Abstract
The complete classification of solutions to the defocusing complex modified Korteweg-de Vries (cmKdV) equation with the step-like initial condition is given by Whitham theory. The process of studying the solution of cmKdV equation can be reduced to explore four quasi-linear equations, which predicts the evolution of dispersive shock wave. The results obtained here are quite different from the defocusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation: the bidirectionality of defocusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation determines that there are two basic rarefaction and shock structures while in the cmKdV case three basic rarefaction structures and four basic dispersive shock structures are constructed which lead to more complicated classification of step-like initial condition, and wave patterns even consisted of six different regions while each of wave patterns is consisted of five regions in the defocusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Direct numerical simulations of cmKdV equation are agreed well with the solutions corresponding to Whitham theory.
