Abstract

Sufficient conditions are given so that the initial value problem for the Shabat equation has a unique analytic solution, which, together with its first derivative, converges absolutely for z∈ℂ:|z|<T, T>0. Moreover, a bound of this solution is given. The sufficient conditions involve only the initial condition, the parameters of the equation, and T. Furthermore, from these conditions, one can obtain an upper bound for T. Our results are in consistence with some recently found results.
