Abstract
We consider the Riemann–Hilbert (RH) approach to the construction of periodic finite-band solutions to the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. An RH problem for the solution of the finite-band problem has been recently derived via the Fokas method (Deconinck et al. 2021 Lett. Math. Phys. 111, 1–18. (doi:10.1007/s11005-021-01356-7); Fokas & Lenells. 2021 Proc. R. Soc. A 477, 20200605. (doi:10.1007/s11005-021-01356-7)) Building on this method, a finite-band solution to the NLS equation can be given in terms of the solution of an associated RH problem, the jump conditions for which are characterized by specifying the endpoints of the arcs defining the contour of the RH problem and the constants (so-called phases) involved in the jump matrices. In our work, we solve the problem of retrieving the phases given the solution of the NLS equation evaluated at a fixed time. Our findings are corroborated by numerical examples of phases computation, demonstrating the viability of the method proposed.
