The Ostrovsky-Vakhnenko equation by a Riemann-Hilbert approach

We present an inverse scattering transform approach for the equation $u_{txx}-3u_x+3u_xu_{xx}+uu_{xxx}=0$. This equation can be viewed as the short wave model for the Degasperis-Procesi equation or the differentiated Ostrovsky-Vakhnenko equation. The approach is based on an associated Riemann-Hilbert problem, which allows us to give a representation for the classical (smooth) solution, to get the principal term of its long time asymptotics, and also to describe loop soliton solutions.
