The hierarchy of multi-soliton solutions of the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We provide a relatively simple approach to Backlund transformations for the derivative nonlinear Schrodinger equation. By iteration it leads to compact N-soliton formulae both with asymptotically vanishing and non-vanishing amplitudes. The phenomenology of these solutions is discussed and illustrated in some detail.
