文摘Multi-place nonlocal systems have attracted attention from many scientists.In this paper,we mainly review the recent progresses on two-place nonlocal systems(Alice-Bob systems)and four-place nonlocal models.Multi-place systems can firstly be derived from many physical problems by using a multiple scaling method with a discrete symmetry group including parity,time reversal,charge conjugates,rotations,field reversal and exchange transformations.Multiplace nonlocal systems can also be derived from the symmetry reductions of coupled nonlinear systems via discrete symmetry reductions.On the other hand,to solve multi-place nonlocal systems,one can use the symmetry-antisymmetry separation approach related to a suitable discrete symmetry group,such that the separated systems are coupled local ones.By using the separation method,all the known powerful methods used in local systems can be applied to nonlocal cases.In this review article,we take two-place and four-place nonlocal nonlinear Schr?dinger(NLS)systems and Kadomtsev-Petviashvili(KP)equations as simple examples to explain how to derive and solve them.Some types of novel physical and mathematical points related to the nonlocal systems are especially emphasized.
