RIEMANN-HILBERT PROBLEMS OF A SIX-COMPONENT MKDV SYSTEM AND ITS SOLITON SOLUTIONS

Based on a 4 x 4 matrix spectral problem, an AKNS soliton hierarchy with six potentials is generated. Associated with this spectral problem, a kind of Riemann-Hilbert problems is formulated for a six-component system of mKdV equations in the resulting AKNS hierarchy. Soliton solutions to the considered system of coupled mKdV equations are computed, through a reduced Riemann-Hilbert problem where an identity jump matrix is taken.     

Quasi-classical asymptotics of solutions to the matrix factorization problem with quadratically oscillating off-diagonal elements

The paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the 2 × 2 matrix factorization (Riemann-Hilbert) problem with rapidly oscillating off-diagonal elements and quadratic phase function. A new approach to study such problems based on the ideas of the stationary phase method and M. G. Krein’s theory is proposed. The problem is model for investigating the asymptotic behavior of solutions to factorization problems with several turning points. Power-order complete asymptotic expansions for solutions to the problem under consideration are found. These asymptotics are used to construct asymptotics for solutions to the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation at large times.     

A Riemann-Hilbert Approach to the Harry-Dym Equation on the Line

In this paper, the authors consider the Harry-Dym equation on the line with decaying initial value. They construct the solution of the Harry-Dym equation via the solution of a 2 × 2 matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem in the complex plane. Further, onecusp soliton solution is expressed in terms of the Riemann-Hilbert problem.     

Strong Asymptotics of Laguerre-Type Orthogonal Polynomials and Applications in Random Matrix Theory

We consider polynomials orthogonal on [0,∞) with respect to Laguerre-type weights w(x) = x^α e^-Q(x), where α > -1 and where Q denotes a polynomial with positive leading coefficient. The main purpose of this paper is to determine Plancherel-Rotach-type asymptotics in the entire complex plane for the orthonormal polynomials with respect to w, as well as asymptotics of the corresponding recurrence coefficients and of the leading coefficients of the orthonormal polynomials. As an application we will use these asymptotics to prove universality results in random matrix theory. We will prove our results by using the characterization of orthogonal polynomials via a 2 × 2 matrix valued Riemann--Hilbert problem, due to Fokas, Its, and Kitaev, together with an application of the Deift-Zhou steepest descent method to analyze the Riemann-Hilbert problem asymptotically.     

Riemann-Hilbert approach to TD equation with nonzero boundary condition

We extend the Riemann-Hilbert approach to the TD equation, which is a highly nonlinear differential integrable equation. Zero boundary condition at infinity for the TD equation is not suitable. Inverse scattering transform for this equation involves the singular Riemann-Hilbert problem, which means that the sectionally analytic functions have singularities on the boundary curve. Regularization procedures of the singular Riemann-Hilbert problem for two cases, the general case and the case for reflectionless potentials, are considered. Solitonic solutions to the TD equation are given.     

An integro-differential equation arising as a limit of individual cell-based models

In this paper, we study mathematical properties of an integro-differential equation that arises as a particular limit case in the study of individual cell-based model. We obtain global well-posedness for some classes of interaction potentials and finite time blow-up for others. The existence of space homogeneous steady states as well as long-time asymptotics for the solutions of the problem is also discussed.     

The multi-component second modified Korteweg–de Vries equation and its two distinct integrable coupling types

A new isospectral problem is designed and the multi-component second mKdV equation is worked out from it. It follows that two distinct types of integrable couplings of the multi-component second mKdV equation are obtained by constructing two types of new loop algebras. As its reduction, two distinct types of integrable couplings of the multi-component KdV equation, the multi-component mKdV equation and the multi-component KdV–mKdV equation are presented.     

Forbidden Regions for Shock Formation in Diffusive Systems

We consider an initial-boundary value problem for a nonlinear parabolic system. Using perturbation methods, this problem is reduced to one of considering an evolution equation for the long-time asymptotics of the system. This model can be related to the leading order approximation for a spatially inhomogeneous reaction-diffusion system with time-dependent forcing. The evolution equation yields solutions with steady state shocks. We study some of the subtle effects introduced by time-dependent forcing. Most significant among these effects is the creation of “forbidden regions” where stationary shocks cannot form. Results are presented for bi- and tri-stable one-dimensional models as well as multidimensional systems.     

Equivalence of three kinds of well-posed-ness of discontinuous Riemann-Hilbert problem for elliptic complex equation in multiply connected domains

In this article, we first introduce the general linear elliptic complex equation of first order with certain conditions, and then propose discontinuous Riemann-Hilbert problem and some kinds of modified well-posed-ness for the complex equation. Then we verify the equivalence of three kinds of well-posed-ness. The discontinuous boundary value problem possesses many applications in mechanics and physics etc.     

Riemann-Hilbert problem associated with Angelesco systems

Angelesco systems of measures with Jacobi-type weights are considered. For such systems, strong asymptotics for the related multiple orthogonal polynomials are found as well as the Szeg?-type functions. In the procedure, an approach from the Riemann-Hilbert problem plays a fundamental role.     

Global well-posedness for a coupled modified KdV system

We prove the sharp global well-posedness result for the initial value problem (IVP) associated to the system of the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation. For the single mKdV equation such result has been obtained by using Mirura’s Transform that takes the KdV equation to the mKdV equation [8]. We do not know the existence of Miura’s Transform that takes a KdV system to the system we are considering. To overcome this difficulty we developed a new proof of the sharp global well-posedness result for the single mKdV equation without using Miura’s Transform. We could successfully apply this technique in the case of the mKdV system to obtain the desired result.     

N-SOLITON SOLUTION OF THE KUNDU-TYPE EQUATION VIA RIEMANN-HILBERT APPROACH

In this article, we focus on investigating the Kundu-type equation with zero boundary condition at infinity. Based on the analytical and symmetric properties of eigenfunctions and spectral matrix of its Lax pair, a Riemann-Hilbert problem for the initial value problem of the Kundu-type equation is constructed. Further through solving the regular and nonregular Riemann-Hilbert problem, a kind of general N-soliton solution of the Kundu-type equation are presented. As special cases of this result, the N-soliton solution of the Kaup-Newell equation, Chen-Lee-Liu equation, and Gerjikov-Ivanov equation can be obtained respectively by choosing different parameters.
