We consider initial-boundary value problems for the derivative nonlinear\nSchr "odinger (DNLS) equation on the half-line x > 0. In a previous work, we\nshowed that the solution q(x,t) can be expressed in terms of the solution of\na Riemann-Hilbert problem with jump condition specified by the initial and\nboundary values of q(x,t). However, for a well-posed problem, only part of\nthe boundary values can be prescribed; the remaining boundary data cannot be\nindependently specified, but are determined by the so-called global relation.\nIn general, an effective solution of the problem therefore requires solving the\nglobal relation. Here, we present the solution of the global relation in terms\nof the solution of a system of nonlinear integral equations. This also provides\na construction of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the DNLS equation on the\nhalf-line.\n
