Set $\kappa =(a^2/3-b{)}^{1/2}>0$, $\sigma =-c+ab/3-2a^3/27$, and use the gauge reduction of a third-order half-line equationThe spatial differential operator acting on $q$ is obtained by replacing ${\partial }_X$ with $\kappa {\partial }_x-a/3$. Its second-derivative coefficient vanishes. The first-derivative coefficient is $\kappa (b-a^2/3)=-{\kappa }^3$, and the constant coefficient is $c-ab/3+2a^3/27=-\sigma$. The time derivative supplies $\sigma q+{\kappa }^3{q}_t$, so all constant terms cancel and the remaining equation is ${\kappa }^3(q_t+q_{xxx}-q_x)=0$.

The transformed initial condition and Dirichlet boundary data are thereforeCompatibility at the corner is preserved. Since $a<0$, this exponential gauge improves the spatial decay of the initial data, which supports convergence of its Half-range Fourier transform.
