The work presented here emanates from questions arising from experimental observations of the propagation of surface water waves. The experiments in question featured a periodically moving wavemaker located at one end of a flume that generated unidirectional waves of relatively small amplitude and long wavelength when compared with the undisturbed depth. It was observed that the wave profile at any point down the channel very quickly became periodic in time with the same period as that of the wavemaker. One of the questions dealt with here is whether or not such a property holds for model equations for such waves. In the present discussion, this is examined in the context of the Korteweg-de Vries equation using the recently developed version of the inverse scattering theory for boundary value problems put forward by Fokas and his collaborators. It turns out that the Korteweg-de Vries equation does possess the properly that solutions at a fixed point down the channel have the property of asymptotic periodicity in time when forced periodically at the boundary. However, a more subtle issue to do with conservation of mass fails to hold at the second order in a small parameter which is the typical wave amplitude divided by the undisturbed depth.

We derive asymptotic formulas for the solution of the derivative nonlinear Schrodinger equation on the half-line under the assumption that the initial and boundary values lie in the Schwartz class. The formulas clearly show the effect of the boundary
on the solution. The approach is based on a nonlinear steepest descent analysis of an associated Riemann-Hilbert problem.
It has been conjectured that the defocusing nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation on the half-line does not admit solitons. We give a proof of this conjecture.
We analyze initial-boundary value problems for an integrable generalization of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation formulated on the half-line. In particular, we investigate the so-called linearizable boundary conditions, which in this case are of Rob
in type. Furthermore, we use a particular solution to verify explicitly all the steps needed for the solution of a well-posed problem.
The most challenging problem in the implementation of the so-called textit{unified transform} to the analysis of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation on the half-line is the characterization of the unknown boundary value in terms of the given initial a
nd boundary conditions. For the so-called textit{linearizable} boundary conditions this problem can be solved explicitly. Furthermore, for non-linearizable boundary conditions which decay for large $t$, this problem can be largely bypassed in the sense that the unified transform yields useful asymptotic information for the large $t$ behavior of the solution. However, for the physically important case of periodic boundary conditions it is necessary to characterize the unknown boundary value. Here, we first present a perturbative scheme which can be used to compute explicitly the asymptotic form of the Neumann boundary value in terms of the given $tau$-periodic Dirichlet datum to any given order in a perturbation expansion. We then discuss briefly an extension of the pioneering results of Boutet de Monvel and co-authors which suggests that if the Dirichlet datum belongs to a large class of particular $tau$-periodic functions, which includes ${a exp(i omega t) , | , a>0, , omega geq a^2}$, then the large $t$ behavior of the Neumann value is given by a $tau$-periodic function which can be computed explicitly.
Integrable PDEs on the line can be analyzed by the so-called Inverse Scattering Transform (IST) method. A particularly powerful aspect of the IST is its ability to predict the large $t$ behavior of the solution. Namely, starting with initial data $u(
x,0)$, IST implies that the solution $u(x,t)$ asymptotes to a collection of solitons as $t to infty$, $x/t = O(1)$; moreover the shapes and speeds of these solitons can be computed from $u(x,0)$ using only {it linear} operations. One of the most important developments in this area has been the generalization of the IST from initial to initial-boundary value (IBV) problems formulated on the half-line. It can be shown that again $u(x,t)$ asymptotes into a collection of solitons, where now the shapes and the speeds of these solitons depend both on $u(x,0)$ and on the given boundary conditions at $x = 0$. A major complication of IBV problems is that the computation of the shapes and speeds of the solitons involves the solution of a {it nonlinear} Volterra integral equation. However, for a certain class of boundary conditions, called linearizable, this complication can be bypassed and the relevant computation is as effective as in the case of the problem on the line. Here, after reviewing the general theory for KdV, we analyze three different types of linearizable boundary conditions. For these cases, the initial conditions are: (a) restrictions of one and two soliton solutions at $t = 0$; (b) profiles of certain exponential type; (c) box-shaped profiles. For each of these cases, by computing explicitly the shapes and the speeds of the asymptotic solitons, we elucidate the influence of the boundary.
