The Manakov equation of mixed type and its matrix generalization

Qing Ding, Chaohao Ye and Shiping Zhong

Vol. 339 (2025), No. 2, 265–282
Abstract

We introduce the matrix Manakov equation of mixed type by using algebraic properties of the Lie algebra u(k,nk), which is a nice supplementary to the matrix nonlinear Schrödinger equation. As a consequence, the general Manakov equation is generalized to the matrix case. By making use of some peculiar properties of u(k,nk), we derive both the geometric realization and Darboux transformation of the matrix Manakov equation of mixed type.
