Abstract
Generalized matrix exponential solutions to the coupled derivative nonlinear Schrodinger equation (DNLSE) are obtained by the inverse scattering transformation (IST). The resulting solutions involve six matrices, which satisfy the coupled Sylvester equations. Several kinds of explicit solutions including soliton, complexiton, and Matveev solutions are deduced from the generalized matrix exponential solutions by choosing different kinds of the six involved matrices through Mathematica symbolic computations.
