On asymptotic stability of multi-solitons for the focusing modified Korteweg-de Vries equation. (English) Zbl 1534.35355

Summary: In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for the focusing modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation with a weighted Sobolev initial data \(u_0 \in H^2(\mathbb{R}) \cap L^{2, s}(\mathbb{R})\), \(s > 1/2\). We use the inverse scattering transform, the dressing-up transformation and \(\overline{\partial}\)-steepest descent method to prove the asymptotic stability of the multi-solitons of the mKdV equation.
