Riemann–Hilbert approach and N-soliton solution for an eighth-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation in an optical fiber

Abstract This paper aims to present an application of the Riemann–Hilbert approach to treat higher-order nonlinear differential equation that is an eighth-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation arising in an optical fiber. Starting from the spectral analysis of the Lax pair, a matrix Riemann–Hilbert p...
