Generation of undular bores in the shelves of slowly-varying solitary waves

We study the long-time evolution of the trailing shelves that form behind solitary waves moving through an inhomogeneous media, within the framework of the variable-coeffecient Korteweg-de Vries equation. We show that the nonlinear evolution of the shelf leads typically to the generation of an undul...
