An initial-boundary value problem for the sine-Gordon equation in laboratory coordinates
A. S. Fokas, A. R. Its Clarkson University
Abstract:
We consider the sine-Gordon equation in laboratory coordinates with both $x$ and $t$ in $[0,\infty)$. We assume that $u(x,0)$, $u_t(x,0)$, $u(0,t)$ are given, and that they satisfy
$u(x,0) \to 2\pi q$, $u_t(x,0)\to 0$, for large $x$, $u(0,t) \to 2\pi p$ for large $t$,
where $q$, $p$ are integers. We also assume that $u_x(x,0)$, $u_t(x,0)$, $u_t(0,t)$,
$u(0,t)-2\pi p$, $u(x,0)-2\pi q \in L_2$. We show that the solution of this initial-boundary value problem can be reduced to solving a linear integral equation which is always solvable. The
asymptotic analysis of this integral equation for large $t$, shows how the boundary conditions can generate solitons.
