In this paper, we consider the initial-boundary value problem of the Kundu-Eckhaus equation on the half-line by using of the Fokas unified transform method. Assuming that the solution u(x, t) exists, we show that it can be expressed in terms of the unique solution of a matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem formulated in the plane of the complex spectral parameter λ. Moreover, we also get that some spectral functions are not independent and satisfy the so-called global relation.Assume that the solution u(x; t) of the KE equation exists, and the initial-boundary values data are defined as follows( 1.2) We will show that u(x, t) can be expressed in terms of the unique solution of a matrix RHP formulated in the plane of the complex spectral parameter λ. The jump matrix has explicit (x, t) dependence and is given in terms of the spectral functions a(λ), b(λ) and A(λ), B(λ), which obtained from the initial data u 0 (x) = u(x, 0) and the boundary data g 0 (t) = u(0, t), g 1 (t) = u x (0, t), respectively. The problem has the jump across {Imλ 2 = 0}. The spectral functions are not independent, but related by a compatibility condition, the so-called global relation, which is an algebraic equation coupling a(λ), b(λ) and A(λ), B(λ). Where a different RHP was formulated and a different representation of the solution of the KE equation was given, which are more convenient for studying the long-time asymptotic behavior for the solutions of the KE equation with the decay initial and boundary values lie in the Schwartz class.Organization of this paper is as follows. In section 2, some summary results and the basic RHP of the KE equation are given. In section 3, the spectral functions a(λ), b(λ) and A(λ), B(λ) are investigated and the RHP is presented. The last section is devoted to conclusions and discussions.
