Abstract

We implement the numerical inverse scattering transform (NIST) for the sine-Gordon equation in laboratory coordinates on the real line using the method developed by Trogdon, Olver and Deconinck. The NIST allows one to compute the solution at any x and t without having spatial discretization or time-stepping. The numerical implementation is fully spectrally accurate. With the help of the method of nonlinear steepest descent, the NIST is demonstrated to be uniformly accurate.
