The Ostrovsky-Vakhnenko (OV) equation amp;utxx-3κux+3uxuxx+uuxxx=0 is a short wave model of the well-known Degasperis-Procesi equation and admits a 3× 3 matrix Lax pair. In this paper, we study the soliton resolution and asymptotic stability of N-loop soliton solutions for the OV equation with Schwartz initial data that supports soliton solutions. It is shown that the solution of the Cauchy problem can be characterized via a 3× 3 matrix Riemann-Hilbert (RH) problem in a new scale. Further by deforming the RH problem into solvable models with ∂-steepest descent method, we obtain the soliton resolution to the OV equation in two space-time regions x/t>0 and x/t<0. This result also implies that N-loop soliton solutions of the OV equation are asymptotically stable.
