Résumé

The soliton resolution for the focusing modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation is established for initial conditions in some weighted Sobolev spaces. Our approach is based on the nonlinear steepest descent method and its reformulation through $\overline{\partial}$ -derivatives. From the view of stationary points, we give precise asymptotic formulas along trajectory $x = v t$ for any fixed v. To extend the asymptotics to solutions with initial data in low regularity spaces, we apply a global approximation via PDE techniques. As by-products of our long-time asymptotics, we also obtain the asymptotic stability of nonlinear structures involving solitons and breathers.
