A Unified and Explicit Construction of N-Soliton Solutions for the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

An explicit N-fold Darboux transformation with multiparameters for nonlinear Schrödinger equation is constructed with the help of its Lax pairs and a reduction technique. According to this Darboux transformation, the solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation are reduced to solving a linear algebraic system, from which a unified and explicit formulation of N-soliton solutions with multiparameters for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation is given.
