Based on a 2×22×2 matrix ˉ∂ˉ∂ problem, we have obtained the Lax pair by constructing a spectral transformation matrix. The Hirota equation with self-consistent sources is derived by considering the nonanalytic part of the dispersion relation. Furthermore, explicit solutions including N-soliton solutions are computed by ˉ∂ˉ∂-dressing method, and N-soliton solutions of the Hirota equation with self-consistent sources are obtained by using the properties of Cauchy matrix. The dynamic behavior of soliton solutions is analyzed.
