Reverse Space-Time Nonlocal Sasa-Satsuma Equation and Its Solutions

The Sasa-Satsuma equation is an integrable high-order nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation, and also is a complex modified KdV-type equation. It can describe the propagation of femtosecond pulses in optical fibers. Very recently, Ablowitz and Mussliman introduced a class of reverse space-time and reverse time nonlinear integrable equations, including the reverse space nonlocal NLS equation, the real and complex reverse space-time nonlocal mKdV, sine-Gordon, Davey-Stewartson equations, etc. So, what is nonlocal version of high-order NLS? In this paper, we introduce a reverse space-time nonlocal Sasa-Satsuma equation, i.e., a reverse space-time nonlocal high-order NLS equation, and derive its solutions with the binary Darboux transformation method. Periodic solutions, and some localized solutions, such as dark soliton, W-shaped soliton, M-shaped soliton and breather soliton of the reverse space-time nonlocal Sasa-Satsuma equation are constructed.
