Solutions of the nonlocal nonlinear Schrodinger hierarchy via reduction

In this letter we propose an approach to obtain solutions for the nonlocal nonlinear Schrodinger hierarchy from the known ones of the Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur hierarchy by reduction. These solutions are presented in terms of double Wronskian and some of them are new. The approach is general and can be used for other systems with double Wronskian solutions which admit local and nonlocal reductions. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
