A Riemann-Hilbert Approach to the Chen-Lee-Liu Equation on the Half Line

In this paper, the Fokas unified method is used to analyze the initial-boundary value for the Chen- Lee-Liu equation i ∂ t u + ∂ | u | 2 ∂ x u = 0 on the half line (−∞, 0] with decaying initial value. Assuming that the solution u ( x , t ) exists, we show that it can be represented in terms of the s...

Description
Summary:In this paper, the Fokas unified method is used to analyze the initial-boundary value for the Chen- Lee-Liu equation i ∂ t u + ∂ | u | 2 ∂ x u = 0 on the half line (−∞, 0] with decaying initial value. Assuming that the solution u ( x , t ) exists, we show that it can be represented in terms of the solution of a matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem 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 are 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 spectral functions are not independent, but satisfy a so-called global relation.
