Abstract: | An initial boundary-value problem for the Hirota equation on the
half-line, $0 < x < \infty$, $t > 0$, is analysed by expressing the
solution $q(x, t)$ in terms of the solution of a matrix
Riemann-Hilbert (RH) problem in the complex $k$-plane. This RH problem
has explicit $(x, t)$ dependence and it involves certain functions
of $k$ referred to as the spectral functions. Some of these functions
are defined in terms of the initial condition $q(x, 0) = q_0(x)$,
while the remaining spectral functions are defined in terms of the
boundary values $q(0, t) = g_0(t)$, $q_x(0, t) = g_1(t)$ and
$q_{xx}(0, t) = g_2(t)$. The spectral functions satisfy an algebraic
global relation which characterizes, say, $g_2(t)$ in terms of
$\{q_0(x), g_0(t), g_1(t)\}$. The spectral functions are not
independent, but related by a compatibility condition, the so-called
global relation. |
