Spectral analysis of the elliptic sine-Gordon equation in the quarter plane

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We study the elliptic sine-Gordon equation in the quarter plane using a spectral transform approach. We determine the Riemann-Hilbert problem associated with well-posed boundary value problems in this domain and use it to derive a formal representation of the solution. Our analysis is based on a generalization of the usual inverse scattering transform recently introduced by Fokas for studying linear elliptic problems.
