Riemann–Hilbert approach and multiple high-order pole solutions for the AB system

This article’s purpose is to investigate multiple high-order pole solutions for the AB system by the Riemann–Hilbert (RH) approach. We establish the RH problem through using spectral analysis to the Lax pair. Then the RH problem can be resolved and the soliton solution’s formula can be given by using the Laurent expansion method. Finally, we get special soliton solutions, including dark solitons, W-type dark solitons and multiple high-pole solutions. In addition, the W-type dark soliton solutions will occur when the spectral parameters are purely imaginary.
