Parametrix problem for the Korteweg-de Vries equation with steplike initial data. (English) Zbl 1528.35152

The KdV equation is considered with sufficiently smooth steplike initial data. In order to obtain precise asymptotics of solutions to the Cauchy problem, an approach based on the direct comparison of resolvents of the associated Riemann-Hilbert problem is applied. These solutions develop shock waves between asymptotically constant and soliton regions.
