Riemann-Hilbert problems and soliton solutions of nonlocal real reverse-spacetime mKdV equations

摘要

We would like to analyze a kind of nonlocal reverse-spacetime integrable PT-symmetric multicomponent modified Korteweg-de Vires (mKdV) equations by making a group of nonlocal reductions, and establish their associated Riemann-Hilbert problems which determine generalized Jost solutions of higher-order matrix spectral problems. The Sokhotski-Plemelj formula is used to transform the associated Riemann-Hilbert problems into Gelfand-Levitan-Marchenko type integral equations. The Riemann-Hilbert problems in the reflectionless case are solved explicitly, and the resulting formulation of solutions enables us to present solitons to the nonlocal reverse-spacetime integrable PT-symmetric mKdV equations.
