Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this paper we examine the semiclassical behavior of the scattering data of a non-self-adjoint Dirac operator with a rapidly oscillating potential that is complex analytic in some neighborhood of the real line. Some of our results are rigorous and quite general. On the other hand, complete and concrete understanding requires the investigation of the WKB geometry of specific examples. For such detailed computations we use a particular example that has been investigated numerically more than 20 years ago by Bronski and Miller and rely heavily on their numerical computations. Mostly employing the exact WKB method, we provide the complete rigorous uniform semiclassical analysis of the Bohr-Sommerfeld condition for the location of the eigenvalues across unions of analytic arcs as well as the associated norming constants. For the reflection coefficient as well as the eigenvalues near 0 in the spectral plane, we employ instead an older theory that has been developed in great detail by Olver. Our analysis is motivated by the need to understand the semiclassical behavior of the focusing cubic NLS equation with initial data Aexp{iS/ϵ}, in view of the well-known fact discovered by Zakharov and Shabat that the spectral analysis of the Dirac operator enables the solution of the NLS equation via inverse scattering theory.
