Abstract

A certain symmetry is exploited in expressing exact solutions to the focusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation in terms of a triplet of constant matrices. Consequently, for any number of bound states with any number of multiplicities the corresponding soliton solutions are explicitly written in a compact form in terms of a matrix triplet. Conversely, from such a soliton solution the corresponding transmission coefficients, bound-state poles, bound-state norming constants and Jost solutions for the associated Zakharov-Shabat system are evaluated explicitly. It is also shown that these results hold for the matrix nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation of any matrix size.
