Inverse scattering transform for the Tzitzéica equation
arXiv:2011.13177
Abstract
The inverse scattering transform is extended to investigate the Tzitzéica equation. A set of sectionally analytic eigenfunctions and auxiliary eigenfunctions are introduced. We note that in this procedure, the auxiliary eigenfunctions play an important role. Besides, the symmetries of the analytic eigenfunctions and scattering data are discussed. The asymptotic behaviors of the Jost eigenfunctions are derived systematically. A Riemann-Hilbert problem is constructed to study the inverse scattering problem. Lastly, some novel exact solutions are obtained for reflectionless potentials.
