“…The coefficients σ s = ±1 (s = 1, 2, ..., n) specify the sign of the nonlinearity. For the multi-component NLS system for which γ = 0, we can deal with the three types of cubic nonlinearities, i.e., focusing (σ s = 1, s = 1, 2, ..., n), defocusing (σ s = −1, s = 1, 2, ..., n) and mixed focusing-defocusing (σ s = 1, s = 1, 2, ..., m; σ s = −1, s = m + 1, m + 2, ..., n) nonlinearities with µ > 0, where m is an arbitrary positive integer such that 1 ≤ m < n. The special systems reduced from (1.1) have been summarized in a previous paper [13]. The system (1.1) has been shown to be completely integrable [14] and hence the exact methods mentioned above can be applied to it to obtain various types of soliton solutions.…”
