Abstract:In this paper, we study the step-like initial value problem for a generalized derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation using the Whitham modulation theory. First, we utilize the finite-gap integration method to obtain the periodic solutions and the relevant Whitham equations for the 0-, 1-, and 2-genus cases used to characterize dispersive shock waves (DSWs). Second, we investigate four fundamental waves: two rarefaction waves (RWs) and two DSWs with step-like initial data. On this basis, we show the effect o… Show more
