Abstract

The second-type derivative nonlinear Schr\"odinger (DNLSII) equation was introduced as an integrable model in 1979. Very recently, the DNLSII equation has been shown by an experiment to be a model of the evolution of optical pulses involving self-steepening without concomitant self-phase-modulation. In this paper the nn-fold Darboux transformation (DT) TnT_n of the coupled DNLSII equations is constructed in terms of determinants. Comparing with the usual DT of the soliton equations, this kind of DT is unusual because TnT_n includes complicated integrals of seed solutions in the process of iteration. By a tedious analysis, these integrals are eliminated in TnT_n except the integral of the seed solution. Moreover, this TnT_n is reduced to the DT of the DNLSII equation under a reduction condition. As applications of TnT_n, the explicit expressions of soliton, rational soliton, breather, rogue wave and multi-rogue wave solutions for the DNLSII equation are displayed.
