Abstract
We investigate the sine-Gordon equation utt−uxx+sinu=0 on the semi-axis x>0. We show that boundary conditions of the forms ux(0,t)=c1 cos(u(0,t)/2)+c2 sin(u(0,t)/2) and u(0,t)=c are compatible with the Bäcklund transformation. We construct a multisoliton solution satisfying these boundary conditions.
