Abstract

In this paper, we consider a new two-component Sasa–Satsuma equation, which can simulate the propagation and interaction of ultrashort pulses and describe the propagation of femtosecond pulses in optical fibers. The unified transformation method is used to construct a \(4\times 4\) matrix Riemann–Hilbert problem. Then, the solution of the initial-boundary value problems for the new two-component generalized Sasa–Satsuma equation well can be obtained by solving this matrix Riemann–Hilbert problem. In addition, we obtain that the spectral functions satisfy an important global relation.
