Abstract

In this paper, we address the existence of global solutions to the Cauchy problem of the modified Camassa-Holm (mCH) equation, which is known as a model for the unidirectional propagation of shallow water waves. Based on the spectral analysis of the Lax pair, we apply the inverse scattering transform to rigorously analyze the mCH equation with zero background. By connecting the Cauchy problem to the Riemann-Hilbert (RH) problem, we establish a bijective map between potential and reflection coefficients within the L2L^2-Sobolev space framework. Utilizing a reconstruction formula and estimates on the time-dependent RH problem, we obtain a unique global solution to the Cauchy problem for the mCH equation.
