Abstract

The Darboux transformations for soliton equations are applied to the Yang-Mills-Higgs equations. New solutions can be obtained from a known one via universal and purely algebraic formulas. SU(N) soliton solutions are constructed with explicit formulas. The interaction of solitons is described by the splitting theorem: each p-soliton is splitting into p single solitons asymptotically as t → ±∞.
