Long-Time Asymptotics for Defocusing Manakov System
Analysis
Key Takeaways
- •Derives a long-time asymptotic formula for the defocusing Manakov system.
- •Employs a Riemann-Hilbert problem and Deift-Zhou steepest descent analysis.
- •Identifies and provides an explicit expression for a dispersive correction term not present in the scalar case.
“The leading order of the solution takes the form of a modulated multisoliton. Apart from the error term, we also discover that the defocusing Manakov system has a dispersive correction term of order $t^{-1/2}$, but this term does not exist in the scalar case...”
