Abstract
A method for solving the initial-value problem of the Korteweg-deVries equation is presented which is applicable to initial data that approach a constant sufficiently rapidly as $|x|\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$. The method can be used to predict exactly the "solitons," or solitary waves, which emerge from arbitrary initial conditions. Solutions that describe any finite number of solitons in interaction can be expressed in closed form.

The Generation and Propagation of Oscillations in Dispersive Initial Value Problems and Their Limiting Behavior

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review a variety of equations describing physical systems in which dissipative or diffusive mechanisms are absent, but which undergo dispersive processes, and investigate the limiting behavior of such a system when the parameter in the dispersive term tends to zero.
