Title
Backlund transformations and Painleve analysis : exact soliton solutions for the unstable nonlinear Schrodinger equation modeling electron beam plasma
Author
Abstract
In this paper the Backlund transformations technique and Painleve analysis are used to generate classes of exact soliton solutions for some nonlinear evolution equations. For the (1+1)-dimensional problem, the unstable system of plasma equations where an electron beam is injected under a high-frequency electric field is reduced to the unstable nonlinear Schrodinger (UNLS) equation. Using the Darboux-Bargmann technique, we obtain the Backlund transformations for UNLS equation solvable by the inverse scattering method of Zakharov-Shabat/Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur (ZS/AKNS) and the ZS/AKNS wave functions corresponding to the soliton solutions of this equation.
