A Riemann-Hilbert Approach for the Novikov Equation

Abstract: Abstract. We develop the inverse scattering transform method for the Novikov equation u t − u txx + 4u 2 u x = 3uu x u xx + u 2 u xxx considered on the line x ∈ (−∞, ∞) in the case of non-zero constant background. The approach is based on the analysis of an associated Riemann-Hilbert (RH) problem, which in this case is a 3 × 3 matrix problem. The structure of this RH problem shares many common features with the case of the Degasperis-Procesi

“…A similar situation takes place, for example, for the Degasperis-Procesi equation m t + (um) x + 2u x m = 0, m = u − u xx , (1.5) which is also an integrable, CH-type equation with quadratic nonlinearity. On the other hand, for other CH-type equations, in particular, for those with cubic nonlinearity, the situation is different: while considering the equation on a nonzero background again leads to problems supporting smooth solitons, changing variables (leading to zero background) results in an equation having different form, which is not equivalent to adding just a linear dispersion term; see, e.g., the case of the Novikov equation [6].…”

“…In 2012, Lenells first extended the Fokas unified transform method to the IBV problem for the 3 × 3 matrix Lax pair [16,17]. After that, more and more researchers begin to pay attention to studying IBV problems for integrable evolution equations with higher order Lax pairs on the half-line or on the interval, the IBV problem for the many integrable equations with 3 × 3 or 4 × 4 Lax pairs are studied, such as, the Degasperis-Procesi equation [17,18], the Sasa-Satsuma equation [19], the three wave equation [20], the coupled NLS equation [21], the vector modified KdV equation [22], the Novikov equation [23], the general coupled NLS equation [24]. the integrable spin-1 Gross-Pitaevskii equations with a 4 × 4 Lax pair [25].…”

“…Specially, one also analyzed the asymptotic behavior of the solution based on this RH problem and by employing the nonlinear version of the steepest descent method introduced by Deift and Zhou. 12 Among those, Lenells, [13][14][15] Boutet de Monvel, [16][17][18] and Xu and Fan [19][20][21] have made a great contribution. In 2012, Lenells 14 applied the unified transform approach to analyze IBV problem for integrable evolution equations whose Lax pair involving 3 × 3 matrices.…”
