Abstract: We analyze the large-n behavior of soliton solutions of the integrable focusing nonlinear Schr"odinger equation with associated spectral data consisting of a single pair of conjugate poles of order 2n. Starting from the zero background, we generate multiple-pole solitons by n-fold application of Darboux transformations. The resulting functions are encoded in a Riemann-Hilbert problem using the robust inverse-scattering transform method recently introduced by Bilman and Miller. For moderate values of n we solve the Riemann-Hilbert problem exactly. With appropriate scaling, the resulting plots of exact solutions reveal semiclassical-type behavior, including regions with high-frequency modulated waves and quiescent regions. We compute the boundary of the quiescent regions exactly and use the nonlinear steepest-descent method to prove the asymptotic limit of the solitons is zero in these regions. Finally, we study the behavior of the solitons in a scaled neighborhood of the central peak with amplitude proportional to n. We prove that in a local scaling the solitons converge to functions satisfying the second member of the Painlev'e-III hierarchy in the sense of Sakka. This function is a generalization of a function recently identified by Suleimanov in the context of geometric optics and by Bilman, Ling, and Miller in the context of rogue wave solutions to the focusing nonlinear Schr"odinger equation.
