Abstract

In this paper, the AKNS isospectral problem and its corresponding time evolution are generalized by embedding three coefficient functions. Starting from the generalizedAKNS isospectral problem, a mixed spectralAKNS hierarchy with variable coefficients is derived. Thanks to the selectivity of these coefficient functions, the mixed spectral AKNS hierarchy contains not only isospectral equations but also nonisospectral equations. Based on a systematic analysis of the related direct and inverse scattering problems, exact solutions of the mixed spectral AKNS hierarchy are obtained through the inverse scattering transformation. In the case of reflectionless potentials, the obtained exact solutions are reduced to n-soliton solutions. This paper shows that the AKNS spectral problem being nonisospectral is not a necessary condition to construct a nonisospectral AKNS hierarchy and that the inverse scattering transformation can be used for solving some other variable-coefficient mixed hierarchies of isospectral equations and nonisospectral equations.
