Multi-dark-dark solitons of the integrable repulsive AB system via the determinants

We investigate the integrable repulsive AB system and construct its Darboux transformation using the loop group method. The associated N-fold Darboux transformation is found in terms of simple determinants. Moreover, we derive multi-dark-dark solitons of the repulsive AB system with a non-vanishing background through the Darboux transformation with a limit procedure. Particularly, we exhibit the one-, two-, and three-dark-dark solitons. The results will be meaningful for the study of vector multi-dark solitons in many physical systems such as geophysical fluid dynamics and nonlinear optics. Published by AIP Publishing.
