摘要

This paper presents a Riemann–Hilbert (RH) approach to the inverse scattering transform, which is employed to solve the initial value problem for a higher-order short pulse (SP) equation on the line with zero boundary conditions. The RH problem is formulated for two types of scattering data: one with N simple poles and the other with N higher-order poles. Using the asymptotic behavior of the spectral variable at \(k=0\) k = 0 , the solution of the higher-order SP equation is recovered from the solution of the RH problem. In the reflectionless case, we generalize the residue theorem, which allows us to derive multiple higher-order pole solutions for the higher-order SP equation by solving a linear algebraic system. Finally, general formulae are derived for the solutions of the higher-order SP equation, which cover cases of N simple poles and N higher-order poles. As applications, explicit simple-pole and double-pole solutions are displayed in both analytical and graphical forms. Depending on the parameter choices, these correspond to singular-loop solitons and two distinct types of breathers.
