Abstract
• A unitarized BFKL equation incorporating shadowing and antishadowing corrections of the gluon recombinationis proposed. This equation near the saturation limit reduces to the Balitsky-Kovchegov evolution equation. We find that the influence of the antishadowing effect to the pre-asymptotic form of the gluon distribution is un-negligible.

*Where are from the negative corrections ?
**The suppression to the gluon splitting comes from
its inverse process---the gluon recombination.
***The negative screening effect in the recombination
process originally occurs in the interferant
cut-diagrams of the recombination amplitudes

Shadowing and Antishadowing effects

The antishadowing effect always coexists with the shadowing effect in the QCD recombination
processes ----A general conclusion of the momentum
conservation
Similar antishadowing effect should
exist in any unitarized BFKL equations.

(i) The momentum conservation of partons is restored in a complete modified DGLAP equation;
• (ii) Because of the shadowing and antishadowing effects in the modified DGLAP equation have different kinematic regions, the net effect depends not only on the local value of the gluon distribution at the observed point, but also on the shape of the gluon distribution when the Bjorken variable goes from x to x/2.

5. Conclusions
• We presented the correction of the gluon recombination to the BFKL equation and it leads to a new unitarized nonlinear evolution equation, which incorporates both shadowing and antishadowing effects. The new equation reduces to the BK equation near the saturation limit. The numerical solution of the equation shows that the influence of the antishadowing effect to the pre-asymptotic form of the the gluon distribution is un-negligible.
