The evolution equations that describe, in appropriately "coarse-grained'' and "slow'' variables, the evolution of the envelopes of N nonresonant dispersive waves, can be reduced to the "universal'' form (∂/∂t+vn ∂/∂x) un(x,t) =un(x,t) ∑Nm=1βnmum(x,t). In this paper the special case with βnm=(vm−vn) βm, which is integrable by quadratures, is investigated. The subclass of localized solutions (i.e., vanishing as x→±∞) gives rise to a novel solitonic phenomenology. The class of solutions that are asymptotically finite contains a richer solitonic phenomenology, including those of novel type (which move with the speeds vn, and can have any shape) and more standard kinks (which can move with any speed, and have standard shapes). The class of rational solutions, and the integrable dynamical systems naturally associated with these solutions, are also investigated; these dynamical systems include, and extend, known integrable systems. In this paper the treatment is confined to 1+1 dimensions; at the end, together with some other generalizations, a partially solvable multidimensional extension is reported.
