On soliton solutions and soliton interactions of Kulish-Sklyanin and Hirota-Ohta systems

In this paper we consider a simplest two-dimensional reduction of the remarkable three-dimensional Hirota-Ohta system. The Lax pair of the Hirota-Ohta system was extended to a Lax triad by adding extra third linear equation, whose compatibility conditions with the Lax pair of the Hirota-Ohta imply another remarkable systems: the Kulish-Sklyanin system (KSS) together with its first higher commuting flow, which we can call as vector complex MKdV. This means that any common particular solution of these both two-dimensional integrable systems yields a corresponding particular solution of the three-dimensional Hirota-Ohta system. Using the dressing Zakharov-Shabat method we derive the \(N\)-soliton solutions of these systems and analyze their interactions, i.e. derive explicitly the shifts of the relative center-of-mass coordinates and the phases as functions of the discrete eigenvalues of the Lax operator. Next we relate to these NLEE system of Hirota--Ohta type and obtain its \(N\)-soliton solutions
