Vector NLS solitons interacting with a boundary

We construct multi-soliton solutions of the n-component vector nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the half-line subject to two classes of integrable boundary conditions(BCs):the homogeneous Robin BCs and the mixed Neumann/Dirichlet BCs.The construction is based on the so-called dressing the boundary,which generates soliton solutions by preserving the integrable BCs at each step of the Darboux-dressing process.Under the Robin BCs,examples,including boundary-bound solitons,are explicitly derived;under the mixed Neumann/Dirichlet BCs,the boundary can act as a polarizer that tunes different components of the vector solitons.Connection of our construction to the inverse scattering transform is also provided.
