Inequalities for the transformation operators and applications.
We analyse an initial-boundary value problem for the mKdV equation on a finite interval by expressing the solution in terms of the solution of an associated matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem in the complex -plane. This RH problem is determined by certain spectral functions which are defined in terms of the initial-boundary values at and . We show that the spectral functions satisfy an algebraic “global relation” which express the implicit relation between all boundary values in terms of spectral...
