GBDT with nontrivial seeds: explicit solutions of the focusing NLS equations and the corresponding Weyl functions

Our GBDT (generalised Bäcklund-Darboux transformation) approach is used to construct explicit solutions of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation in the case of the exponential seed $a\exp \{2i(cx+dt)\}$. The corresponding Baker-Akhiezer functions and evolution of the Weyl functions are obtained as well. In particular, the solutions, which appear in the study of rogue waves, step-like solutions and $N$-modulation solutions of the NLS equation are considered. This work is an essential development of our joint work with Rien Kaashoek and Israel Gohberg, where the seed was trivial, as well as several other of our previous works.
