Soliton resolution for the Wadati-Konno-Ichikawa equation with weighted Sobolev initial data


Abstract in English

In this work, we employ the $bar{partial}$-steepest descent method to investigate the Cauchy problem of the Wadati-Konno-Ichikawa (WKI) equation with initial conditions in weighted Sobolev space $mathcal{H}(mathbb{R})$. The long time asymptotic behavior of the solution $q(x,t)$ is derived in a fixed space-time cone $S(y_{1},y_{2},v_{1},v_{2})={(y,t)inmathbb{R}^{2}: y=y_{0}+vt, ~y_{0}in[y_{1},y_{2}], ~vin[v_{1},v_{2}]}$. Based on the resulting asymptotic behavior, we prove the soliton resolution conjecture of the WKI equation which includes the soliton term confirmed by $N(mathcal{I})$-soliton on discrete spectrum and the $t^{-frac{1}{2}}$ order term on continuous spectrum with residual error up to $O(t^{-frac{3}{4}})$.
