Since the rate of amplitude damping in both NDB compactons and the KdV solitons are similar, one can intuitively interpret this behavior as a transformation of a NDB compacton into a KdV soliton during its propagation.

Reporting on their joint research, Ricketts (Carnegie Mellon U., Pennsylvania) and Ham (Harvard University, Massachusetts) offer a comprehensive treatment of the KdV soliton on the nonlinear transmission line; they are not concerned here with solitons in other media or with other kinds of solitons in the electrical domain.
The first solution type is a single KdV soliton, i.e., just a single KdV soliton emerges over time.
The second solution type is a KdV soliton ensemble.
Figure 2(b) shows the dependence of the pulse width of a single KdV soliton on [V.sub.b], calculated by Eq.
As a result, both the c- and [pi]-modes are known to support the KdV solitons [11].
The localized initial wave [(3:1).sub.2] is the analytical solution for equation (2.9) in the case of w = 0, i.e., it represents the KdV soliton.
On the other hand, numerical simulations demonstrate that for some initial conditions a train of KdV2 solitons, almost the same as that of KdV solitons, emerges from the cosine wave as in Zabusky and Kruskal [8] numerical simulation.
The striking pattern of soliton trajectories emerging for the KdV solitons is described by Salupere et al.
