Damping of large-amplitude solitary waves

Soliton damping in weakly dissipative media has been studied for several decades, usually using the asymptotic theory of the slowly-varying solitary wave solution of the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Damping then occurs according to the momentum balance equation, and a shelf is generated behind the so...
