Abstract: We investigate the large-time asymptotics of solution for the Cauchy problem of the nonlocal focusing modified Kortweg-de Vries (MKdV) equation with step-like initial data, i.e., u0(x)ightarrow0 as xightarrowinfty, u0(x)ightarrowA as xightarrow+infty,where A is an arbitrary positive real number. We firstly develop the direct scattering theory to establish the basic Riemann-Hilbert (RH) problem associated with step-like initial data. Thanks to the symmetries xightarrowx, tightarrowt of nonlocal MKdV equation, we investigate the asymptotics for tightarrowinfty and tightarrow+infty respectively. Our main technique is to use the steepest descent analysis to deform the original matrix-valued RH problem to corresponded regular RH problem, which could be explicitly solved. Finally we obtain the different large-time asymptotic behaviors of the solution of the Cauchy problem for focusing nonlocal MKdV equation in different space-time sectors mathcalRI, mathcalRII, mathcalRIII and mathcalRIV on the whole (x,t)-plane.
