solution of RHP to reconstruct potential function. Also, through choosingsuitable parameters, the dynamic behaviors of one-double poles soliton, two-double poles soliton, one-triple polessoliton corresponding to ZBCs, one-double poles soliton, and one-triple poles soliton corresponding to NZBCs areanalysed. In the near future, more works remain to be solved for other integrable systems via the technique shown inthis paper.
