Using the nonlinear constraint method, the explicit expressions of loc
alized solitons of the 1+2-dimensional three-wave equation are obtaine
d. After the lth Darboux transformation, each component of the solutio
n has, at most, l(2) peaks when the parameters for each single Darboax
transformation are large enough. This lives a corresponding asymptoti
c property for the DSI equation, although all the peaks of each compon
ent move in the same velocity here. (C) 1998 American Institute of Phy
