A class of short vector solitons in the frame of the coupled third-order no
nlinear Schrodinger equation (CNSE-3) is found. Stability of the solitons i
n adiabatic approximation is considered. The analytical results are confirm
ed by numerical simulations of the dynamics of the perturbed short vector s
olitons in the frame of the CNSE-3. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All righ
