Soliton resolution for the Hirota equation with weighted Sobolev initial data

Abstract

In this work, the $\overline{\partial}$ steepest descent method is employed to investigate the soliton resolution for the Hirota equation with the initial value belong to weighted Sobolev space $H^{1,1}(\mathbb{R})=\{f\in L^{2}(\mathbb{R}): f',xf\in L^{2}(\mathbb{R})\}$. The long-time asymptotic behavior of the solution $q(x,t)$ is derived in any fixed space-time cone $C(x_{1},x_{2},v_{1},v_{2})=\left\{(x,t)\in \mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}: x=x_{0}+vt ~\text{with}~ x_{0}\in[x_{1},x_{2}]\right\}$. We show that solution resolution conjecture of the Hirota equation is characterized by the leading order term $\mathcal {O}(t^{-1/2})$ in the continuous spectrum, $\mathcal {N}(\mathcal {I})$ soliton solutions in the discrete spectrum and error order $\mathcal {O}(t^{-3/4})$ from the $\overline{\partial}$ equation.
