Abstract

We relate the scattering theory of the focusing AKNS system with vanishing boundary conditions to that of the matrix Schrödinger equation. The corresponding Miura transformation, which allows this connection, converts the focusing matrix nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation into a new nonlocal integrable equation. We apply the matrix triplet method to derive the multisoliton solutions of the nonlocal integrable equation, thus proposing a new method to solve the matrix NLS equation.
