Abstract

We consider the modified Korteveg de Vriez equation on the whole line. Initial data is real and step-like, i.e. q(x,0)=0q(x,0)=0 for x0x\geq0 and q(x,0)=cq(x,0)=c for x<0x<0, where c is arbitrary real number. The goal of this paper is to study the asymptotic behavior of the initial-value problem's solution by means of the asymptotic behavior of the some Riemann\textendash Hilbert problem. In this paper we show that the solution of this problem has different asymptotic behavior in different regions. In the region x<6c2tx<-6c^2t and x>4c2tx>4c^2t the solution is tend to cc and 0 correspondingly. In the region 6c2t<x<4c2t-6c^2t<x<4c^2t the solution takes the form of a modulated elliptic wave.
